#1 GAZA (Reuters) - An Israeli warplane fired a missile on Thursday at the pro-Hamas Islamic University in Gaza City, setting off a huge explosion, witnesses said.

Must have hit the ROTC directorate and set off a can of training blank ammunition.

#3 "huge explosion has been heard in Gaza City"

If anybody in Gaza was still alive to hear it, it wasn't loud enough.

#4 Kofi Annan is the poster child for why I want the UN to be dismantled and shipped to the Sudan.

He seriously does not have a clue whats going on.

I think someone should nominate me for the Nobel Peace Prize. I do as much for World Peace as he does. AND I probably know more about current affairs than he does. Since I read Rantburg and he obviously doesn't.

#6 Palestinian Group Says Israeli Executed
Jun 28 8:37 PM US/Eastern
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip
A Palestinian militant group said early Thursday it executed an 18- year-old Israeli settler kidnapped earlier in the West Bank. The statement from the Popular Resistance Committees in Gaza said the settler, Eliahu Asheri, had been executed.

The group, which has links to the ruling Hamas, had threatened to execute the Israeli if Israel did not halt its invasion of Gaza.
Palestinian security officials in the West Bank city of Ramallah said they believed a body had been found.
Israeli forces arrested the deputy prime minister of the Hamas government, two other Cabinet ministers and four lawmakers in a raid on a complex of buildings in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Palestinian security officials said. Israeli forces also arrested Labor Minister Mohammed Barghouti. All those arrested were from Hamas

#11 Annan was nonplussed. "What missiles?" he asked.

Perhaps Kofi's flappers were on a break when he was informed?

#12 Palestinian Group Says Israeli Executed

It's one thing when a terrorist groups claim to have "executed" someone, but it enrages me when media use the word outside of quoting the terrs. Here's an example from AP (surprise, surprise).

After decades I cancelled my NatGeo subscription after they said that Nick Berg was executed.
