Israeli drone attacks Hamas militants
2005-06-08
GAZA, June 8 (UPI) -- An Israeli drone attacked a car carrying Hamas militants near Khan Yunis in southern Gaza Wednesday in the latest escalation in Middle East violence. Witnesses said three militants managed to get out of the car before it was struck by two rockets, turning the vehicle into a wreck of charred, twisted metal.
"Missed them by that much"

The three militants were members of Hamas' military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades. Israel confirmed the attack and said the plane targeted and destroyed launchers used by militants to fire mortars at Israel.
Violence has been escalating alarmingly in the past few days jeopardizing an unofficial Middle East truce declared last February.

#2  Jest send out your chiefs and surrender;
in person or call us by phone.
You can drive a carpool,
If you do you're a fool,
'cause you can't get away from the drones.

Jest send out your chiefs an' surrender
if not we will powder your bones
you can turn on your cell,
then you'll end up in hell,
'Cause you can't get away from the drones

Well what's expected when a truce is called?

Plain and simple, a truce != permanent_cessation_of_hostilities and can break down at any time, expecially where violence-prone idiots like the Paleos are involved.
