Israeli Defence Force murdering women? The events in the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun which led to the shooting dead of two women and injuries to others is not the first such incident. But it must qualify as a new low by the Israeli military.
According to Palestine Centre for Human Rights, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli Defence Force in the Gaza Strip between 25 June 2006 and 6 September 2006 stood at 226. That number includes 47 children and 12 women. In addition, 726 others, mostly civilians, including 196 children, 27 women, 4 paramedics and 4 journalists, have been wounded.
That's June to September. For casualty figures between 6 September and today, Mister B has not so far been able to track down reliable numbers. Whatever they are, they are dreadful.
