Gaza: Israeli Gunfire Kills 3 Children
By ISABEL KERSHNER [Israel-Palestine] [former Palestine] [former Gaza, Hamastan] [another incident where Israelis pushed too far, potentially] [with children involved, almost certainly going to inflame passions] [followup] [******]
A 10-year-old Palestinian girl and two boys, 10 and 12, were killed by Israeli fire in northern Gaza. In a statement, the Israeli Army said that it had fired at rocket launchers in the area. [****] Separately, the Israeli deputy prime minister, Haim Ramon, said that Israel had offered several months ago to release 450 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Cpl. Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier seized in June 2006 during a Hamas-led raid inside Israel but that the Egyptian-brokered talks broke down [****] because of disagreement over which prisoners would be released. At an event for Corporal Shalit’s 21st birthday on Monday, his father, Noam, accused Israeli leaders of “a clear and utter failure of the system” in his son’s case.
