This is a terrible story, one of the saddest because he is a very well-respected man on both sides of the border and could be a powerful voice for peace within Gaza. Now he is a symbol of how ruthless the IDF is. These innocent girls are only a handful of the peaceful civilians slaughtered in this massacre. It is hard to see how these people could ever forgive Israel. The next time you see the youth throwing stones or joining Hamas and wonder why they are so violently against Israel, think about what peacefulness has cost this family.

Thanks for the link, the video is even more terrifying. It's really really sad story.. Now it makes me wonder, if it wasn't a famous doctor with a good ties with Israeli and western media and officials, probably people would have claimed that his house was just another terrorist hide out.
