Gaza medics describe horror of strike which killed 70
Summary:

Reminiscent of the war crimes of the Wehrmacht, there have been reports of civilians being rounded up, collected together, and then killed, in areas occupied by the IDF. This is a confirmed report on just one such incident, perhaps the most deadly so far known, of the deliberate butchering of 70 civilians and later Israeli troops shooting at those who tried to rescue the survivors during the brief cease fire, so that at least some wounded had to be left to die. The BBC and New York Times are now reporting on additional war crimes in Zeitoun, this time confirmed by the International Red Cross.

Civilians rounded up and killed en masse

Mohammed Shaheen, a volunteer with Palestinian Red Crescent, was in the first convoy of ambulances to reach the site of the blast in Zeitoun since it was first occupied then shelled by the Israeli army.

His testimony confirmed accounts, first reported in The Telegraph, from survivors of the extended al Samouni clan who said they feared between 60 and 70 family members had been killed

Concerns had been growing that Zeitoun had witnessed massive civilian casualties after surviving members of the Samouni clan reached Gaza City three days ago.

They said that after the Israeli army first took the town on Saturday night soldiers had ordered about 100 members of the clan to gather in a single house owned by Wael Samouni around dawn on Sunday.

At 6.35am on Monday the house was repeatedly shelled with appalling loss of civilian life.
