Fighting resumes in Gaza as Israel, Hamas trade rockets, air strikes
|
[THEGLOBEANDMAIL] Egyptian attempts to broker an end to a month-long war between Israel and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, collapsed in heavy fighting Tuesday, with Paleostinian turbans firing dozens of rockets and Israel responding with Arclight airstrikes across the Gazoo Strip. At least three Paleostinians were killed.
The burst of violence, which erupted in the hours before a temporary truce was set to expire, left the Egyptian mediation efforts in tatters and raised the likelihood of a new round of fighting in a war that has already claimed more than 2,000 lives, most of them Paleostinians.
The fighting broke out when Gazoo turbans fired several rockets into Israel Tuesday afternoon. Israel quickly withdrew its delegation from the Cairo ceasefire talks and resumed its campaign of Arclight airstrikes, and fighting continued into the night.
Three people — two women and a 2-year-old girl — were killed in an air strike on a house in Gazoo City, Paleostinian medical official Ashraf al-Kidra said. The target of the air strike wasn't immediately known.
However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
in Cairo, Moussa Abu Marzouk, a Hamas big turban, said the dead included the wife and a child of Mohammed Deif, the Islamic murderous Moslem group's elusive military chief, who has escaped numerous Israeli liquidation attempts in the past. There was no immediate confirmation from Hamas leaders in Gazoo.
Twenty-one people were maimed in a separate Arclight airstrike that hit a building that houses offices of Hamas's Al Aqsa TV station, al-Kidra said. The fatalities were the first since a temporary truce was reached last Wednesday.
Israeli officials said at least 50 rockets were fired late Tuesday, setting off air raid sirens throughout southern Israel and as far away as the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. There were no reports of injuries, though a piece of a rocket that was intercepted near Tel Aviv fell on a busy road.
Israel's civil defence authority, the Home Front Command, ordered authorities to reopen public bomb shelters within 80 kilometres of Gazoo.
In Cairo, Paleostinian negotiators declared the ceasefire talks over, and said they would leave Egypt on Wednesday.
