A Palestinian man waits for news about a wounded relative outside Gaza City's al-Shifa hospital on January 5, 2009 while battles between Israeli soldiers and Hamas fighters continue in Gaza. Israeli strikes on Gaza killed another 14 Palestinians, including five children, today, the tenth day of Israel's massive offensive on the Hamas-run enclave, medics said. At least 517 Palestinians, including 87 children, have been killed and more than 2,500 wounded since Israel unleashed its "Operation Cast Lead" on December 27. Three civilians and one soldier have been killed by rockets fired from Gaza during the same time. |
