Deaths as Israel hits Gaza mosque
At least 11 Palestinians, including one child, have been killed after Israeli forces struck a mosque during prayers in the town of Beit Lahiya, north of Jabaliya in the Gaza Strip.
More than 200 people were inside the the Ibrahim al-Maqadna mosque praying when it was struck.
It is not clear yet whether the mosque was hit as part of the Israeli army’s shelling, which started on Saturday afternoon.
At least 50 people were wounded, Hamas and medical officials said.
The Israeli military has destroyed several mosques during its week-long offensive in Gaza, saying Hamas uses the houses of worship to store weapons.
Ayman Mohyeldin, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza, said: “As much as Israel wants to be surgical in its strikes at the end of the day it is civilians that are being hit. This is proof that civilians are caught up in these attacks.”
Mohyeldin said doctors in the Gaza Strip were being overwhelmed by the number of casualties being brought in as a result of the Israeli offensive and that hospitals were near a state of collapse due to a lack of medicines and blood.
Al Jazeera English – Middle East – Deaths as Israel hits Gaza mosque
This war is totally bogus; it is really the US against the Muslim world by proxy.
There is absolutely no way that the Palestinians can win or even compete with America’s surrogate fighting forces in Israel.
The only way this war will end is for America to stop spending my taxpayer dollars on Israel and let them fight it out with their own resources, but this will never happen, New York’s Mayor Bloomberg is already enrooted to Israel with bags full of New York money for the war.
It is time to let Israel fend for itself and for these two factions to stop fighting or kill and main themselves back to the stone age where theory feel comfortable.
As long as we play Nanny to Israel, they will make war with one or all of its neighbors and legitimate owners of the land the claim.
However, the chances of Israel losing its status as our favorite child that never grew up are slim and none as the Jewish lobby in Congress, Washington, and Wall St. are too powerful to break, if an attempt was made all the Bloombergs would come out of the woodwork and stop the American economy and government in its tracks.
