Jabalia, Gaza—The lifeless body of 4-year-old Yasmeen al-Motawaq is carried by her uncle during her funeral on July 10. Hospital officials say she was killed in an Israeli airstrike, making her one of a reported 169 (and counting) Palestinians to have died as the latest conflict between Hamas and Israel escalates. This latest cycle of violence began with the murder of three Israeli teens (for which Israel has blamed Hamas), followed by the revenge killing of a 16-year-old Palestinian, who was burned alive by Orthodox radicals. Since then, Israel has bombed Gaza, targeting a mosque and even a center for the disabled, while Hamas has fired countless rockets at Israeli cities and settlements. Speaking on Face the Nation on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas purposely puts civilians near rocket launching sites, “so naturally they’re responsible for all the civilian deaths that occur accidentally.”
