#3 From the PCHR, official scorer of Pali gunplay...

PCHR’s preliminary investigation indicates that at approximately 19:00 on Monday, 26 March 2007, armed clashed broke out between members of Fatah and Hamas in Ibn Siena Street in Tal El-Sultan Quarter in Rafah. The clashes were triggered by a clan dispute, which escalated into an exchange of fire. Masked gunmen were seen on top of roofs and others in alleys. Machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades were used in the clashes, which continued till midnight. Six people were injured, including two bystanders.

PCHR’s preliminary investigation indicates that at approximately 10:50 on Monday, 26 March 2007, Hasan Mohammad Yousef Abu Ma’rouf (38, from Khan Yunis) was brought to Naser Hospital in Khan Yunis suffering from a bullet wound to the chest. He died shortly afterwards from his wounds. Abu Ma’rouf was a member of the Interior Ministry Executive Force. Sources in the Executive Force indicated that Abu Ma’rouf and a colleague were in an administrative room inside the Executive Force compound to the west of Khan Yunis when he was injured; and that an investigation has been opened into the incident.
Just a guess, but I'm going with..."mishandled weapon".

In another development, Basel Fathi Dawoud (24, from Beit Lahia) died on Sunday, 25 March 2007, of wound sustained a month ago when he and a friend mishandled a weapon a month ago. He was transferred from Shifa Hospital to an Israeli hospital due to the severity of his injury.

A Jew hospital? No faith in the Inshallah health care system? Jeez, what would Mo say?

#4 At the rate they're going, it won't matter whether they outbreed the Israelis or not. Gaza is going to be uninhabitable due to the high level of lead in the soil and the buildings (where it isn't saturated with infectious bacteria and parasites from the sewage overflows -- seriously ick!).

Gaza: At least 10 dead in flooding from sewage breach
Palestinian medical officials said 10 people were killed when the wall of a large cesspool collapsed on Tuesday, flooding the northern Gaza village of Umm Naser with mud and sewage.

The officials said at least 30 people were missing. The rest of the village's 3,000 residents fled or were evacuated by rescue crews.

#7 Are Palestinian building codes even as high as the rest of the Arab world, gromgoru? Ie, more honoured in the breach?

/no I'm not sorry. ;-)

#8 Gaza: At least 10 dead in flooding from sewage breach

It says a lot about poor Palestinian marksmanship when a sewage breach incurs a higher death toll than an entire night's firefight with RPGs and full-auto weapons.

the wall of a large cesspool collapsed

And what is it with the Palestinians and their above-surface cesspools? Do they do double duty as sheep-dip runs?

#9 And what is it with the Palestinians and their above-surface cesspools? It's against the will of Allan to dig, except for smuggling tunnels.

What? The Prophet Lucky (PBUH for real) in a 2 a.m. Surra said that "they are never so happy as when burrowing."
