3 infiltrations foiled; IDF demolishes Gaza buildings
JPost Reg Req’d
IDF troops killed a Palestinian gunman after a fierce gunbattle near an army outpost and blew up three empty hi-rises in the Gaza Strip Sunday morning.
cause/effect lesson #8,342
I've still yet to see a desultory gunbattle.
Two more infiltration attempts in the Gaza Strip were also foiled by IDF reservists Sunday. In one of the incidents, two Palestinian gunmen were reported hit by IDF gunfire but it was not confirmed that they were killed.
look in the hospital for ’em...or maybe, after the last incident where the Israelis snatched the guys from the hospitals, these a-holes went home to quietly bleed to death
On a sandy hill overlooking the heavily guarded Jewish settlement of Netzarim, troops evacuated some 2,000 Palestinians from their homes and then blew up three unfinished 12-story buildings. Huge blasts rocked the area for kilometers (miles) around, sending plumes of black smoke and debris into the air, and damaging nearby structures. The operation was in retaliation for an attack Friday morning in which two Palestinian gunmen infiltrated an army outpost in the Gaza Strip settlement of Netzarim and killed three soldiers, including two women. One of the gunmen was killed and the other escaped. The attack was carried out jointly by the Hamas and Islamic Jihad militant groups. IDF officials said Palestinians used the buildings to monitor Netzarim and the adjoining military base and compiled information regarding the troop movements and daily routine.
12 story lookout posts hovels - wonder what kind of quality control they had in building those? lol
The Palestinian who was killed Sunday had approached an army outpost near a settlement armed with a rifle and hand grenades, the military said. A soldier on observation saw the gunman and alerted a nearby force. A fierce gunbattle erupted and the Palestinian was killed.
"Fierce gunbattle" is simply redundant, dammit!
In a separate incident overnight Saturday, troops noticed a group of four Palestinians crawling toward an army outpost. Troops fired on the group and hit two. Two others fled, the military said, adding that troops were waiting for daylight to search the area for the wounded Palestinians.
Crawled off into the brush to die, hopefully...
Also Sunday, IDF troops shot at a group of armed Palestinians who were approaching the Kfar Darom settlement in the Gaza Strip.
busy little beavers, aren’t they? I guess they just don’t know about The Roadmap™?
Security forces demolished a nearby Palestinian police station into which the second attacker of the Netzarim attack fled; police officials then helped him return to the Gaza Strip.
Ahhhh the vaunted Paleo security forces
