Relentless raids leave Gaza reeling
By Alan Johnston
BBC News, Um al-Nasr, Gaza
More than 200 Palestinians in army raids have died since June
In a village in southern Gaza, an old Palestinian woman stood surveying the wreckage of her life, and her home - bulldozed by the Israeli army.
Subhiya Mouamr pointed out her family's store of flour strewn in the rubble, and the tent she now lives in.
"We sit here - between the earth and the sky - and we survive just on what the Red Cross brings us," Subhiya Mouamr said.
"They destroyed everything."
But on that night when the Israelis came late last week, Subhiya Mouamr lost even more than her home and all that she owned.
She also lost her son and her daughter-in-law.
What happened in the village of Um al-Nasr is typical of the nature of the Israeli offensive in Gaza - which is now going into its fourth month.
Suffering
Israeli soldiers had crossed the border and come hunting for Palestinian militants.
" I sat with the body of my daughter-in-law with my head in my hands until the early morning "
--Subhiya Mouamr
But in the course of their raid they inflicted much suffering on many civilians.
The army says that it went in to Um al-Nasr to capture what it calls terrorists.
A spokesman says that the troops came under fire from two buildings, and that they were consequently demolished.
It is the army's policy to destroy structures from which it says it is attacked.
The villagers say that about a dozen families in this poverty-stricken community were crammed into those buildings - and you find them now camped in the ruins.
Screaming at night
When the villagers gathered under a guava tree to tell their story, Subhiya Mouamr's son, Riziq sat among them.
He has a mental disability, and he does not hear or speak well.
His relatives say that the first they knew of the Israeli raid was the sound of Riziq screaming in the night.
His sister, Leila thought that a fight had broken out with the neighbours.
She said she rushed out to find Riziq being beaten by soldiers. Above his blackened eye a large plaster still covers a wound.
His family believes that Riziq may have lashed out at the troops.
"I asked them what they wanted with him - saying that he's sick," said Leila. "They told me to shut up."

Israeli strike kills two in Gaza
Two people have been killed in an Israeli missile strike in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian security officials say.
More than 230 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the end of June 2006.
About half of those killed were civilians or not taking part in any hostilities at the time of their death, Palestinian medics and an Israeli human rights group have said.
