An 18-month old girl in Khan Younis was shot in the head during a "family dispute," seriously injuring her.

The PA quasi government is gearing up to celebrate Nakba Day on May 14, the anniversary of something or other. It is interesting that they never commemorate the anniversary of Jordan's annexation of the West Bank.
