In the last few minutes news has started filtering through of missiles and tank shells being used against a crowd of demonstrators. One local resident fears that up to 20 may have died, and news sources are reporting at least 8 deaths.
Yesterday 20 were killed including a 13 year boy and his 16 year old sister who went up to the roof to bring in their washing. The area that is currently occupied by IOF soldiers is not close enoughto the border with Egypt for 'tunnels' to be a plausible excuse.
This invasion looks sure to produce even more deaths and destruction than the invasion of Jenin in 2002.
Protests are being held daily at:
Israeli Embassy - Kensington High Street - 2 - 7 pm
and
Parliament Square - 6 - 10 pm.
Please attaend if you can - bring banners, whisltes etc
