GAZA,(WAFA) - Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) condemned Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killing of four members of one family in Gaza on Friday, 21 July 2006.
A mother, her 2 sons, and the sons' nephew were killed by an artillery shell that fell on their house in Shejaeya Quarter in Gaza City. This is the second crime of its kind in the same quarter this month. Two weeks ago, a mother and 2 of her children were killed in similar circumstances.
PCHR said this crime and others perpetrated by IOF are part of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip that has been ongoing for nearly a month. Palestinian civilians are paying the price of this aggression as a large number of civilians was killed or injured, and their property was destroyed.
Prior to the latest crime in Shejaeya, IOF redeployed out of El-Maghazi refugee camp area after a 2-day attack. IOF left behind a large number of casualties and significant destruction. In addition, IOF withdrew from Nablus in the evening after a 3-day operation, which caused a large number of casualties and destruction.
PCHR said it is extremely concerned over the continued Israeli aggression against the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), which threatens to inflict additional casualties among Palestinian civilians, and cause destruction of civilian property.
