Gaza: Israeli Airstrike Kills Pregnant Palestinian & Her Daughter 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Gaza, an Israeli airstrike killed a pregnant Palestinian woman and
her daughter Sunday, as Israeli soldiers also killed a 13-year-old
Palestinian boy in the West Bank. This comes amid escalating violence
across the region. Israeli soldiers shot and killed nine Palestinians
along the border with Gaza over the weekend, as well as two Palestinian
boys in the West Bank Friday. At least two Israelis have been killed and
more wounded over the last two weeks in a series of stabbings by
Palestinians. This comes after the fatal shooting of an Israeli couple
in the West Bank on October 1.
