Palestinian missiles target Israeli military monitoring tower
2006-07-24
(KUNA) -- Spokesman of the Israeli Army announced that three explosions occurred Sunday afternoon near the Erez crossing north of Gaza as a result of Palestinian shelling. The spokesman told Radio Israel that Israeli soldiers, stationed near the crossing that joins Gaza and Israel, opened fire everywhere and closed the crossing soon after the explosions occurred. He claimed the explosions did not cause any casualties or damage.

Meanwhile, Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) organization, claimed responsibility of launching two RPGs at a military monitoring tower north of Earz crossing. It said in a release that the shelling comes in retaliation to the continuous Israeli attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and on Lebanon.

The Izzuddine Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, announced it shelled the Israeli settlement of Netiv Esra with Qassam missiles Sunday afternoon. It emphasized in a release that it vowed to resist any Israeli attack on Gaza and to "teach the enemy a lesson he will never forget".

#9  The lesson is that basic physics and geometry are way beyond what the Arab schools are teaching kids nowadays.

Strap bomb to self and go blewy is pretty much their curriculum.

#8  Line up those A-109s 11A5 is so fond of all across the northern border of Gaza, have them start shelling in barrage fire mode, and just move south 100 yards a day. have a few bulldozers out in front to level the ground. In a few weeks, there won't be any Gaza problem. There won't be any Gaza, either, which is what it's going to take.

#7  "teach the enemy a lesson he will never forget".

They already know the lesson. You can't shoot worth shit. Probably why they're not afraid of you.

#5  Algebra is an Arabic word however. Calculus on the other hand is an Anglo invention, care of Newton and the other guy whose name eludes me.

#3  The slammers' religion keeps them too backward too do targetting, we should call them MISSiles.

#2  Look, you don't 'shell' things with missles. You shell them with SHELLS. Artillery shells. Sea shells. Some kind of shells.

Is that so hard for the media to figure out?

#1  More press releases about firing shit -- and hitting nothing.

All these Brave Lions, Brigades of this, Armies of that, and basically nothing to show for it but KUNA's Glorious Spittle statements.

Yo, Mullas, Royals, Ummah - you're getting completely screwed on the ROI thing, LOL.
