'Israeli forces kill at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza incursion
Report, PCHR, 27 June 2007
In the early morning hours of Wednesday, 27 June 2007, IOF conducted two incursions into the town of Khuza'a to the east of Khan Yunis and into Sheja'eya Quarter in the eastern part of Gaza City. Up to the publication of this report, these incursions resulted in the death of 11 Palestinians. Among those killed are six civilians, including two children and two brothers. In addition, 50 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been injured. In the afternoon, IOF withdrew from Sheja'eya, leaving behind considerable destruction. The incursion into Khuza'a continued at the time of publication. In light of this escalation and the persistence of IOF military operations, PCHR is concerned over the falling of additional civilian victims. It is noted that this escalation coincides with the continued hermetic closure of the Gaza Strip imposed two weeks ago, thus threatening to cause a humanitarian crisis in the Strip.PCHR's preliminary investigation indicates that at approximately 15:30 on 27 June 2007, IOF armored vehicles, supported by military aircraft, moved nearly 1.5 kilometers into the town of Khuza'a to the east of Khan Yunis. IOF troops stormed a number of residential houses in Abu Reida neighborhood in the town; and transformed many of these homes into military outposts and held residents as hostages. Palestinian resistance activists confronted the IOF troops. Sporadic clashes continued till time of publication. These clashes resulted in the killing of two resistance activists and the injury of two others. The activists killed are:
· Deya Mohammad Abu Daqqa (24), killed by a bullet to the chest.
· Husam Abdallah Abu To'ema (24) killed by a bullet to the head.
IOF is calling upon all males aged 15-50 to come out of their homes and gather in one of the town squares.At approximately 5:00 on 27 June 2007, IOF armored vehicles, supported by military aircraft, moved into Sheja'eya Quarter in the eastern part of Gaza City. IOF fired a shell at two civilians, killing them instantly:
· Nafez Mahmoud Hilles (27).
· Ahmad Ayyad Hilles (16).
Ten civilians, including a child, a girl, and an elderly man, were injured by indiscriminate IOF shelling and fire against civilian houses.'

Overigens stond dit vanmorgen ook in de online Volkskrant, maar is op mysterieuze wijze verdwenen.
Hoewel niet direct betrekking hebbend op deze zoveelste misdaad zijn soort:
Alastair Crooke inventariseert het kwaadaardige en uiteindelijk oliedomme Westerse en Israelische beleid t.o.v. de Palestijnen.

De passage aan het eind waar Crooke de landen opsomt waar de VS nu facties militair steunt in interne conflicten (Somalië, Soedan, Irak, Palestina, Libanon, Afghanistan) roept het beeld op van een Witte Huis dat nu alle remmen heeft losgegooid en desperaat probeert de zaak in de gewenste richting te schoppen. Alarmerend genoeg ziet Crooke een parallel met de situatie vlak voor de Eerste Wereldoorlog: het hele Midden Oosten kan in brand komen te staan.
