List of families targeted by Israeli shellings, airstrikes

[Jefferson23]

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces have repeatedly struck family homes throughout its assault on Gaza, and the Ministry of Health calculates that over 50 families have been targeted.

Airstrikes and shellings have targeted 52 families and killed 285 members of those families since the beginning of the offensive, according to the ministry.

Human Rights Watch said in a July 20 report that various Israeli attacks on civilian targets throughout the conflict were "apparent violations of the laws of war."

HRW found during an investigation that Israel had targeted one family who had relatives active in the Islamic Jihad movement, even though no one living in the house was a part of the movement. The rights group found no evidence the home was being used for military purposes.

1. NuttyYahoo is the Dick Cheney of the middle east.

The Israeli people are better than that warmonger just like the American people are better than Cheney and his group.

This is all too terrible for words.

[defacto7]

2. "the laws of war"

as if laws of war matter.

If there really were such a thing, there would be a law against war, but then that wouldn't matter either. Warmongers just do what they do... and we have to take it.

I have nothing but revulsion for those who kill the innocent.
