Israeli Army Kills 14 Palestinians and Injures Dozens in Khan Younis
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (IAP News) - At least 14 Palestinian civilians were killed and more than eighty others injured before dawn Monday when an Israeli helicopter gunship fired missiles at civilian onlookers near a mosque in Khan Younis in the central part of the Gaza Strip. Eyewitnesses described the scene of the killing as “gruesome massacre.”
“It is a big massacre, Israel is carrying out a real genocide against Palestinians here. When will the world intervene to stop this genocide?” Said 23 Fouad Abdul Salam. “How many more Palestinian children will have to be slaughtered by the terrorist Sharon before the world wakes up?”
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, an apache helicopter fired at least one missile at the crowd, causing the mayhem. “As you see, it is a slaughter house, and it is all kosher, “ said Hasan Astal, who lost two of his relatives in the carnage. “Shame on this world where children are massacred by helicopter gunships while hypocritical politicians in London and Washington look the other way. Aren’t we human beings, too? Isn’t this terror?”
Palestinian sources said dozens of Israeli tanks overran the Amal neighborhood in Khan Younis shortly after midnight and began firing artillery shells at civilian homes. An elderly Palestinian woman was killed and other members of her family injured. The invading forces didn’t destroy homes as they usually do in such incursions. However, when the tanks withdrew shortly before dawn, hundreds of Palestinians left their homes and gathered near a Mosque at the Katiba neighborhood, apparently to inspect the damage.
