Israel is using GPS locators to sent immediate responses to the Hamas rocket fire, which is now working so well thatthese guys can not get on their motorcycles fast enough to avoid being killed. There next move will be to induce little boys and girls who love God to think they do God a service giving their own lives to fire those rockets.
At least 15 Palestinians have been killed and a dozen others wounded, including children, in a series of Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources have said. A Palestinian riding a motorcycle was killed and two others were wounded in an Israeli air raid close to the southern town of Rafah near the border with Egypt on Saturday afternoon. Two men also on a motorbike were killed earlier the same day in another raid on the town of Khan Yunis, medics said In a statement on Saturday, the Israeli army said: The targeting is in direct response to the rocket fire at Israeli communities in southern Israel. "Over the past 24 hours, over 45 rockets have hit communities in southern Israel- injuring four people, one severely, one moderately and two lightly." An airstrike late on Friday struck down three Palestinians after an Apache helicopter fired rockets that hit a house and a car, medics told Al Jazeera. An earlier strike targeted the leader of Popular Resistance Committees, Zuhair Al-Qaissi, and his military escort Mahmoud Al-Hannani, a Palestinian prisoner released from Israeli jails five years ago. Witnesses said Israeli drones were seen hovering above just moments before al-Qaissi's vehicle burst into flames. The intensity of the blast was so fierce that al-Qaissi's head detached as a result, they said. Al Jazeeras Paul Brennan, reporting from Jerusalem, said: "The Israeli army is saying these two people it targeted with its clinical airstrike on Friday night were senior militants who were plotting an attack. "The Israeli army says that last years attack on the road that runs alongside the Egyptian border, where eight people were killed and 25 Israeli soldiers were wounded, was masterminded by the two men they targeted. "Zuhair Al-Qaissi and Mahmoud Al-Hannani were said to have been behind these attacks, and the Israeli army said that these two men were planning a similar attack and that is why they launched their aerial clinical attack." Islamic Jihad said that the three of those killed belonged to its military wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, looking to end Israels occupation of annexed Palestinian lands. The Al-Quds Brigades, part of the Islamic Jihad group, said that strikes on the east side of the city had killed its members Obeid al-Gharabli, Mohammed Harara, Hazem Qoureqa and Shadi Seqali. It said that another two of its members, Fayeq Saad and Moatasem Hajaj, were also killed in other strikes. In addition to the high profile strike, Israeli war jets carried out series of attacks at empty military training camps all over the Gaza Strip. The Israeli attacks came after Palestinians fired dozens of rockets and mortar rounds into southern Israel, wounding four people, one seriously, Israeli military sources claimed. Circle of violence The Palestinian Authority condemned the strikes, saying it had created a "negative environment" that would "escalate the circle of violence in the region," according to a statement released by the official Palestinian WAFA news agency. The Israeli military said in a statement that Qaisi "was among the leaders who planned, funded and directed" a deadly cross-border attack into southern Israel from Egypt's Sinai last August. The statement added that both the dead men were "responsible for planning a combined terror attack that was to take place via Sinai in the coming days."It said that other strikes were aimed at men about to fire rockets into Israel. Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, has maintained a tacit truce with Israel, but other armed Palestinian groups regularly fire rockets and mortars across the border, which can spark air strikes in response. "The recent Zionist escalation is an unjustified crime, it comes as a part of the destabilisation of a stable security situation in the Gaza Strip" the Hamas-run Gaza government's interior ministry said in a statement. "We hold the international community fully responsible for the attacks." Before Friday's airstrikes, Israeli army radio quoted what it called "senior military sources" as saying the army "does not intend to allow the firing to continue."
Hamas has nothing to do with it. The initial one or two firings were likely some retaliation for Zionist criminality. The Zionists used that as an excuse for yet another political assassination. Their brutality will be recorded .
Gaza full of factions who want to see dead invaders. Pointing at Hamas is simply convenient for pro-Zionists .
"Zuhair Al-Qaissi and Mahmoud Al-Hannani were said to have been behind these attacks, and the Israeli army said that these two men were planning a similar attack and that is why they launched their aerial clinical attack." Whoever they are.. they don't care who in Gaza is dying as a result of retaliation.. and they are doing their best to deflect pressure to get Israel to the peace table.
We don't want to hear the word 'likely' or anything of the sort. We want facts. Not biased and pointless speculation. Posted via Mobile Device
Well, you'd best keep up with the latest Zionist terrorism then, hadn't you. http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/146463-weeks-israeli-terrorism-18.html Perhaps the initial mortars were in response to last week's killing of Palestinian children, or the uprooting of more olive groves by crazed squatters.
Can you at least attempt to sound a little less extreme? And don't pretend to understand the roots of all of this. Because you don't, and I don't. Nor does Netanyahu or all of Palestine. What matters is what crap people want to sling around now. If you truly must make the same mistakes your ancestors have made, feel free. Get more of your people killed and proceed to spread violence, hatred, and confusion throughout the world. Your language tells me all I need to know. Nowhere in your mind do you hope for peace or compromise. The very use of the word "Zionism" on your behalf shows your ignorance to any practical solution. You don't want to support the progress of humanity, you only seek to rally support against those you hate. But, what am I saying... for as long as you continue to choose the path you've chosen, you'll be blind to the true meaning of your own human emotions and morals. Nothing I or anyone can do would be able to turn the middle east away from their path to destruction, but I'll nevertheless keep doing my best to understand why that is. And that's all you or I can do.
This was a military assassination of scumbags. If the initial one or two firing were likely in retaliation for some zioniist criminality, what were the other 43 firings about? As for recording their brutality, other than the perps dying that's about all the PRC and the "palestinians can do no wrong" crowd can do.
HUH ? what the fak are you talking abt ? Pls explain - what the fak has George 6 got to do with Palestine ? Oh ! dont bother - I 've just noticed you're an american - which explains yr ignorance. ) LOL ...
No problem. I'll be sure to iterate them as personal observations. And, yes, you have made your allegiance very clear. Posted via Mobile Device
No problem at all. Just wanted to make sure that everyone understood that these morons follow the einstien's definition of insanity. They just can't seem to get it thru their thick skulls that launching rockets means retaliation. Unless of course the actually want the retaliation to happen so they can keep sacrificing their own people. If I am a zionist bootlicker, does that make you an Islamist penis licker?
So keep pushing them and killing them... keep taking the land and the water until all of Palestine is free of Arabs. What did Hitler call it? Oh yes.... Judenfrei ...
Is it not so that Israel fired the first shots in this instance? Why is it so that the hated Semites are insulted and condemned whenever Israel murders them? Normally, one argues that people have the right to defend themselves. What happened to that argument?
Personally, I am glad that these types of discussions are brought up here and there, and I generally read them. However, what I am noticing is that people are too closely bonded to their biases, which any intellectual would know is detrimental to true knowledge. The fact of the matter remains, 'terrorist attacks' and 'counterterrorist attacks' are occurring in Israel, and people related to the events, and not, are dying as a result. That unfortunately is the nature of War. However, instead of the incessant back-and-forth squabbling, and often name-calling and other pointless dialogue that is exchanged, shouldn't it be in our collective best interests to devise solutions, rather than more problems? We should all at least care about the innocent people that have died simply because of their geographical positioning. But I do think that we, the small people, are capable enough to come to some type of discernable agreement about the problems in Israel, and their solutions.
Seriously margot? you really beleive that it is legitimate to compare the final solution to the Israeli occupation? Remind me where the sonderkommando are, where the starving disease ridden millions are, the ovens, the gas chambers, the slave labor, the yellow stars. Show us all the pictures of the gazan concentration camp along side Auschwitz so we can objectively compare them. I did not expect you to vomit such ignorant nonsense.
