The Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip is now in its seventeenth day. The number of Palestinian casualties, mostly women and children, keeps rising. Several kids were among more than a dozen Palestinians who lost their lives in Israel's fresh attacks on the coastal enclave. The United Nations says one Palestinian child has been killed each hour in Gaza over the past couple of days. At least 695 Palestinians have been killed since Tel Aviv began pounding Gaza on July eight. More than 42-hundred others have also been injured since the beginning of the Israeli onslaught.
