Israeli soldier shot school girl 20 times

`Eyewitnesses said 12-year-old Iman al Hums and two other girls were wearing school uniforms when Israeli troops opened fire on them in Rafah at the southern edge of the Gaza Strip.

An Israeli army spokesman said the girl entered a closed area and had to be killed.

The same spokesman said soldiers thought the girl was carrying a bomb on her back, prompting them to shoot and kill here.’
