SIR- The situation with regard to civilian injury and deaths in Gaza is more complicated than even Mr Murphy’s letter of August 19.
When Israel warns people in sites which they want to destroy by leaflets dropped from planes, telephone messages and Radio Hamas representatives forbid those people to leave because they don’t want them to appear to be taking orders from Israel, thus condemning those inhabitants to extreme danger, there is bound to be high casualties.
Those who condemn Israel for their actions need also to state how she needs to defend herself if not by trying to destroy launching sites and tunnels.
