Invazia din Gaza. Operatiunea "Oferet Yetzukah": zeci de palestinieni ucisi in prima zi a incursiunii armate. Demonstratii anti-israeliene in Europa


Dozens of Palestinians reportedly killed by Israeli shells
04/01/08 13:17 CET
Latest reports coming out of Gaza City say Israeli tanks shells have exploded in the middle of a shopping area. Palestinian medics say at least five civilians are dead, and scores more wounded. And at least 12 Palestinians – most of them civilians – have been killed by Israeli tank shells at Beit Lahiya in the north of the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian medical staff and witnesses.
Israeli armoured columns moved into the Gaza Strip in several waves. The main push was from the northeast, aimed at stopping Hamas rocket attacks on southern Israel. With fierce exchanges reported around Gaza City, the Strip is virtually split in half. Hamas claims to have killed five Israeli soldiers, and reports on Gaza radio and TV said two Israeli soldiers had been kidnapped – reports which have yet to be official confirmed by either side. Both sides have sustained casualties. Israel said 30 of its troops were injured overnight. In all, the Palestinian death toll is approaching 500, with more than 2,300 wounded.

Big anti-Israeli demonstrations in Europe
Demonstrations against the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip have continued in major cities throughout Europe. In London, up to 12,000 people marched to show their disapproval. The musician Annie Lennox was one recognisable face in the crowd, adding her voice to the calls for Israel to stop its bombardments.
As they marched from the River Thames towards Trafalgar Square some protestors threw shoes at the gates of Downing Street, giving the Prime Minister Gordon Brown the same angry gesture which met President Bush in Baghdad recently.
In Germany, several cities saw demonstrations. Police in Dusseldorf said 4,000 marched there. At least 1500 turned out in Amsterdam, and in Madrid, more than a thousand people marched after a rally outside the Spanish Foreign ministry.
Up to 25,000 marchers hit the streets of Paris to demonstrate against Israel’s actions. Organisers said it was to show solidarity with the Palestinian people, accusing the international community of hypocrisy. A few hundred protestors broke away from the main march and tried to approach the Israeli embassy, but were held back by banks of riot police.
