A Lutheran Holy Land leader has lambasted Israeli military officials for the killing of 18 Palestinian civilians in Gaza, describing it as "indiscriminate regard for human life". This week, Israeli tank shells ripped through a residential neighbourhood in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun, killing 18 members of an extended family, including 10 children. "This incident is only part of a week-long military campaign that killed 80 Palestinians and kept a city of 30 000 under siege and in terror," Bishop Munib Younan, head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, said in a pastoral letter.
