The Israeli occupation army has ended its three-day Gestapo-like onslaught against the Namsawi and Gharbi refugee camps near Khan Younis in southern Gaza Strip, leaving a trail of death and destruction. Palestinian sources spoke of 11 Palestinians dead and as many as sixty injured, the vast bulk of them innocent civilians.The staggering death toll and casualties occurred mainly as a result of the random and wanton shelling by Israeli tanks and artillery of civilian homes in the two camps. Hospital sources said over half of the injured were children. The Nazi-like invasion of the camps also resulted in widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure. Local sources said that as many as 50 homes were destroyed or sustained irreparable damage, causing hundreds of civilians to flee their homes. Khan Younis mayor described the situation at the Namsawi and Gharbi refugee camps as "catastrophic." "This is Jewish Nazism in action, they were behaving like the Gestapo, the Israelis are the Nazis of our time...." The Israeli occupation army said the latest blitz in Khan Younis was aimed at preventing Palestinians resistance fighters from launching mortar fires onto nearby Jewish colonies, also known as settlements.
