""The Israeli occupation deepened the suffering of Palestinian women and kidnapped the rights of children. They don't give a damn if it is March 8 or 9; everyday is the same," Um Yehia said as she patted at her son's head. In the same room, Um Ali Faraj, a neighbor of Um Yehia, was sitting beside the bed of her son who was wounded in the same strike. But Um Ali left three of her children at their grandfather's house and brought the youngest three along to the hospital. "I dare not leave them alone at the house because the danger of death is always renewed by the missiles, projectiles and the tank incursions," she said. Hedaya Shamoun, a women's rights activist, said the agendas to mark the Women's Day in Gaza have been interrupted because of last week's Israeli invasion in southeast Gaza Strip and the airstrikes, which killed more than 125 Palestinians. "Activities to mark this occasion are fading year by year," Shamoun lamented. "The killing of seven women in the latest army operation paints a grim picture on the occasion."
