GAZA CITY—Almost a third of the 689 Palestinians killed in Israel's Gaza offensive are children, with most killed since the start of a ground offensive after a week of aerial bombardments, medics said Wednesday.
The proportion of civilians killed has risen dramatically since ground troops on Saturday joined the assault on the Hamas rulers of Gaza after a week of aerial and naval bombardments.
A total of 220 children have been killed since Operation Cast Lead was unleashed on December 27, according to Gaza emergency services chief Moawiya Hassanein."
