Grief, anger for 71 children killed

Karin Laub and Yousur Alhlou, Associated Press

Transcribed from the clipping

Sobbing and shaking, Ismail Abu Musallam leaned against the wall of a hospital Friday, waiting for three of his children to be prepared for burial. They were killed as they slept when an Israeli tank shell hit their home, burying 11-year-old Ahmed, 14-year-old Walaa and 16-year-old Mohammed under debris in their beds. His personal tragedy is not unique: the U.N. says minors make up one-fifth of the 299 Palestinians killed in 11 days.
