Israeli
snipers and airstrikes killed eight Palestinians during Friday and
Saturday amid a sharp escalation of violence in the days leading up
to the Eurovision Song Contest, which Israel hopes to use as a
propaganda showcase.
On
Saturday evening, the health ministry in Gaza announced the death of
14-month old Saba Mahmoud Abu Arar after an Israeli airstrike hit her
family’s home east of Gaza City.
Later
that evening, the health ministry announced that the child’s
pregnant mother, Filastin Salih Abu Arar, 37, died from injuries in
the same attack.
Another
child in the home was moderately injured, according to the health
ministry.
An
Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza killed Muhammad Hilmi Abu Qleiq,
25, Saturday evening.
Some
40 people have been injured in the ongoing Israeli attacks.
Explosions
from Israeli airstrikes continued to reverberate through Gaza as
night fell on Saturday, with no sign of an end to two days of
escalating violence.
