Israeli forces kill at least 18 Palestinians

ISRAELI forces killed at least 18 Palestinians today, including four people sheltering in a tent camp inside a hospital complex in Gaza.
This comes as two people were killed during a stabbing incident in a Tel Aviv suburb.
Tensions have soared following nearly 10 months of war in Gaza and the assassinations, widely blamed on Israel, of a Hamas leader in Iran and a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon within 12 hours of each other last week.
