8 Palestinians Injured in Israeli Strike on Gaza

HeadlineAug 29, 2006

An Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip has wounded at least eight Palestinians, including innocent bystanders. The strike comes one day after thousands of Palestinians attended the funerals of four Palestinian civil servants killed in an Israeli bombing earlier that day. More than 180 Palestinians, more than half of them civilians, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since June

  • Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh: “The Palestinian government denounces the ugly massacres that the Israeli occupation forces carry out in the West Bank and Gaza. The most recent was the killing of eight people in Gaza. Among them there were four members of the security forces and the continued killing of citizens of Khan Younis and Nablus and Jabalya. Israeli forces regularly continue to commit these massacres under a political framework against Palestinian civilians, in particular targeting residential buildings.”
