Heinous crime by Israeli officer against 13 year old girl, fresh aggression

Israeli soldiers disclosed that an officer in the Zionist Army has sprayed the dead body of a l3-year old Palestinian girl, Iman Al-Hams.

The girl was killed by Israeli outpost fire when she was heading to school.

The soldiers claimed that they feared the girl's school bag contained explosives.

After she was shot dead, the officer neared the body, shot her in the head and discharged the magazine of his automatic gun into her lean body.

A Palestinian medical source at Rafah hospital said that the little girl received 20 bullets all over her body, especially the head and chest.

On the other part, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ordered the military operations to continue in Gaza, disregarding his top military aides' advice that "military operations have achieved their goals in Gaza and must stop."

Israeli sources said yesterday that the Israeli Knesset is expected to debate the stoppage of operations in Gaza that started September 28.

The Knesset will also consider the Israeli plan on unilateral withdrawal form Gaza Strip, the sources added.

Israeli Labor Party Chief Shimon Peres has earlier said that his party aims to sack Sharon's cabinet during the upcoming Knesset session on Gaza withdrawal.
