Gaza: Israeli Airstrike Kills Pregnant Palestinian & Her Daughter

HeadlineOct 12, 2015

In Gaza, an Israeli airstrike killed a pregnant Palestinian woman and her daughter Sunday, as Israeli soldiers also killed a 13-year-old Palestinian boy in the West Bank. This comes amid escalating violence across the region. Israeli soldiers shot and killed nine Palestinians along the border with Gaza over the weekend, as well as two Palestinian boys in the West Bank Friday. At least two Israelis have been killed and more wounded over the last two weeks in a series of stabbings by Palestinians. This comes after the fatal shooting of an Israeli couple in the West Bank on October 1.
