8 Children Killed in Gaza While Playing on Swings 
--------------------------------------------------


 
Among those killed Monday were 10 people, including eight children, who
died in an explosion in a park near the beach in the Shati refugee camp
in Gaza City. Israel denied responsibility, but eyewitnesses said the
explosion came from an Israeli airstrike. An aunt of one of the victims
said five of the children killed were from the same family.

Faiza Abu Amira: "Our young children were playing on the swings when a
rocket hit them and tore them apart on the floor, five children from the
same family. All of them died, one of them my nephew. What does Israel
want from us for it to do this to our children?"
