Israeli troops, tanks and aircraft targeted Gaza Saturday, killing 50
Palestinians in the deadliest day of fighting in Gaza since June.
Palestinians leaders called the killings "genocide" and threatened to
call off peace talks with Israel. Not all of the Gazans killed on
Saturday were immediately identified, but at least 13 militants and 17
civilians died. The civilians included two unidentified children, a
17-year-old girl and her 16-year-old brother, a 45-year-old man and his
20-year-old son, and two sisters thought to be in their early 20s.
The sisters and another civilian were killed by tank shells that struck
two houses in separate attacks in Jebaliya, Palestinian officials said.
