Soldier lightly injured by shrapnel as 6,000 protest on Gaza border
 [IsraelTimes] Army says fragment came from grenade or firecracker; 4 Gazooks caught crossing into Israel with grenade, knife; incendiary balloon launched from Strip sparks fire in south.An Israeli soldier was lightly injured Friday evening from shrapnel during violent protests in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip. The army said it was not clear whether the shrapnel came from a grenade or a firecracker. Some 6,000 Paleostinians were said to be taking part in the protests. The Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",-run Gaza health ministry said 75 Paleostinians were maimed during festivities with Israeli troops, 42 of them from live fire. "Fire at will!" Israeli soldiers captured four Paleostinians who crossed into Israel from the Strip armed with a grenade and a knife. The four were arrested shortly after crossing the border and taken in for further questioning, the army said. The incident came shortly after an incendiary balloon launched from Gaza sparked a fire in the Sdot Hanegev Regional Council and as Paleostinians took part in the weekly "March of Return" rallies along the border. According to a report Friday in Leb’s al-Akhbar newspaper, Israel has offered Hamas economic concessions and to ease its blockade of Gaza in return for a long-term ceasefire. The report said the proposal was made by Egyptian intelligence officials during a meeting with top Hamas members. While making the proposal, the Egyptians were said to warn Gaza officials that Israel is serious in its threats to carry out a wide-ranging military campaign if the violence continues. Hamas said it was not responsible for the recent firing of rockets from the coastal enclave toward Israel, blaming "rogue elements." Israel has accused the Iran-backed Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... of being behind the recent violence emanating from Gaza. But it maintains that Hamas, as the Strip’s ruler, is ultimately responsible for all attacks emanating from the territory, while saying that it believes the Islamic Jihad is instigating the current unrest. Both Israel and Egypt enforce a number of restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of Gaza. Israel says the blockade is necessary to keep Hamas and other terror groups in the Strip from arming or building military infrastructure. Since the start of August, an increase in rocket fire and attempts by Paleostinian button men to cross from Gaza into Israel have been met with IDF  ...KABOOM!... s on Hamas targets, threatening a fragile ceasefire between Israel and the ruling terror group.
