Refugee camps? We don' need no refugee camps! We gots Paradies right here at home in Gaza

At approximately 06:30 on Wednesday, 6 June 2007, Ahmed Majed al-Habeel, 26, and Ra’ed Sami al-‘Azzami, 28, from al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City, were admitted into Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The two were wounded by shrapnel when a mysterious object they mishandled exploded.
An Israeli Happy Fun Ball maybe...
At approximately 08:30 also on Wednesday, Mohammed Murad Hmaid, 11, from al-‘Atatra area in Beit Lahia town in the northern Gaza Strip, was lightly wounded by shrapnel to the right hand and foot, when he mishandled a home-made hand grenade.
Jeez, mom. Dad said his were as good as the real ones.
Daddy is a lyin bastid and an idiot, Mohammed.

At approximately 09:00 also on Wednesday, 3 children were wounded by shrapnel throughout the body when a home-made hand grenade they mishandled exploded in al-Sikka area in Khan Yunis. Sameer Hamdi al-Masri, 15; RafeÂ’ Rashad al-Masri, 16; and Rawad Mohammed al-Masri, 12.
I wonder if they know Mohammed's daddy?
At approximately 18:00 on Tuesday, 5 June 2007, Wissam ‘Abdul Karim ‘Oukal, 10, was wounded by shrapnel to the right hand when he mishandled fireworks near his house in Jabalya town in the northern Gaza Strip.
Fireworks are dangerous, Wissam. Doesn't daddy have any homemade grenades you can play with?
At approximately 19:45 on Sunday, 3 June 2007, Mohammed Hamdi al-Masri, 18, was killed by a gunshot to the back, and Bilal Ameen al-Masri, 16, was wounded by a gunshot to the right thigh, when gunmen fired at them near Jamal ‘Abdul Nasser Street in Khan Yunis. An exchange of fire between armed members of the al-Masri and Abu Taha clan had taken place at 19:00 near the desalination plant, but no casualties had been reported.
Oh, good. The Al-Masri's always make for good copy. And they appear here so often...
At approximately 07:30 also on Sunday, IsmaÂ’il Jarad al-Farra, 50, from Khan Yunis, was admitted into Gaza European Hospital in Khan Yunis, as he was wounded by a gunshot to the left thigh in an inter-clan dispute.
Hold out your leg, Jarad.
What did I do?
Nothing. Clan dispute. It's your turn.

At approximately 19:30 on Saturday, 2 June 2007, a number of gunmen intercepted MoÂ’on Ramadan Abu Nahel, 39, when he was traveling in his car in al-Karama housing project in the north of Gaza City. They then fired at him. He was wounded by a gunshot to the left leg. According to Abu Nahel, the gunmen are related to him and they fired at him because of old inter-clan differences.
I need that twenty, Abu, or next week it's the right leg.
Okay, mom...

At approximately 17:30 on Friday, 1 June 2007, Tariq ‘Abdul Qader Ahmed, 15, from Khan Yunis, was wounded by a gunshot to the abdomen while he was riding his bicycle in the east of the town. The child was hit by a gunshot when a number of gunmen traveling in a civilian car fired at houses belonging to the al-Masri clan in the context of a clan dispute.
Al-Masri. Your first name in clan disputes.
At approximately 02:00 also on Friday, a dispute among members of the al-Deirawi clan in al-Zawaida village in the central Gaza Strip developed and small arms were used.
...as the large weapons were all in the shop.
Three Palestinians, including a mediator and a woman, were wounded: Hasan Hussein Hamdan, 47, from Nusairat refugee camp, wounded by shrapnel to the back; Sahar Mustafa al-Hawajri, 30, wounded by a gunshot to the back; Mohammed Suleiman al-Deirawi, 37, from Deir al-Balah, wounded by a gunshot to the right thigh.
Nice job "mediating" there, Hasan.
Me? I thought you were the mediator?

At approximately 00:30 on Sunday, 3 June 2007, a number of masked gunmen broke into a house belonging to the family of Hani Ghazi Abu JomÂ’a, 24, an officer of the Palestinian Preventive Security Service, in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in the north of Gaza City and attempted to kidnap him. As he was able to escape, the gunmen opened fire indiscriminately inside the house. Two of JomÂ’aÂ’s sisters were wounded.
Oh-oh. Masked gunman headquarters won't like that we screwed up.
We'll tell 'em, "He wuz like Houdini, I tells ya! Houdini!"
Nah. Let's shoot the place up.

At approximately 15:30 on Saturday, 2 June 2007, Mousa Khaled al-Mallahi, 22, from al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the east of Gaza City, was admitted into Shifa Hospital in Gaza City as he was wounded by shrapnel throughout the body when he mishandled a mysterious object near his house.
Hmmmmm...wonder what this is?
Earlier, at approximately 10:00, Mohammed Mustaf al-Bura’ei, 30, and Mohammed ‘Aadel al-Afghani, 27, members of the Military Intelligence Service from al-Boreij refugee camp, were admitted into al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. The two were each wounded by a gunshot to the abdomen when they were on duty, but the circumstances are not clear.
Bet I can clear it up. Looks like they tied at quick draw. Another feather in the cap for the boys over at Military Intelligence...
At approximately 08:45 also on Saturday, a number of masked persons traveling in a civilian car fired at Ra’ed ‘Omar Safi, 37, a police officer, from Beit Lahia, when he was traveling in his car towards his work in Gaza City. The car was heavily damaged, but Safi was not hurt.
Ah, don't worry, Ra' ed. They can probably just buff that all out...
At approximately 17:30 on Thursday, 31 May 2007, a number of unknown gunmen fired at Mohammed Rasmi al-Najjar, 30, a taxi driver from Khan Yunis, after they had seized his car in al-Sudaniya area in the west of Beit Lahia. He was wounded by several gunshots to the feet.
You knew there had to be at least one foot job.

#4  1 down for the preventive sec serv, and one for "mil intel". The former is Fatah affiliated, and Im guessing the latter is. The "We do TOO have a dog in this fight" brigade officially regrets the results of the days festivities. I want to see more dead Hamasniks, not just Fatahniks.
