to the massacre as new civilians target are hit

Ramallah, 15-01-09: On the 20th of attacks, Israel has intensified its military campaign by striking over 70 targets throughout the night.

Today’s targets shows that no one is safe from the onslaught be they civilian, humanitarian worker or journalist.

Israeli forces have surrounded the Al-Aqsa Hospital, and refused to allow health workers or the wounded to either get in or out. Another hospital, Al Quds hospital -operated by the Red Crescent- caught fire when it came under Israeli shelling. An severe explosion is now feared due to the fuel stored in the hospital’s warehouse.

The Palestinian Medical Relief Society staff in Gaza has been forced to abandon their offices and care centers as the Israeli army inches to within only a few hundred meters.

Though Israel denies using the controversial weapon despite growing evidence, UNRWA officials report that their installations were struck this morning by White Phosphorous injuring 3 people and causing extensive damage.

The onslaught against local and international media has continued as well. This morning the offices of a number of media organizations (Reuters, Abu Dhabi TV) were struck by an Israeli shell, injuring 2 and further curbing press coverage of events on the ground.
