Paleostinian killed in Israel airstrike
2006-06-17
At least one Palestinian was killed and three other wounded in an Israeli air strike targeting a car in Gaza City late on Friday, Palestinian medical sources said. "Two of the wounded have serious burns and their condition is very serious," said a medical source. A missile hit the car in the village of Wadi Gaza on the southern outskirts of Gaza City, witnesses said. An Israeli army spokeswoman said that the air strike targeted "a car between Gaza City and the Deir al-Balah camp carrying an Islamic Jihad cell responsible for firing rockets into Israel". The Islamic Jihad has fired dozens of makeshift rockets into neighbouring areas in Israel, causing little damage. According to the Israeli military, some 120 rockets have struck southern Israel over the past week.

#5  The Islamic Jihad has fired dozens of makeshift rockets into neighbouring areas in Israel, causing little damage.

This continues with the NYT meme of Pally missile firings being 'ineffective' so what's up with Israel returning fire?

No doubt the Pak Times would like Israel to 'spot' the Pallys 100 rocket attacks before they respond 'just to make things fair'.

#4  At least every kid at the car swarm gets an individual body part to parade around....which is nice.

Even the little spazzy kidz? I guess that's nice. But it does take the edge off the competition. It'll be different once they get to Babe Rube league, that's a picked team, gotta show an organ to even be considered.

#2  I don't think a "car" was targetted. I'd guess it was the occupants? Nice shooting, Avi. Live by the rocket, die by the rocket.
