The Israeli public has caught a glimpse into the agony of war, as a popular Palestinian doctor loses his daughters to Israeli shelling.

An unmoved Israeli public on Friday night witnessed the desperate cries of Izz el-Deen Aboul Aish, a Palestinian gynecologist living in Gaza.

"My girls, oh god, they've killed my girls," Aboul Aish, who previous to Tel Aviv's offensive inside the Gaza slither had worked at the Tel Hashomer medical center in Israel, screamed frantically in Hebrew.

The Palestinian doctor made the comments during a live broadcast.

"My girls were sitting at home planning their futures, talking, then suddenly they are being shelled," he said. "I want to know why they were killed, who gave the order?"

"This should haunt [Israeli Prime Minister Ehud] Olmert his entire life," the doctor shouted.

Reports indicate that Three girls of the doctor's eight children had died in the Israeli attack. Al-Aish and two other of his children were injured.

Gazan officials have announced the death of Abu al-Aish's three daughters as Bisan, 22; Mayer, 15; and Aya, 14.

His niece was Nour Abu al-Aish, 14 was also killed in the attack.

The Israeli army says they had targeted a sniper firing from the family's building.

'They fired hugs and love and peace, nothing else was fired,' the doctor said about his deceased daughters later in a phone interview with Israeli TV.

Two of the daughters have been transferred to Israel's Tel Hashomer hospital in Tel Aviv, something that has been extremely rare in the past three weeks.

Israel has so far strictly restricted journalist's access to the besieged strip, even arresting some for violating Tel Aviv's censorship rules.

There have also been reports of demonstrations in Washington against the censorship of the Israeli atrocities in Gaza in the US media.

"They have basically carried out the recommendations of the Winograd report that was issued after their war in Lebanon in 2006, one of which was you have to control the media. You have to make sure that you manipulate data, control images," Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi told Democracy Now on Friday.

Israel fought a 33-day war against Hezbollah in the summer of 2006 to destroy the military power of the Lebanese resistance.

The Winograd report in January 2008, blamed the lack of proper leadership and coordination for Israel's humiliating defeat against Hezbollah in its 33-day war against Lebanon.
