Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IAF Clobbers Paleo Foreign Ministry Bldg
2006-07-12
A bomb dropped by an IAF warplane destroyed the Palestinian Authority Foreign Ministry building in Gaza City early Thursday, wounding at least three people and causing widespread damage in the area.

The IDF confirmed it carried out the airstrike noting that it is "led by Hamas."

The wounded were in neighboring buildings, and it was not known if anyone was in the ministry at the time. Ambulances and rescue services raced to the scene.

Houses and cars in the area were badly damaged by the force of the blast, and the third and fourth floor of the foreign ministry building were destroyed

#7  About bloody time.....yes? Let's see if the Bush Administration trys to talk Israel into "a measured approach and diplomacy". It has often been my mantraa that if we left the Israeli's to their own devices in the '67 six day war the world at large and the middle east in particular would not be in the condiiton they are today.....just my humble opinion.

#6  Why at night? The people that need killing would be there during the day.

#4  My only regret about the current festivities is that it wasn't done during Arafat's infatada and we didn't get to turn that terrorist @##@!@#$ into raspberry jam with a JDAM

#2  "the third and fourth floor of the foreign ministry building were destroyed"
Seems like one more bomb is needed for the first and second floors.
