#1 Sounds like a false alarm or Paleo-propaganda. According to the Ha'aretz news ticker (in reverse chronological order):
19:09 Palestinians: 17-year-old killed in Gaza house explosion; cause of blast not known
18:59 Palestinians: several people hurt in explosion in house in Shati refugee camp in Gaza; cause of blast unknown
18:46 Military sources deny Palestinian claims that IAF aircraft attacked targets in Gaza City
18:31 Palestinians: IAF aircraft attacks target in Gaza City; identity of target not yet known

#3 Work-accident 17 yr old kid.

OT

This was also on the haaretz ticker:

"17:35 Hamas vows revenge over collapse of stone embankment abutting the Western Wall and leading to Temple Mount "

Can anyone enlighten me as to why they are swearing dire revenge(TM) over the collapsing of a wall?

#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!

#5 Evert Visser:

The reason tehy swear dire revenge is because this is punishment for homosexuals: collapsing a wall on them.

#6 Perhaps the Paleos came up with a hot air ballon to "surprise" the Israeli's and drop rocks and stuff....who knows what technology they may have. 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?
