U.N. Says Israeli Troops Summarily Executed Palestinians in Gaza City
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations Human Rights Office says it has received "disturbing"
information about a summary execution of Palestinians by Israeli forces
in Gaza City on Tuesday. The U.N. agency reports that during a raid on a
building in the Al Remal neighborhood, Israeli soldiers allegedly
separated a group of men from women and children and then shot and
killed at least 11 of the men in front of their family members. Soldiers
then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room and either
shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, seriously injuring some
of them, including an infant and a child.
