| [Al Arabiya Latest] Fifteen people were wounded in overnight Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian hospital officials said early Wednesday. The airstrikes came after the Israeli military reported that Palestinian fighters on Tuesday had blown up a donkey cart filled with dynamite near the concrete wall that separates Gaza from Israel and fired several mortar rounds into Israel. No Israelis were injured. Officials at the hospital in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza say 15 people, mostly civilians, were injured when Israeli warplanes targeted a Hamas training camp in the area. An Israeli defense spokesman confirmed the raids. Palestinian sources say Israeli F-16's carried out another airstrike against the inoperative Yasser Arafat International Airport in Rafah. No injuries were reported in this attack. There have been an increasing number of incidents in the past few months along the Gaza-Israel border, where Israel has imposed a crippling blockage following the Strip's takeover by the radical Hamas movement in 2007. Israel launched a devastating assault on Gaza in December 2008 aimed at halting rocket fire. Some 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in the 22-day Operation Cast Lead. Since then, the number of rockets fired into Israel from Gaza has fallen significantly. |

| #2 Does that mean you couldn't get all the AK-47s gathered up in time? That, and it's real hard to put a "I'm a Civilian" T-shirt on a body that's writhing in pain. |
