Israeli warplanes hit warehouse in Gaza City
2006-11-15
(KUNA) -- Israeli warplanes launched a dawn strike on Tuesday targeting a warehouse for metallic items and auto spare parts in the city of Gaza, Palestinian security sources said. The sources said a single rocket slammed into the warehouse turning it into a heap of smouldering wreckage. The direct hit inflicted extensive damage in nearby houses and workshops and caused power outage in many districts in Al-Zaitoun district.
IDF rockets, why do they hate warehouses?
Medics rushed to the scene, though the strike inflicted no casualties.
Ammo transport Ambulances for intact ordnance potential wounded.
Separately, Palestinian gunners fired a rocket in the direction of an Israeli farm in Negev in the south of Israel. It damaged a house and a factory. Meanwhile, security sources reported that the border passageway of Rafah, linking Egypt with Gaza Strip, would be reopened later today. It would be opened in two directions till 5 p.m. Hundreds of Palestinians are waiting on the Egyptian side to be allowed to cross to the Palestinian territories. Israel, since last June, has repeatedly shut the vital gateway.

#4  Which way does the wind blow for the fall-out? And how big is the blast zone? Hopefully one of Rantburg's nuclear experts/amateurs will know the answer to your question, Gladys.

#3  What if the palestinians smuggled an Iranian nuclear device (if they exist)into one of their ammunition warehouses (ie. civilian house) fired off a couple of rockets from the roof to get Israel's attention and then when Israel responded.....Big Kaboom?
Ahmadinejad could gloat how the Israeli's were the instruments of their own destruction and that the palestinians were glorious martyrs for the Islamic cause and deny any culpability on his own part.

I doubt a single direct hit on auto parts and "metallic items" caused that kind of widespread damage. Munitions storage facility, yes. The stored weapons caused the extensive damage, not the Israeli rocket.

Fed up with underreporting and implied fluffy bunny massacres.
