The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued its attacks on Gaza for the fourth day.
Today, it was confirmed that the IOF started to use the ‘roof-knocking’ tactic in attacking houses in Gaza.
This tactic means that Israeli warplanes fire a rocket or more to pierce the roof of a house and then fire larger bombs or missiles at the houses after a few minutes.
This tactic killed dozens of Palestinian civilians during Israel’s aggression in Gaza in the winter of 2008/09, and was condemned by international community.
Meanwhile, by the time of issuing this press release, Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights verified the killing of 44 Palestinians in IOF attacks on Gaza.
Among the casualties were six children and three women.
Atleast another 452 people were injured; 143 of whom were children and 74 women.
