Ramez Harb, a prominent field commander in al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, was martyred in the Israeli air raid that targeted Burj al-Shurouk in the city of Gaza tonight. Seven others were also injured. This is the second raid on Burj al-Shurouk that houses the offices of a number of media organizations. The raid led to a fire in the building while a number of journalists were trapped inside. Presenter, Female #1 As Israeli military operations against the Gaza Strip continue, the number of martyrs and injured is also increasing. However, in the past few days, a large number of these victims have been children. Reporter, Female #2 Jamal, Sara, Yusuf and Ibrahim. Tears and broken hearts bid farewell to the little children. They were martyred along with all members of their family in an Israeli raid that targeted their house in Gaza. The result was anger, sadness, and condemnation. Guest, Female #3 What is the sin of these little children? They are children, shame on them. What are the leaders of other countries doing? Shouldn't they be standing with us? Our little children can't sleep; our little children are terrified of death! Shame on them! Reporter, Female #2 The images of these children shook the millions who have been following the situation in Gaza. Guest, Male #1 My beloved father, my beloved father. Reporter, Female #2 In the last few days, the majority of the victims of the military operations against the Gaza Strip have been women and children. Guest, Male #2 (Dr. Hasan Khalaf, Undersecretary of the Department of Health in the Removed Government) In this barbaric aggression, Israel has so far killed 24 children, and 10 women, and 12 elderly people. It also injured 400 women and children. This a direct targeting and direct killing of children who were not carrying or firing rockets. They were in their houses. Reporter, Female #2 Whether Israel is targeting civilians, particularly children, as part of its escalation, or as means to pressure Hamas to accept a truce without preconditions, remains the most important issue for Palestinian and international human rights organizations. They view the killings as punishable crimes to which great interest is given, and in order to prevent Israel from targeting civilians again, documentation and legal follow-up are necessary. Guest, Male #3 (Hamdi Shakoura, Palestinian Center for Human Rights) The state of Israel and the occupation forces wouldn't have dared to go this far, and take action against children and civilians during this aggression, had the state of Israel been investigated and prosecuted for the crimes it previously committed against children and civilians during its last aggression on Gaza. Theses crimes went unpunished, which is what emboldened Israel to carry out more crimes against children and civilians. Reporter, Female #2 Palestinians are outraged at Israel's repeated targeting of children. They believe it is ignoring international law as the world condones its actions, while crimes are being committed against the children of Gaza.

One Aleppo surgeon says such shocking images have done nothing to spark the international community into action. "We have been living like for nearly two years. Nothing is being done," he said. Some of the young are left to scavenge the rubble, looking for anything that can sell on in return for food. Hussein, 15, says: "We have to survive, but I couldn't find any work. So I look in the rubbish for nylon, brass or metal to make some money to eat." Ahmad, 14, explains that he has younger siblings "and they need food too." The boys take the scrap metal and then melt it to down for cash to buy bread. They don't go to school anymore as most of Aleppo's schools are closed. Many of the city's residents are simply too impoverished to leave. They still hold out hope that the shelling will stop and they can return to the lives they once knew before the conflict began. http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-102212?start=984 <p>Thousands of Kuwaitis protest changes to electoral system, Lebanese army struggles to control Tripoli as gunmen roam streets, hundreds of Libyan families flee Bani Walid, and more.</p> Mon, 22 Oct 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-102212 Syria, Islamophobia, Muslim, 2011 Kuwait protests, Tripoli, Lebanon, Bab al-Tabbaneh–Jabal Mohsen clashes, Bani Walid, Al-Qaeda, Rohingya, Freedom of speech Recent civilian casualties in operations by US-led forces in Afghanistan have sparked new waves of anti-US protests in the war-torn country. http://news.linktv.org/videos/captured-syrian-pilot-didnt-know-he-was-bombing-civilians?start=0 A Syrian air force pilot shot down by rebels claims he had no idea that he was bombing civilians.
