Israel carries out airstrikes in Gaza
2006-02-11
GAZA - Israel carried out airstrikes in the Gaza Strip early on Saturday morning, hitting fields and roads believed to be used by militants for rocket attacks on Israel, Israeli and Palestinian security sources said. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
"Rats. We missed, Avi."
Palestinian security sources said Israeli aircraft fired two missiles at a road in central Gaza, missing a car carrying militants. The missiles left large holes in the road, witnesses said. An Israeli army spokeswoman said the airstrike in central Gaza targeted rocket-launching sites used by militants.

Palestinian security sources said Israeli missiles also struck two roads in northern Gaza. The Israeli army has frequently carried such raids in order to cut roads used by militants to transfer rockets to launching sites.

#15  After doing some research on Palestinians, I've come to the conclusion it's not the Palestinians per se, it's Fatah and Hamas. They have been able to garner the world wide press and the average Palestinian has been cast aside. Fatah and Hamas have been able, by force of arms, to project the image that ALL palestinians follow their suicidal vein. It's damned hard to project a positive image when there are people who are willing to kill you if you diverge from their viewpoint.
