De Israelische Terreur 26




Defence for Children International bericht: 'Israeli shells kill five children on Gaza beach.

Seven members of one family, including five children, were killed when Israeli artillery shelled a beach packed with picnickers in northern Gaza on 9 June. Dozens more civilians were injured in the incident which occurred in broad daylight as families relaxed on the beach on Friday.
The five children killed have been identified as: Haytham Ghalia (5 months old) Hanadi Ghalia (1 and a half years old)Sabreen Ghalia (5 years old)Ilham Ghalia (15 years old) Aliya Ghalia (17 years old)
The children's father – Ali Ghalia – and his wife were also killed in the attack.
Eyewitnesses described how a barrage of shells, fired from the direction of an Israeli military gunship stationed just offshore, rained down on the beach-goers, killing members of the Ghalia family outright and wounding at least forty other people, including 12 children. Many of those taken to hospital sustained critical injuries and medical sources say the death toll could rise further.
Israeli government sources however claimed that the shells which hit Sudaniya beach east of Beit Lahiya did not come from the gunship, but were more likely to have been fired by Israeli ground forces. The Israeli military said it “regretted the harm done to innocent civilians”.
Since Israel pulled out from the Gaza Strip last summer, the Israeli military has embarked on a systematic and sustained shelling campaign, particularly of the northern Gaza Strip, ostensibly to prevent Palestinian militants from firing homemade rockets towards southern Israel. The Israeli artillery has fired thousands of shells each month this year around the northern Gaza towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya, killing one Palestinian child and injuring at least a dozen others. In addition, thousands of Gazan children have been left traumatized by the sonic booms caused by Israeli military aircraft deliberately breaking the sound barrier while flying at low altitude over the Gaza Strip.
Defence for Children International/Palestine Section (DCI/PS) views with extreme concern the growing list of child fatalities in Gaza resulting from Israel's disproportionate use of force, which is not justified by military necessity nor gives due concern to the safety of protected persons, including children.
We call on the High Contracting Parties of the Fourth Geneva Convention to hold Israel accountable to its international humanitarian law obligations.' Zie:
http://www.dci-pal.org/english/display.cfm?DocId=496&CategoryId=1 Nederland steunt Israel economisch, politiek en militair, en boycot tegelijkertijd de Palestijnse bervolking. Die boycot er vanwege terreur, niet van Israel, in feite wordt de 'joodse staat' er zelfs voor beloond, maar vanwege Hamas. Zodra de Palestijnen zich verzetten tegen de Israelische terreur worden ze gestraft door het Westen.
