Israeli Commander Suspended For Shooting Palestinian Girl

HeadlineOct 13, 2004

In other news from Gaza, Haaretz is reporting the Israeli military has suspended a military commander following the shooting death of 13-year-old Palestinian girl last week. The unarmed girl was reportedly shot as many as 20 times. Meanwhile a 10-year-Palestinian girl was shot in the stomach yesterday by Israel forces while she was attending class at a UN school in the Khan Yunis refugee camp. Last month, a 10-year-old girl was killed by Israeli gunfire while sitting at her desk at the same school. And in Hebron, Israeli forces today arrested a senior military leader of the Palestinian group Hamas.
