Nobel winners petition Israel to outlaw targeted killing Mon Nov 13, 1:10 PM ET
JERUSALEM (AFP) - Hundreds of Israeli peace activists, joined by three foreign Nobel laureates, asked the nation's high court to rule against targeted assassinations carried out by the army in the Palestinian territories, saying the attacks were killing civilians.
The petition, signed by 10 peace groups and 200 individuals, urged the supreme court to rule immediately on the issue in light of last week's Israeli fire in Gaza's Beit Hanun that killed 19 people, mostly women and children.
"How many more children need to die before the high court judges rule on the matter," it said.
"If a ruling is not handed down immediately, this will cause the deaths of more innocent people, as was the case several days ago in Beit Hanun," a town in northern Gaza, it said.
