Father Says Israeli Troops Fatally Shot Daughters
-------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile, grieving Palestinians continue to provide accounts of Israeli
killings of innocent civilians. A Palestinian father told The
Independent of London two of his daughters were shot dead and another
critically wounded when Israeli troops opened fire. The father, Khaled
Abed Rabbo, says his family was obeying an Israeli order to abandon
their home, when a soldier fired from an Israeli tank. Two-year-old Amal
and seven-year-old Suad were killed. The third daughter, four-year-old
Samer, has been flown to a Belgian hospital with critical spinal wounds.
Adeb Rabbo’s home was also nearly completely destroyed during Israel’s
attack.
