Barak: Hamas liable for death of Gaza physician's daughters
Defense Minister Ehud Barak spoke Thursday of the Gaza offensive incident which resulted in the killing of Gaza physician Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish's three daughters, and said it is "a regrettable and painful event, but that can happen when war takes place in densely populated areas.
"The responsibility is Hamas', under international law as well," he said, adding that the "results of Operation Cast Lead may haste the decision making process in Gilad Shalit's case… We are bound to make some hard decision in order to get him home. I believe the government will be able to do so." (Attila Somfalvi)
