| 11-month-old Omar al-Masharawi killed.... in Gaza City |
JERUSALEM (AP) — A U.N. report indicates an errant Palestinian rocket, not an Israeli airstrike, likely killed the baby of a BBC reporter during fighting in the Hamas-ruled territory last November.
The death of Omar al-Masharawi,
the 11-month-old son of BBC stringer Jihad al-Masharawi, became a
symbol of what Palestinians see as Israeli aggression during eight days
of fighting that killed more than 160 Palestinians and six Israelis. A
woman was killed alongside the baby.
Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes to stop Palestinian rocket salvos.
Hamas had no response Monday. BBC officials were not immediately available for comment.
