GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces killed at least 100 Palestinians
on Sunday including 66 in a single neighborhood of Gaza City,
bringing the 13-day death toll to 437.<br>
<br>
The assault on Gaza -- which has also left 18 Israels dead -- is the
largest and deadliest attack on the besieged coastal enclave since
2008. More than 200 Palestinians have died since the ground invasion
began on Thursday.<br>
<br>
On Sunday, 66 bodies were recovered from the Shujaiyya neighborhood
in eastern Gaza City, in what medical authorities called a
"massacre" and a level of violence not seen before in the ongoing
conflict.<br>
<br>
At least 500 Palestinians were injured in Israeli attacks on
Wednesday, with the total surpassing 3,000 as Gazan hospitals
struggled to cope with the surge and facing shortages of medical
supplies, doctors, and hospital beds. <br>
<br>
Hospitals were also facing continuous power cuts, as electricity has
fallen by more than 70 percent as a result of Israeli shelling and
the siege itself, which even prior to the assault had reduced
electricity availability to eight-hour stints.<br>
<br>
60 thousand Gazans fled their homes on Sunday alone amid the mass
killing in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, adding to a total number of
displaced that has now hit 135,000.<br>
<br>
Sources familiar with the situation argued, however, that there is
not a single place safe from Israeli attack in the besieged coastal
enclave, as shelling from land and sea as well as air strikes have
not left any region untouched.<br>
<br>
Palestinian analysts expressed astonishment at Israel claims that
1.7 million Gaza residents had been warned to leave their homes,
asking: "Where in the world can they go?"<br>
<br>
Israel has kept its border with Gaza shut tight to the flight of
refugees, while Egypt has also maintained the seven-year-old
Israeli-led blockade of the Strip by keeping its border closed as
well.<br>
<br>
Earlier in the day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said
that the operation would continue until quiet was restored in
southern Israel.<br>
<br>
Operation Protective Edge was launched 13 days ago in what Israel
said was an attempt to stop rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, which
had increased after Israel launched a massive operation in the West
Bank that left 10 Palestinians dead, 130 injured, and more than 600
Hamas-affiliated individuals in prison.<br>
<br>
The operation, named "Brother's Keeper," was launched in order to
find three Israeli teenagers who disappeared in June from the Jewish
settlement of Gush Etzion in the West Bank.<br>
<br>
Israel blamed Hamas for the kidnapping without any evidence, a
charge which the group denied.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b> Shelling and airstrikes resume Sunday afternoon </b><br>
<br>
On Sunday afternoon, Israeli shelling fully resumed after a
four-hour humanitarian ceasefire that it violated numerous times,
and dozens more had been killed in the Gaza Strip as a result.<br>
<br>
Rayan Taysir Abu Jami, 8, and an elderly woman named Fatima Mahmoud
Abu Jami were killed and three injured in an air strike on Khan
Younis on Sunday evening, according to Palestinian Ministry of
Health spokesman in Gaza Ashraf al-Qidra.<br>
<br>
Eight Palestinians were also killed in Israeli air strike on house
in al-Ramal. <br>
<br>
The dead were named by Al-Qidra as Samar Osama al-Hallaq,29, Kinan
Akram al-Hallaq, 5, Hani Mohammad al-Hallaq,29, Suad Mohammad
al-Hallaq, 62, Saji al-Hallaq, Ibrahim Khalil Omar, Ahmad Yassin,
and an 8th person, who was unnamed.<br>
<br>
A man and woman, meanwhile, were killed in a strike on the Atatra
house in Beit Lahiya.<br>
<br>
Medical sources said Ahmad Abu Tayim, 27, died of injuries sustained
on an airstrike on al-Zana are of Khan Yunis. <br>
<br>
Aya Abu Sultan, 15, was killed in a strike on her house northern
Gaza Strip. <br>
<br>
Another man was killed, while four were injured in another strike on
Gaza City earlier in the afternoon. <br>
<br>
Palestinian medical sources also said that a child identified as
Suleiman Abu Jami was killed in an Israeli raid on Khan Younis in
the south. <br>
<br>
Five other people were injured in Beit Hanoun in the north. <br>
<br>
In the central Gaza Strip, Israeli airstrikes in the afternoon
killed four members of Abu Zayid family in al-Bureij refugee camp
after destroying their home over their heads. <br>
<br>
Medical sources also said Suleiman Abu Jami was killed in Bani
Suheila in Khan Younis. Four others were injured in the same raid
including one critically injured.<br>
<br>
Al-Qidra said earlier that an elderly woman Najah Saad Addin
Darraji, 65, and a 3-year-old boy Abdullah Yousif Darraji were
killed in Rafah.
