The children, their parents and everybody were sleeping in their houses, in the middle of the night when the Israeli F16s bombed a house in the middle of Gaza City, in Al Shiekh Radwan village, killing 23 Palestinians and injuring 60. The bomb felt like an earthquake. "I was asleep, then we found ourselves suddenly in the middle of dust and the floor fell apart and the windows blew up" said Samah, a 14 years old girl who was bleeding at Al Shifa hospitals.

Samah's tears alone told the horror story - nine among the victims are from one family, most are children as well as their mother and father who is s a university professor.

The attack this time was overwhelming for the entire neighborhood. This air raid was allegedly targetting a Hamas leader. Naturally those really targetted are the children, women and civilians sleeping inside their homes. These photos are proof that Palestinians are getting killed for no reasons, except being on their own land.

A leaflet handed by Hamas militant wing vows painful responses to the Israeli assault into Gaza as the Israeli army pushes for a new offensive in the impoverished territory.

A total of 70 Palestinians have now been killed since Israel stepped up its massive ground assault into Gaza last Wednesday in a bid to secure the release of the missing teenage soldier and to halt rocket fire.
