#1 It was the third night in a row that Israeli aircraft had carried out a so-called targeted killing operation against militants in Gaza,

What's with the "so-called"? Targeted killing is about as accurate and objective a description of it as one could ... oh, right, that's the problem: accurate and objective.

#2 Israeli artillery units also bombarded northern Gaza throughout Sunday night and Monday morning as Palestinians responded with rocket strikes on Israel.

"Our artillery on Monday morning was directing sustained fire at the north of the Gaza Strip, which was also regularly bombarded during the night," an Israeli military source said.

someone here said the other day: "counter-battery fire is a bitch" LOL

#3 The vehicle the pair were travelling in was gutted by the strike, witnesses said.

The one, the only, the genuine original and authentic Car-B-Q. Accept no substitutes, not available in stores, your mileage may vary, offer not good after curfew in sectors R and N.

#6 My far out theory: These are Fatah guys who are really scared now that their enemies in Hamas will be in charge, and are making targeting deals with the Israelis for safe passage.

I think it has been IJ and Al Asqa in each case, so Hamas doesn't care either.

The Israelis know a good deal when they see it. I just wish they would release one of the videos for the pleasure of the blogosphere. Not all, just one.
