Images from Gaza today...

In this Sunday massacre, 20 people were killed and Over 103 injured in less than 14 hours in Gaza Strip.

Gaza Strip, a place connected with devastations, killing, demolishing, blocking roads and assassinating, probably it became the Israeli army game, if not an entertainment play when they shed the blood of the people and children while they were going to their schools..

Seeing that makes one's heart bleed: children's body fragments everywhere. It was Al Burij and Al Nisiurat areas which was worse hit in all Gaza Strip in the last two days, as in those camps, 14 people get killed and over 81 were injured.. In addition 6 people were killed and other 22 were injured at the Erez crossing checkpoint .. The Israeli apaches participated in that incursion. The Ministry of Education now closed schools today.

In Rafah Refuge Camp, the Israeli Army alleged that they invade the camps because of tunnels which were used by Palestinians to smuggle weapons. It seems that they found other reasons to say to the media in order to justify their crimes although hundreds of houses which demolished in Rafah far from the border line, and now in those camps which are located in the middle of Gaza Strip. We haven’t heard the Israeli media justifying its last attack which lead to 20 being people, 103 injured, most of them are children who were seriously injured..

From tragedy to tragedy, form pain to pain, and from sorrow to sorrow, that is the current situations in Gaza Strip. Two Palestinians were killed over the last few days during clashes between them and the Israeli soldiers in the Erez crossing and checkpoint. As a result of that, some Israeli soldiers were injured and, and other Palestinians workers also were injured.

Many people were killed in Gaza Strip in the last few days, but the worst attack was in Gaza City when four Palestinians were assassinated in an air strike which targeting the Islamic Jihad members in Al Saftawi area in Gaza. That attack led to many injured people living in the mentioned area..

Two bulldozers with two tanks attacked some shops, markets and trade areas in the north of Gaza Strip, where over 120 shops where demolished by the Israeli bulldozers. Those shops sells foods, electronic equipment, clothes, houses materials in addition to other different shops..

Hamdan Al Mekaied, one of the owners of those demolished shops said: "what a miserable and loss, I hadn’t lost only my shop but also my goods which are estimated to be over US$7000."

Beith Hmaoun mayor Ibrahim Hamad commented on that attack by saying: "In the last attack after the Israeli Army demolished over 120 shops, the loses were over one million dollars in only a few hours."

Israeli daily routine in Khan Younis City became clear: they blocked thousands of people and prevented them from going schools, universities and work, as every day, going from Rafah to Gaza City, which doesn’t take more than one hour in normal situations, now it takes the same time as for traveling to Britain. The result is staying many hours at the checkpoint of Abu Holi as sometimes sleeping in it.

Today, the Israeli Army arrested five Palestinians on the checkpoint of Abu Holi..
