2 Palestinians Wounded in Israeli Attack on Gaza Shore
------------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile, in the Occupied Territories, the toll from Israel’s
three-week assault on the Gaza Strip continues to rise as more bodies
are found beneath the rubble of destroyed homes and buildings. More than
100 corpses have been recovered since Israel declared a ceasefire on
Saturday. Despite the official ceasefire, Israeli gunboats continue to
shell areas of Gaza. Earlier today, a Palestinian man and girl were
wounded when an Israeli gunboat shelled the shores of Gaza City. The
Israeli military said it opened fire to fend off a Palestinian fishing
boat that it says went too far offshore.
