Israelis 'shot at fleeing Gazans'

[DogPoundPup]

Some Palestinian civilians in Gaza say Israeli forces shot at them as they tried to leave their homes - in some cases bearing white flags.

One testimony heard by the BBC and human rights group B'tselem describes Israeli forces shooting a woman in the head after she stepped out of her house carrying a piece of white cloth, in response to an Israeli loudhailer announcement.

The Israeli military has dismissed the report as "without foundation".

The BBC has spoken to members of another family who say they are trapped in their home by fighting and have been shot at when they tried to leave to replenish dwindling water and food supplies, even during the three-hour humanitarian lull.

6. Yes, there was an article in the Times today quoting IDF soldiers

saying the plan was to fire at everything and anything. One quote I recall is, they would blast a wall down to go through it rather than go around. Of course, they would have no idea who was on the other side of that wall.

I can't find the article for some reason but will.

At least in Viet Nam, there was no fence.

5. That is sickening. And, indefensible.

Gazans are running out of water. They are trapped and being fire upon daily. This needs to stop.
