Rafah has been the scene of much bloodshed

An eight-year-old boy, shot in the head, is the latest casualty in an ongoing Israeli army raid targeting Rafah refugee camp in the occupied Gaza Strip.

Six Palestinians are now dead, including a 12-year-old girl, after elite troops backed by heavy armour stormed the camp overnight.

At least 50 people have so far been wounded.

Fighting erupted as Israel sent dozens of tanks into the Rafah refugee camp early on Friday on a mission, it said, aimed at destroying tunnels Palestinians used to smuggle weapons.

According to Palestinian security officials, among the dead is 23-year-old Muhammad Abd al-Wahaba, a member of Hamas' armed wing.

2. Its a shame

that we can't condem the actions of the Israelis without being labeled anti-semetic....
sure is a good way to kill a debate...kind of like if you disagree with Bush then you are a traitor...

3. agreed...

but if we say that each and every Palestinian is personally responsible for the 2 dead children mentioned in the article, we would be commended for our "moral clarity"

:puke:

4. I can.

I have nothing against the Jewish people, but Israel, the county, is a terrorist regime that wouldn't stand a chance of surviving without the support of the United States.

8. The Palestinian people are semitic

does that make Sharon anti-semitic?

6. it's up to 6 dead now, 50 reported injured

7. I am so sick of all the dead babies!!

What a tragedy!! We need to get a Dem Prez in the WH who will actually work to achieve peace in the ME!! Bush wants war and chaos.

There must be a way to get these people to stop killing each other!
