Israeli Bombing Kills 4 Boys on Gaza Beach 
-------------------------------------------


 
The death toll in Gaza has reached at least 227, mostly civilians,
including around 50 children. One Israeli has died since the attack
began. On Wednesday, an Israeli gunboat shelled a beach, killing four
boys who were kicking around a soccer ball. The boys were all between
the ages of nine and 11 and from the same extended family. They were
killed as they ran away from an initial blast, suggesting they may have
been targeted intentionally.
