As Lebanon War Waged, Life Became Harder In Occupied Territories
Suffering In Gaza And the West Bank
On the back of Israel's military defeat in Lebanon, Palestinians fear that their blood will be used to bolster public confidence in Olmert's government. The Israeli military offensive in Gaza continued unabated during the conflict in Lebanon practically unmonitored. With the exception of the United Nations registering grave concerns over the deteriorating humanitarian conditions and the continued violence against Palestinian civilians and infrastructure, it seems that the Palestinians have been forgotten. 170 Palestinians including, 138 civilians, 14 security officers and 15 militants, were killed in Israeli attacks from June 27th until August 8th 2006. During that same period, Israeli F-16s and helicopters launched 190 air strikes, the Israeli military fired over 3,500 artillery shells, the Israeli Air Force carried out 380 air patrols and 506 Palestinians were injured.
