Three dead in Gaza helizap
2006-02-05
Three people died in Gaza when Israeli armed forces launched a helicopter attack on a building used by the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. Five others were wounded in the attack on Gaza City early on Sunday. Those killed were reported to have been trying to run away flee in a car, the BBC's correspondent Alan Johnston said.

The Israeli military said the attack was designed to stop Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel, after a strike which wounded three on Friday. They said the building was used to prepare rocket attacks on Israeli territory. Palestinians said the building was an al-Aqsa sports club and sports training camp.
Sports club in Gaza? What's the sport, grenade-throwing?
Hoot, laddie! 'Tis tossin' the Islamic caber yer referrin' tae! 'Tis just like the Scots caber, only with fins. And a warhead.
An the dancin' roond the auto - that's traditional, like the Hieland Fling dontcha know.
Don't forget the coordinated Seething Team...
The building targeted in the Israeli missile strike belonged to the Fatah Party, run by outgoing Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas, witnesses said. The car was hit moments after Israeli rockets hit the building, forcing people into the street.
Nicely timed.
The BBC's correspondent said a meeting was taking place in the building, when a helicopter was heard moving towards it.
"Aiiieeeee! They're onto us! Run away!"
Four of the wounded were security personnel guarding the Palestinians' Preventive Security headquarters near the sports club al-Aqsa facility, hospital officials said. Dozens of al-Aqsa sports club members and their supporters gathered outside the hospital where the wounded were being treated, some of them having gun sex firing rifles into the air. "God willing, our rockets, our self-sacrificing martyrs and all the means of resistance will chase out the Zionists from every corner of our occupied land," al-Aqsa member Abu Mujahed said, accusing Israel of carrying out a targeted attack.
"But let's not be hasty, we didn't want to martyr ourselves inside the sports club," he added.

#17  By the way, what happened to your Fatboy Sharon?
Currently, he doesn't seem to be much of a monster. I mean he's turned into a vegetable. Yes! Sure must be smelling very bad. Why don't Bush and Blair go help his family change his diapers. But I pray God doesn't kill him soon. Let the Fat Boy stink up the whole hospital. He needs to be punished in this life before God roasts him in AlJaheem-the living HELL-FIRE! Ha! Ha! Ha! You Suckers!!!

#16  I just took a look in the sinktrap. Mr. Truth must be pretty kinky to imagine that kind of thing would seduce anyone to join his religion. His parents taught him well how to hate, but they neglected to teach him the manners of a guest to his host.

#15  Yup. He who has the press gets the freedom. Start your own blog and see how many stop by to see your musings. No reason Fred has to allow you to peddle them here.

#9  "...accusing Israel of carrying out a targeted attack."

That's a problem for Abu: These targeted attacks garner less and less sympathy and outrage from the EUs and other LLLs each time - not enough mangled baby ducks and fluffy bunnies.

Personally, I'd like to see Israel take these higher up the chain of command. I guess they're waiting for a more successful attack by the Paleos before doing that.

Good shooting, IAF!

#7  These dumb Paleos don't realize that Israel left the buildings wired when they left. They can sit in Tel Aviv and listen to the plans to kill Joooos being discussed. Then, dispatch a chopper to erase the splodydopes.

#6   Four of the wounded were security personnel guarding the Palestinians' Preventive Security headquarters terrorist's meeting.

AP news says: The three killed were senior field operatives of Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the hospital said. Field operatives plan and carry out rocket attacks and other assaults on Israeli targets.

#2  the Paleos are big on winter sports, like curling. It comes natural, like their sovereignty over Israel
