    Israel pressed ahead with its Gaza offensive on Thursday, killing at least seven people as a soaring Palestinian civilian toll triggered international alarm on the 24th day of the military assault. A pre-dawn Israeli air strike killed a man in the central town of Deir al-Balah, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said. He said two mid-morning strikes killed three more, one in the southern city of Rafah and another two in Deir al-Balah. A strike in the southern city of Khan Younis killed another three people, Qudra said. read (...)

    The Gaza war crimes and the bankruptcy of nationalism
    25 July 2014

    The Palestinian territory of Gaza is the scene of war crimes committed by the state of Israel that defy words. What is to be said about yesterday’s bombing by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of a UN-run school in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, which killed at least 15 people and inflicted terrible wounds on 200 more, overwhelmingly women and children? The IDF had been provided the coordinates of the facility and informed on numerous occasions that the area was occupied by large numbers of civilians seeking refuge from endless artillery and air strikes. The IDF shelled it regardless—the fourth time in a week that UN shelters have been targeted.

    2 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire in protest march near Ramallah | Maan News Agency
    ▻http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=716030

    RAMALLAH (Ma’an) — Two Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces late Thursday as over 10,000 marched from a Ramallah-area refugee camp toward Jerusalem in protest against Israel’s Gaza offensive, a Ma’an reporter at the scene said.

    The slain Palestinians were identified as 19-year-old Mohammad al-Araj and 27-year-old Majd Sufyan , a Ma’an reporter at the scene said.

    At least 108 Palestinians have been injured by Israeli fire during the march, at least 60 of them with live bullets.

    Earlier, Palestinians marched from al-Amari refugee camp toward Qalandia checkpoint, a militarized crossing point between Ramallah and Jerusalem through Israel’s separation wall.

    Soldiers shot live fire and rubber-coated steel bullets into the crowd, in addition to tear gas.

    Protesters set tires on fire and threw rocks and empty bottles at the checkpoint.

      Cisjordanie : un Palestinien tué par les forces israéliennes dans de violents affrontements
      ▻http://www.romandie.com/news/Cisjordanie--un-Palestinien-tue-par-les-forces-israeliennes-dans/500987.rom

      Qalandia (Territoires palestiniens) - Des soldats israéliens ont tué un Palestinien par balle jeudi soir dans des heurts violents entre manifestants et militaires en Cisjordanie, au nord de Jérusalem.

      Selon des responsables des services de sécurité et médicaux palestiniens, la victime est un homme de 25 ans, du nom de Mohammed Al-Aaraj, qui se trouvait parmi au moins 10.000 manifestants que des affrontements ont opposés aux militaires et garde-frontières israéliens à Qalandia, entre Jérusalem et Ramallah.

      Au moins vingt personnes ont en outre été blessées, dont plusieurs par des tirs à balles réelles, ont ajouté les mêmes sources.

      Il y a des milliers de manifestants a indiqué une porte-parole de l’armée israélienne à l’AFP. Ils font rouler des pneus en feu et jettent des cocktails molotov et des pétards sur les soldats et les garde-frontières, a-t-elle ajouté.

      Les soldats répliquent par des moyens antiémeutes, a-t-elle précisé, utilisant un terme qui recouvre normalement les armes comme les balles en caoutchouc et le gaz lacrymogène.

      Elle n’a pu ni confirmer ni démentir le recours à des balles réelles.

      Les manifestants voulaient rallier Jérusalem-Est et l’esplanade de Mosquée, dans la Vieille Ville, pour la Nuit du Destin (Laïlat al-Qadr), une des dates importantes à la fin du mois de ramadan.

      Qalandia est un grand poste militaire israélien qui contrôle l’accès à Jérusalem, interdit aux Palestiniens qui ne disposent pas d’une autorisation spéciale israélienne.
