JERUSALEM (AP) - An Israeli airstrike late Monday destroyed a house in the Gaza Strip, injuring at least eight people, officials said. The military said an Islamic Jihad command center was targeted but Palestinians said the building was empty. Palestinian officials said the house had been evacuated two days before when Israeli officials called the residents and told them a strike was imminent.

#2 I'll bet they don't make the call until a intel drone is overhead. See where they go to ground until you reach critical mass of targets. |

#1 I simply do not understand why Israel is making these calls. I think I do. At least 2 of the reasons are: 1.The Israelis, like us, value human life and can't quite bring themselves to fire away w/o at least trying to clear out the teh Non-combatants. It makes for less flinching when the "kittens, puppies, and baby ducks" agitprop starts up. 2. It is a subtle form of Agitprop/psyops/I.O. that drives home how overwhelmingly omnicient they are. Imao, the 2nd point, while valid, does tend to backfire when applied to a less rational opponent... |
