Shamon Peres: Stop your troops attacking Gaza
Since Gaza is so densely populated and the civilians have no shelter to run to take refuge, they become targets. According to Chris Gunness, an advocate for the US Palestine Refugees, about 70% of the fatalities were civilians, of which 30% were children.
Israel said its forces have struck 1,320 "terror targets" across Gaza, including 735 concealed rocket launchers. Seventy percent of Israel's population lies within range of Hamas rocket attacks, the Israel Defense Forces said.
One airstrike targeted the house of the head of the Gaza police, Tayseer al-Batsh, and killed at least 18 people and injured 50, Palestinian security and medical sources told CNN on Sunday. The attack happened late Saturday.
Israel has used its Iron Dome defense system against many of the more than 800 rockets fired from Gaza into Israel, the military said. Two more were intercepted Sunday over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.
