Light flares explode over head. Palestinians turned jovial on Sunday evening as word spread that Hamas' armed wing in Gaza, the Izzedine Al-Qassam brigades claimed to have captured a soldier by the name of Oron Shaul. Hamas' Izzedine Al-Qassam spokesman, Abu Obeida aired live on Palestinian television to deliver the news. Sunday evening, hours after Palestinians learnt that over 100 Palestinians had been killed in Gaza's Shujaiyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, hundreds of enraged Palestinians took to the streets of Bethlehem to protest what many are calling a massacre on Gaza's people. On Sunday alone, 100 people were killed in Gaza, the bloodiest day since the start of Operation Protective Edge. Late Sunday, the death toll in Gaza reached 437, with over 3000 injured. Most of those killed in Al Shujaiyya were civilians. Israel also announced Sunday that 18 soldiers have died thus far, including two American citizens. (Photo by Anna Ferensowicz / Pacific Press)
