B’Tselem: Deadly repression of Gaza protesters shows ‘appalling indifference to human life’

Israeli human rights NGO B’Tselem has strongly denounced the Israeli army’s devastating use of live fire in Gaza, which has killed at least 38 Palestinians so far today.
“Israel had plenty of time to come up with alternate approaches for dealing with the protests, apart from firing live ammunition,” the organisation said in a statement. “The fact that live gunfire is once again the sole measure that the Israeli military is using in the field evinces appalling indifference towards human life on the part of senior Israeli government and military officials.”
