Bombings of Gaza Civilian Targets Include Center for Disabled 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
In addition to bombing homes, Israel has carried out a number of attacks
on Gaza's civilian infrastructure. The Palestinian Center for Human
Rights says the targets have included "charities, parks, sport clubs,
and a mosque." On Saturday, two women were killed and four others were
critically wounded when an Israeli missile struck a center for the
disabled.

Medical worker: "These are the targets of [Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin] Netanyahu. These are remains of children. These are dolls for
children. These are the targets of Bibi Netanyahu. These are the targets
of the Jews. They are children in an organization for the disabled."

The Israeli military says it fired a warning rocket to alert the
center's disabled residents of an impending bombing. But the center's
director told The New York Times that no one understood the warning, and
that residents were "too handicapped to have fled the building on their
own in any case."
