Israel kills women at mosque siege

Two Palestinian women have been killed during a stand-off near a Gaza mosque while trying to rescue about 60 Palestinian fighters besieged inside.

The events came on the third day of an Israeli assault on the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, the largest operation Israel has conducted in the Gaza Strip in months.

On Friday, about 200 Palestinian women marched towards the al-Nasir mosque in Beit Hanoun, which Israeli forces surrounded on Thursday, in an attempt to rescue fighters who had taken shelter in the mosque during the Israeli incursion.

The women had responded to an appeal from Hamas broadcast on local radio stations.

Israeli forces opened fire on the women, killing two and injuring six others.

The Israeli army later confirmed that the fighters had managed to escape.


Brave women, nothing ever changes.
