| Score one more for the good guys! |
A seven-year-old boy has died of wounds suffered in an Israeli air strike that killed his uncle, a Paleostinian turban, as they were riding on a cycle of violence in the Gazoo Strip, relatives and hospital officials said on Sunday.
| Human shield. At least he took a relative, and not some fatherless child off the street. |
The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the death of the boy, Ali Abdel-Latif al-Awoor, whom hospital officials said succumbed on Saturday to multiple shrapnel injuries from the June 11 strike that killed Mohammed al-Woor, 33.
Shortly after Wednesday's attack, the military said it had targeted the turban over his involvement in rocket strikes on Israel.
| There'll be more where that came from for a while, but it doesn't hurt to get rid of the most skilled, affecting the quality of training of those that follow. Look for more rockets that miss Israel completely, hitting either Gaza or another country -- the longer range ones might land in Lebanon! |
Relatives said Ali's father had asked the uncle to give the boy a ride on the cycle of violence to Beit Lahiya, the northern Gazoo town where the family lives.
Militants said Awoor belonged to a pro-al-Qaeda Salafi group.
| Al Qaeda in the Sinai Peninsula, then? |
Israel has said it seeks to avoid civilian casualties in strikes against snuffies it believes are behind rocket attacks from the Gazoo Strip.
| A pious sentiment. But now is the time to clear the decks of both Palestinian entities, while Iran and Hizb'allah are otherwise occupied. Remember, the original plan was an encirclement by Hizb'allah on one side and Hamas on the other, together shooting off some 150,000 rockets currently staged for the event. if I recall the big number correctly, while Iran readied the coup de gras of those first nuclear bombs. Or so it seems to me, in my ignorance of matters military. |
