2009-01-02 Israel-Palestine-Jordan

The IDF has also used what they are calling "roof knocking" operations, in which they inform the residents of suspected buildings that they have 10 minutes to leave the premises. In some cases, residents of suspected houses have been able to prevent bombing by climbing up to the roof to show that they will not leave, prompting IDF commanders to call off the strike. In these cases, Channel 10 reported Thursday, the IAF sometimes launches a relatively harmless missile at the corner of the roof, avoiding casualties but successfully dispersing the crowd.

It appears that the "roof knocking" technique was used in the assassination of Hamas leader Nizar Ghayan Thursday, but Ghayan decided to stay indoors with his family, and the army opted to bomb the house anyway.

#2 Maybe Nizar was watching a good show. You would think that he would have sent the kids up onto the roof until it was over. Human shields work better when they are visible.

Pig's blood gives more bang for the buck, if you are into that "dispersing" thing.

#5 just fucking bake them. it doesn't matter what you do to show your humanitarian side, so just fuck them and set the dial to extra-crispy. I mean, I applaud your efforts, but demonstrations around the world have shown no one understands that the "Palestinians" are bullies and need to have their ass kicked. It is interesting that in movies (and the general sentiment) when bullies harass their revenge is applauded. not so here; why?
