Israeli F16 Attack Kills Father of Palestinian Journalist; Israel Bombs UN School, Killing Three
Meanwhile five Israeli soldiers were also killed on Monday. The Israeli military says four of them died in two separate incidents when Israeli tank shells errantly hit the areas where they were operating. The mistaken killing of its own soldiers could serve to further bolster criticism of Israel”s claim to be attacking Gaza with precise strikes on militant targets.
Overall, an estimated 573 Palestinians have been killed with more than 2,500 wounded.
The UN says around a quarter of the dead are civilians, but that figure only counts women and children, excluding adult males. Today we will look at one of those men killed.
