Israel Kills Khaled Nabhan, Palestinian Man Who Mourned His Granddaughter Reem: "Soul of My Soul"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's unrelenting slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza continues. Early
this morning, a strike on the Nuseirat camp killed Palestinian
grandfather Khaled Nabhan, whose story was shared with millions around
the world last November after Israel murdered his grandchildren,
including 3-year-old Reem, whom Nabhan was filmed cradling while
repeating the words "the soul of my soul."

Separately, Israel bombed yet another U.N.-run school without warning,
killing at least 20 people in the Khan Younis shelter. At least 60
Palestinians have been killed over the past day of attacks, bringing the
official death toll of the genocide to more than 45,000 Palestinians,
though the true toll is certainly much higher.
