...and there is something called Human Rights, but that is not in Palestine.
This is a war targeting children!

Amar Al Kass, 14 years old, and his friend, Mohammed Abu Tabaq, were not able to make it out to enjoy playing in front of their house. Both boys were injured by the Israeli artillery shelling.

Mamdouh Abeed, 16 years old, died as a result his injuries. Rounds of Israeli artillery killed Abeed few days ago while he was playing with other kids in Al Shiekh Zaied village.

As usual, deaths of children caused by the Israeli shelling never come to an end.

There is never any condemnation from the international community and the so-called "Human Rights Organizations". It seems that there are Human Rights organizations functioning and there is something called Human Rights, but that is not in Palestine.

Israeli helicopters launched at least one missile on Tuesday at a workshop to the east of Gaza City. The missile caused great damage, but no causalities were reported. Witnesses in the area said that fire erupted in the workshop and firemen rushed to extinguish the fire. A state of fear and panic spread among citizens, particularly children and women.

Israeli warships have shelled the Rafah shores and the houses close to the beach with 8 missiles so far. People are appealling to the international community to crack down on Israel to stop such attacks against civilians. Such shelling has caused fear and horror among children, women and elderly people in the whole refugee camp.

About 3,000 people took to the streets of Gaza City in a show of solidarity for fellow Palestinians held behind bars in Israel as part of events to mark Prisoners' Day.

The protestors first rallied outside the local headquarters of the International Committee for the Red Cross before making their way to the Gaza branch of the Palestinian Parliament, chanting "Free Our Prisoners" and carrying banners proclaiming "The Prisoners are the Heart of the Palestinians".

Some of those taking part in the rally carried portraits of Ahmed Saadat, the leader of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine who is being held in a jail near Jerusalem after being controversially kidnapped from a prison in the Palestinian town of Jericho last month.

Others carried posters of Marwan Barghuti, the head of the Fateh faction in the West Bank who is regarded as the inspiration behind the Palestinian uprising, and is now serving five life sentences in an Israeli prison.

In a letter addressed to the ICRC, information minister Yussef Rizqa urged the organization to put pressure on Israel to release Palestinian prisoners as well as improve their conditions. "Israel is always hindering the visits for the families of prisoners," said Rizqa who also accused the prison authorities of obstructing the work of inmates' lawyers.

A total of 9,400 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons, according to the Palestinian central bureau of statistics. The figure includes 369 Palestinians who were jailed before the 1993 Oslo autonomy accords.

MPs held a Parliament session on Monday devoted to the plight of the prisoners. Rallies were also expected to take place in the West Bank.
