23 Killed in Gaza; Highest 1-Day Palestinian Toll Since Sept. ‘04

HeadlineJul 13, 2006

The bombing of Lebanon has not slowed Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. Israeli strikes killed at least twenty-three Palestinians Wednesday. It was the highest single-day Palestinian death toll in nearly two years. Earlier today, an Israeli plane bombed the Palestinian Foreign Ministry in Gaza, severely damaging the building and surrounding homes. A Palestinian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Israel is carrying out “organized terrorism.” Meanwhile, the death toll in the bombing of a Gaza home early Wednesday rose to at least eighteen, including a mother and her five children. Five Qassam rockets fired by Palestinians in Gaza landed on Israeli territory, causing no injuries or casualties.
