| Reports: Helicopter attacks building in Gaza Strip |
| 2004-02-16 |
| JPost - Reg Req’d Palestinian eyewitnesses said that Israeli warplanes fired missiles at a target in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday evening. Israel Radio reported that the explosion could have been a gas balloon explosion, although eyewitnesses did report missiles fired from a helicopter. WTF?? A gas balloon explosion? The incident took place in the Shakti refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip. Ambulances rushed to the scene. anticipatory building swarm coming - photos should make LGF Palestinians say that the incident was an assassination attempt on Islamic extremists. Channel 2 reported that the target was a building in the Makhousi neighborhood of Gaza City. According to the report, the target was either Hamas or Islamic Jihad. Israel last carried out a helicopter strike in Gaza City on February 7, killing Aziz al-Shami, an Islamic Jihad commander, and a 12-year-old bystander Hope this was a success too |

What next I wonder......I can just see it now...A bunch of Paleos in a hot air ballon cursing the infidels below....Have I completely lost it? Anyone? |

| #4 Don't be too hard on them Evert. When someone explained that, according to the laws of physics, their rampant and careless excavation was bound to collapse the wall sooner or later, their response was, "Phaugh! Don't speak to us about your decadant western laws! |
