Israeli Strikes in Gaza Kill Several Palestinians Over the Weekend
------------------------------------------------------------------

In Gaza, Israeli strikes in Gaza City on Saturday killed at least nine
Palestinians, including three children, according to local health
officials. Separately, an Israeli attack on a tent sheltering displaced
families in southern Gaza killed at least one Palestinian and wounded
several others on Sunday night. This is Huda al-Lahham, whose building
was destroyed in an Israeli strike.

Huda al-Lahham: "Our message to the world is to stop this war on us. We
can't stand it. We don't have anything. We can't find food to eat. Why
are they doing this? We haven't done anything. We were staying safely in
our homes. We want to eat. We want to live like everyone else."

Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,100 Palestinians in Gaza since
October, when Israel agreed to a U.S.-brokered so-called ceasefire.
