A Dutchman honoured by Israel for hiding a Jewish child during World War Two has handed back his medal after six of his relatives were killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza.

Henk Zanoli, 91, wrote to the Israeli embassy in The Hague to say he could no longer hold the honour.

He said an Israeli F-16 had destroyed his great-niece's home in Gaza, killing all inside, in the recent offensive.

The Israeli embassy has declined to comment on Mr Zanoli's action.

I don't blame him. That's horrific.

That's terrible. The more I hear about the Gaza conflict the less hopeful I become of there ever being a peaceful solution. The worst part of it all there is nothing we can really do but watch.
