3 years ago by ira to c/worldnews

Children make up 40 percent of dead since Israel started bombing the enclave, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.

Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

It is all and well within the limit of a "proportionate" response exercising the "right of selfdefence"! Wondering who decides where the limit goes.
