Palestinians find 35 bodies in Gaza battle zone
Source: AP


GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A Palestinian health official says the bodies of 35 people have been found in the rubble of a Gaza Strip battle zone.

Dr. Moaiya Hassanain of the Palestinian Health Ministry says the bodies were discovered Thursday during a three-hour pause in fighting. Israel agreed to the lull to allow aid shipments into Gaza.

Hassanain says some of the bodies were discovered in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City. The area has seen some of the heaviest fighting between Israeli troops and Hamas militants in recent days.

He says it's not clear how many militants were killed because the remains were in poor condition. But he says women and children were among the dead.

1. I'm sure the women and children were "militants" too.
We know for a fact that U.S. weapons, whether fired by our own troops or allies, only kill the "bad guys".

:sarcasm: (just in case)

2. And the religious who feel that all of Palestine is theirs,
are waiting to move back in and rebuild settlements.

I am sickened.

4. Let them soak the land in the blood of the innocent
And let them build the empire upon their bones.

If such things are "Holy," Then let me be the most unholy person alive.

5. Yes, a word most people are allergic to using
Even as it happens.
