The Israeli air raids on the besieged Gaza Strip continue for the 2nd day leaving at least 15 Palestinians dead, including children and elderly and members of Palestinian armed resistance groups. Israel says its attack is targeting Islamic Jihad fighters and infrastructure.
Residents of the Gaza Strip, 73% of whom are refugees from ethnically cleansed towns in southern Palestine/Israel, have been living under a strict Israeli siege since 2006. Since 1948, refugees' right of return to their towns of origin has been denied by the Israeli state in favor of Israeli settlers.
