7 Gazans hurt in IDF shelling
According to Palestinian report, seven Northern Gaza Strip family members hurt by IDF artillery fire Saturday afternoon, including mother and son who suffered serious wounds after their home sustained direct hit

"Palestinian sources in Gaza say that seven family members were hurt after their home in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun was directly hit by an IDF shell Saturday afternoon.

According to the report, a 40-year-old mother and a five-year-old son suffered serious injuries in the shelling.

The IDF said that troops responded with artillery fire at rocket launching sites used by terrorists Friday. Military officials said they are looking into reports about the injured Palestinians.

IDF Southern Command officials said army forces fired more than 250 shells at north Gaza rocket launching sites since Friday night in response to the firing of Qassams on Israel."

1. I sure hope . . .
. . . that 5 year old appreciates the difference between suicide bombing and collateral damage.

3. maybe...just maybe...
the guys who were launching the kassam from beit hannun (closest built up area to the border)...who knew there would be a response should care a little bit more about their fellow palestenians?

seems pretty heartless to want to kill israelis so much that one doesnt even care about the kids in the area.....

but then again, why hold the palestenains responsable for attempting to kill israelis...its a lot easier to blame the israelis for shooting back

2. The Israelis are "looking into" it
which means nothing will happen.

Israelis stand back and shoot ducks in a tub --

And then the suicide bomber sees his victims just before he blows himself up.

Both are sick ways of dealing with the "other".
