Israeli Shelling Kills Three Palestinians in Gaza

HeadlineSep 13, 2010

Three Palestinians died Sunday when the Israeli military fired shells into the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun. The dead included a ninety-one-year-old man and his teenage grandson. Israel said it began the shelling in response to rockets that were fired across the border from Gaza. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Sunday the Israeli moratorium on new settlements in the West Bank will not stay in place after it expires later this month. A new report from the Israeli group Peace Now has found that 13,000 Jewish settlement housing units in the West Bank are ready for construction once the building moratorium ends on September 26th and at least 2,000 are ready for immediate construction.
