| Israel Retaliates in Gaza | |
| 2004-03-14 | |
A loud explosion rocked Gaza City early Monday, and residents said they believed it was an Israeli air strike. Palestinian ambulances raced to a site in the northern part of the city, in the Sheik Radwan neighborhood, residents said. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. Residents said Israeli attack helicopters were flying over the area before the explosion. The blast came a few hours after two Palestinian suicide bombers blew themselves up at the Israeli port of Ashdod, killing 11 Israelis.

| #3 Why do they even bother with this pinprick stuff? The Europeans and the Leftists always scream like Israel let fly with an eight hour Corps-level bombardment of the Paleo slums, so they aught to just do that anyway. Right when all the celebrations for the latest murder-bombings begin. |

| #1 Ha'aretz: "Israeli attack helicopters fired at least 10 missiles at a metal foundry and other targets around Gaza City early on Monday, Palestinian witnesses said It was not known what other targets were hit and there were no immediate reports of casualties in the early morning air strikes, which came hours after two Gaza suicide bombers killed 10 people at Israel's port of Ashdod. Much of northern Gaza was plunged into darkness as the missiles knocked out electricity supplies. The morning strike knocked out electricity to much of the northern Gaza Strip. The Israel Defense Forces did not immediately comment. But Israeli security sources said Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had convened top brass late on Sunday night to decide on retaliation for the Ashdod attack, which was jointly claimed by Hamas and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of PA Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement." Nothing on JPost yet. Wishful thinking? If a bigwig was nailed, the terrorists wouldn't be out announcing it ASAP |
