Handicapped pensioner killed as house razed

[dArKeR]

Gaza City - A handicapped Palestinian in his 70s was crushed to death early on Monday when Israeli troops demolished his home in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical and security sources told AFP.

Medics in the southern town of Khan Yunis said Ibrahim Khalafala, 75, was found dead under the rubble of his home shortly after Israeli troops pushed into the area and razed the building during a pre-dawn incursion.

1. Winning the hearts and minds, IDF style.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with an invading army demolishing a building on top of an old handicapped civillian, because I wouldn't want to be accused of anti-Semitism.
