Al Jazeera: Israel attacks Gaza City

Israel attacks Gaza City

Monday 01 September 2003, 16:11 Makka Time, 13:11 GMT

Israeli helicopter gunships have fired missiles at a target in occupied Gaza City, killing at least two people and injuring 25 others.

The target was not immediately identified, but the missile slammed into a car in the central sector of the city.

Israel has killed 10 Hamas activists and three civilians in recent helicopter missile attacks in the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers have opened fire on Palestinian teenagers, injuring at least 16, one seriously, in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus.

The teens were protesting on Monday against Israel's crippling blanket curfew over the city, when soldiers opened fire with live and rubber bullets, according to medical sources.

1. Hmm...

I guess it doesn't matter. After all, these teens are over twelve - according to the IDF, they're now adults. <sarcasm>

2. This is a daily occurrence in the Occupied Territories

I will also point out that the US has used far more lethal force in Iraq against civilians, and has killed more civilian anti-Occupation demonstrators in 3 months that Israel has in the last 10 years in the West Bank!

Who are the real monsters?

Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld deserve to be tried for war crimes like Milosevic. Sharon does as well.

4. Israel has killed 10 Hamas activists

I don't see anything wrong with that. As long as they don't target innocents getting rid of the people that target kids seems like a good thing.
