>>Normally, Beit Lahiya uses the graveyard
at the nearby Jebaliya refugee camp. But since
Israeli tanks and infantry surrounded the town Wednesday
in a mission to stop Palestinian rocket fire,
even the dead have nowhere to go.

>>Troops destroyed homes, demolished factories
and even a kindergarten. Other residents in the area
have no water and electricity, and the sick have trouble
getting their medication.

>>Nearly 60 Palestinians have been killed in the fighting.
On Sunday, volunteers in Beit Lahiya cleared rocks and weeds
to make space for 33 bodies in the town's small cemetery.

>>Early Sunday, more than 35 tanks and five bulldozers
moved briefly into the eastern part of the Tel al-Zatar area,
northeast of Jebaliya, and bulldozers razed at least
seven houses, two factories and a kindergarten, residents said.<<

What a tragedy! No wonder many people are turning against Israel.
