Israel Kills a 4-Month-Young
Palestinian Infant in Gaza
May 7, 2001
A Palestinian Baby Infant (4-Month-Old) was killed and dozens of other
Palestinians were injured by Israeli fire in Gaza and the West Bank after Israel
rejected American ideas for ending seven months of violence.
Medical officials said the four-month-old
Palestinian girl, Iman Hajo, died as Israeli forces shelled Khan Younis town and
refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip.
"Shrapnel went into her abdomen and came out
of her back," a doctor at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said.
The baby's mother Suzanne Hajo, was seriously
wounded when Israel destroyed their house in the attack, which also resulted in 24
more injuries.
While pregnant woman Iman Sahlol (22),
miscarried as a result of the shelling.
