Continuing War Crimes
While the world focused on Lebanon, the Israeli government inflicted
more suffering on Palestine, especially in Gaza. July was the
deadliest month since October 2004. The percentage of deaths rose 222%
from the month before, injuries over 200%. The Palestinian Monitoring
Group reports at least 151 people were killed between June 25, when an
Israeli soldier was kidnapped, and August 8. Of these, 138 were
civilians and about 45 children. This surge compares with the former
highest monthly total of 166 in October 2004. Other sources, including
the PLO, put the total closer to 200.
