Israel kills wheelchair-bound grandma

"Exactly what killed Salma Salman Qodaih may never be established. What is clear is that the 82-year-old wheelchair-bound grandmother died a solitary and terrifying death - trapped, alone and confined to bed while Israeli forces peppered her home and surrounding buildings with automatic gun fire and tank shells. As the Israeli army mostly held its fire during a seven-hour "humanitarian window" on Monday, it continued its bombardment of the south-eastern city of Rafah," (thanks Amir)
