More then 155 Murdered By Israel as World Still Looks On & Does Nothing

More than 155 Palestinians were killed Saturday in a series of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials said as the latest death toll.

"The number of martyrs reached 155 and the wounded are 200, including a number of civilian women and children," said Mu'awia Hassanien, a Palestinian health ministry official.

The Israeli strikes started at 11:30 a.m. (0830 GMT), hitting more than 30 targets, most of them security compounds run by the Hamas movement who is democratically elected for Palestine but is confined to the Gaza Strip.

Most of the dead were members of Hamas security forces, including their police chief Tawfiq Jaber, the chief of Hamas' Security and Protection Service Ismail al-Jabary and Central Gaza Strip governor Abu Ahmad Ashour.

The bodies of the dead were thrown in the al-Shifa hospital's corridors because the morgue rooms could not contain the large number of dead people.

According to Hassanien, the number of the dead is the highest ever to be recorded in one day since the 1967 war in which Israel occupied the Gaza Strip.

Egypt opened its borders with Gaza to evacuate casualties for treatment in hospitals.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas who kisses Israel's ass condemned the attacks and called on Israel to stop and of course they will not. Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad also expressed the same stance, saying his cabinet was holding intensive contacts with Arab and international diplomats to halt the Israeli assaults.

The Israeli strikes came after its cabinet decided to intensify military pressure against Hamas to stop their Resistance. An Egyptian-brokered ceasefire between Hamas and Israel expired on Dec. 19.

Meanwhile, the armed Palestinian groups started firing rounds of projectiles into Israeli border towns, killing a woman in Western Negev community of Netivot and injuring six.

The armed wing of Islamic Hamas movement also threatened to respond to the Israeli attacks.

"We will violently retaliate, god willing, and will let the (Israeli) occupation knows that it has thrown itself into fire by attacking Gaza," said Abu Obaida, a spokesman for Ezz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas.

Fawzi Barhoum, a spokesman for Hamas, called on al-Qassam Brigades to continue and intensify rocket-fire into Israeli communities near Gaza, while condemning "the silent and still Arab position on Gaza massacre."

Mohammed Dahlan, a Fatah member who fled Gaza before Hamas took over it last year, called on the Palestinian factions to reunite to face the offensive. He also urged Fatah-aligned doctors, who went on strike a few months ago to protest Hamas, to return to their jobs to help save the lives of the over 200 injured.
