| [Jpost] IDF units fire tear gas at Gazan rioters who crossed border fence. A group of Gazook rioters approached the security fence from the center of the Strip and breached the border with Israel on Monday. They were then surrounded by IDF units, which fired tear gas and pushed them back into Gazoo, an army spokeswoman said. The rioters breached the border repeatedly, before being moved back by the IDF each time into Gazoo. The IDF's Southern Command is attempting to contain Paleostinian riots near the Gazoo border fence without the use of live fire, after recent border festivities between Paleostinian mobs and the army left nine Gazooks dead from gunshot wounds. A military source said that while there has been no change in the rules of engagement in cases involving the approach of rioters to the fence, commanders have told ground units to focus on deploying tear gas and to fire warning shots in the air to prevent rioters from trying to damage or breach the border barrier. "If those measures are insufficient, then the soldiers will have to fire at the legs [of rioters]," the source added. Investigations from the deadly festivities in the recent days have not yet been completed, and will likely reach their conclusions only after the region becomes calmer. Continued unrest along the border carries with it the risk of escalation with Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , an increase in rocket attacks on the South, and retaliatory Israel Air Force strikes. Two Paleostinian minors aged 12 and 15 were rubbed out during border festivities on Saturday, Paleostinian medics said, according to a Rooters report, while seven were killed in similar incidents on Friday.
[IsraelTimes] IDF fires at rioters who enter Israeli territory; Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, denies reports it banned residents from boundary At least six Gazooks were reported injured during renewed festivities between Israeli soldiers and protesters Monday evening along the Israel-Gazoo border, after several dozen Paleostinians crossed the border fence into Israel, the second such incident in recent days. Israel Defense Forces soldiers fired at the group of some 20 protesters in an effort to push the Paleostinians back toward the Hamas-controlled territory, the Walla news site reported. The protesters sneaked into Israel adjacent to the al-Bureij refugee camp and emerged in the Eshkol Regional Council, in the center of the Strip, before the IDF arrived at the scene. The festivities came days after at least nine Paleostinians were killed and dozens maimed in festivities with IDF troops along the border, after 70 Gazooks entered Israel from the Strip. The IDF confirmed that "dozens" of Paleostinians had broken through the border fence, and said that efforts to push the protesters back into Gazoo were ongoing. Earlier on Monday, the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, leaders of the Strip denied reports that they had issued a warning to Gazoo residents banning them from approaching the border fence with Israel. Up until last week, which saw the deadly border festivities along with several rocket attacks and retaliatory Israeli On Sunday, Hamas warned Israel against "foolishness" after the Israeli Air Force struck the Gazoo Strip in response to rocket fire at southern communities. A woman and her two-year-old daughter were killed in that strike. Analysts believe Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,'s goal is to ignite the West Bank into a Paleostinian uprising, or intifada, which will ultimately lead to the dismantling of the group's rival, the Paleostinian Authority. Much of the recent flareup of violence has centered around Paleostinian claims that Israel is seeking to change the decades-old status quo on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, a site holy to both Jews and Muslims. The site, which houses the al-Aqsa Mosque, is administered by the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf. Under rules set by Israel, Jews are allowed to visit but not to pray at the site. Israel has repeatedly denied accusations that it intends to make changes to the current rules, and says the accusations are incitement to violence. Amid heightened fears that an intifada could erupt, Israel has recently deployed Iron Dome missile defense batteries in the southern cities of Beersheba, Ofakim, Sderot and Netivot. | |
