GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli forces killed at least 11 people, including several children, in a single airstrike that destroyed a home here on Sunday, as Israel pressed its bombardment of the Gaza Strip for a fifth day, deploying warplanes and naval vessels to pummel the coastal enclave.
The airstrike, which the Israeli military said was meant to kill a Palestinian militant involved in the recent rocket attacks, was the deadliest operation in the recent clashes and was expected to weigh on negotiations for a possible cease-fire.

How many killed in Syria during the same time period?

Isn't Netanyahu in charge of US policy in the middle east?
The incidental killing of women and children in Gaza is exactly what Hamas is looking for. It plays well on the international stage.
NY Times says " In all, 73 Palestinians, including 37 civilians, had been killed in the five-day onslaught" So exactly HOW does the Times know which people are "Civilains"? Do they get their info from Hamas? From the anti-Israel U.N.? From the anti-Israel Turkey, from the Muslim Brotherhood? Do they wear a shirt with a big "C" on it? Or, more likely, does the anti-Israel Times just MAKE IT UP?
