Outrage over an Israeli strike Tuesday near a U.N. school that killed 39 people continued, with the U.N. agency responsible for the building demanding an "impartial investigation" into the attack.
About 300 of the more than 670 Palestinians killed so far are civilians, according to Palestinian and U.N. figures. Of those killed, at least 130 are children age 16 and under, says the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights, which tracks casualties.
The number of armed fighters killed remains unclear. Hamas fighters are known to have begun wearing civilian clothes and the organization is keeping its casualties secret and housing its wounded and dead in undisclosed locations.
Israel has lost six soldiers since launching a ground offensive on Saturday, and four other Israelis have been killed by rocket fire, three of them civilians.
(I am sorry anytime any one is killed in a war and for sure when children or civilians are among the dead. Still where is the outrage when Jewish children or civilians from Israel are killed. Israel would not do any attacking if the PLO had not attacked them first.Read more on this issue
