'Two Gazans killed in tank shell blast'
[Iran Press TV] At least two Paleostinians have been killed in the besieged coastal enclave of Gazoo when an Israeli tank shell detonated, reports say.According to the reports, the kaboom was caused by an unexploded Israeli tank shell which was most probably left from Israel's massive 22-day onslaught against Gazoo in the turn of 2009. The Israeli offensive on Gazoo claimed the lives of over 1,400 Paleostinians -- most of them women and kiddies. Earlier, Israeli troops shot and maimed three Paleostinians, one of them a teenager, in the impoverished Gazoo Strip. The Paleostinians were reportedly collecting gravel to use in construction work when they came under fire. Nearly one hundred Paleostinians have been shot at by Israeli soldiers since March while collecting construction material near the Gazoo border. Gazoo has been under Israel's all-out siege since 2007. The naval siege of the impoverished coastal sliver, however, remains in place, exports are banned and imports of raw and construction materials are restricted. Some 40 percent of Gazoo residents have gone without jobs since Israel imposed the siege on the enclave in June 2007 following Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,' victory in a democratic election.
