The situation gets even worse, including an atrocity, which Bisharat had referred to, reminiscent of My Lai, when he wrote, “Israeli artillery killed more than 20 members of the Samouni family, who had sought shelter in a structure … at the bidding of Israeli soldiers,” except that it is not clear whether the structure was their own home or another, and also “at the bidding” is too polite; many more had died, and had been knowingly forced into the house for that purpose. The account begins with round-ups and deprivations:Access to Zaytoun … remained highly restricted Thursday. Red Cross and Red Crescent crews were allowed back to the site during another three-hour break in the fighting, evacuating 103 people who had been trapped for days without food and water …. Other relief officials said the people rescued Thursday were crammed inside a handful of houses on the same block as the Samounis’ house. Two surviving members of the Samouni family said dozens of their relatives in the area had been rounded up by the Israeli military early Sunday and ordered to stay inside a handful of houses while soldiers conducted operations door-to-door. They said some people died in the shelling, which left a gaping hole in the roof of the Samouni home.
