Israeli-Palestinian Clash in Gaza Kills 1 Militant Terrorist
2005-05-20
Israel forces say they killed a Palestinian militant terrorist in the Gaza Strip during a gunbattle early Friday. The army says three Palestinians began firing missiles and small arms at Israeli soldiers from an abandoned building near the Gaza settlement of Kfar Darom. As Israeli forces returned fire, two of the militants terrorists escaped, but an army spokesman says the third man was killed.
Three militant groups, Hamas, the Popular Resistance Committees and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, say they were involved in the attempt to infiltrate the Jewish settlement.
So did each group send one guy, or are they collecting paychecks from each group?

Today's clash further strained a shaky three-month cease-fire. Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade have pledged to respect the truce, but both groups say they are determined to avenge Israel's recent military actions in Gaza. The Israeli military has been ordered Thursday to use all means necessary to suppress Gaza militants' attacks on Jewish targets.

#3  LGF noted the "abandoned building" was a UN school...and it was only abandoned 'cos it was the middle of the night.

#2  The Arab "victim" mindset makes me long for napalm in big canisters, dropped from A-1D Skyraiders, one after another, followed by ARCLIGHT strikes. Burn everything to the ground, plow the ground, and start over from scratch.

#1  I hope the abandoned building will be duly flattened. And every other hiding place used by the vicious fools to shoot at Israelis. In the end, instead of inheriting newly built, fully functioning modern communities emptied of their Israeli inhabitants, the Palestinians will take possession of piles of rubble that look just like the piles they already have. Actions ==> consequences.
