Palestinian youth in Gaza confront an Israeli army bulldozer (above right). In March, Tel Aviv’s army carried out almost daily assaults in Gaza, killing 99 Palestinians throughout the occupied territories. The daily bloodletting continued in early April as Israeli helicopter gunships launched missiles on a busy Gaza street, killing five and injuring at least 50. Two activists of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), supporting the Palestinian struggle, were also shot by Israeli Defense Forces. Thomas Hurndall, 21, from London, was shot and killed April 11 by an Israeli sniper. Brian Avery (above left), from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was shot in the face and seriously injured by a shell fired from an Israeli tank April 5 in Jenin, West Bank. Rachel Corrie, the first ISM member to be killed by Israeli troops, was crushed to death by an IDF bulldozer March 16 near Rafah, Gaza Strip.
