| IDF whacks Gaza |
| 2002-06-19 |
| Israeli helicopters began attacking targets in the Gaza Strip Wednesday night less than three hours after a homicide bomber killed seven people in Jerusalem. The strikes began shortly after a Palestinian suicide bomber detonated himself at a bus stop in Jerusalem, killing seven others in the second such attack in the city in two days. The helicopters struck a metal workshop in Khan Yunis as well as points in Jebaliya refugee camp just north of Gaza City and the Gaza City neighborhood of Zeitun. Israel has often said that places like metal workshops are used to manufacture bombs and other weapons used by Palestinian militants in attacks on Israelis. On Wednesday night, ambulances streamed into the streets of Jebaliya camp, the largest refugee camp in the Palestinian territories, where at least one building was damaged. It'll make sense if they're targeting the Hamas Bigs like Sheikh Yassin. Otherwise it's just expending ammunition. |
