About 150 Palestinians, many of them civilians, have died in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the capture of Cpl Gilad Shalit. The United Nations says 35 children have been killed in the past month alone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 August 2006 Witnesses also said a private hospital in Baalbek, filled with patients and wounded people, was bombed by Israeli helicopters late on Tuesday. Baalbek is about 100kilometres north of the Litani River, which the Israelis had set as a northern boundary for their expanded ground operation, announced early on Tuesday. The ancient city with spectacular Roman ruins was a former Syrian army headquarters and included the barracks of the Iranian revolutionary guards when they trained Hezbollah fighters there in the 1980s. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 August 2006 "The continued killing and injuring of hundreds of civilians, including children, in Gaza, by Israeli forces is utterly unjustifiable," spokesman Stephane Dujarric added. He voiced particular concern about the "arbitrary arrests" of senior Palestinians including Aziz Dweik, the Palestinian parliamentary speaker detained by Israel on Sunday. |
