Israeli jet hits disused Gaza airport
2010-03-20
[Iran Press TV Latest] Fourteen Palestinians have been wounded after an Israeli warplane struck a disused airport in southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics say.
They were waiting for a disused flight out...
Medical sources and eyewitnesses said the aircraft hit the airport on Friday night, AFP reported.
For no reason, mind you. Except for a dead guy. But the rocketeers weren't at the airport.
The injured were all in the vicinity of the airport, near the town of Rafah. According to the report, the rescue forces were having trouble evacuating injured people due to Israeli forces activity in the area.
Kinda like the guys who were working on the farm who were having trouble due to Hamas-allied bad boyz shooting rockets at them.
An Israeli military statement confirmed the attack, claiming the target has been "a terror site."

Earlier on Thursday, Israeli warplanes bombed six other targets in Gaza, leaving two people injured.

Tensions are high between Israel and the Palestinians over the regime's settlement activities on occupied Palestinian lands.
And they swell up even higher when the bad boyz shoot off their rockets toward conveniently-located civilian targets.

#1  All flights cancelled. The Rafah airport reconstruction programme hits yet another snag.
