Israel Hits Hamas Training Camp in Gaza, Killing 13

GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli tanks shelled a Hamas training camp in the central Gaza Strip early on Tuesday, killing at least 13 terrorists militants and wounding 30 accomplices people, witnesses and hospital sources said. Tanks stationed at a border crossing between Israel and Gaza fired into the outskirts of the town of Shijaia, a stronghold of Hamas, the terrorist militant group behind a double suicide bombing that murdered killed 16 people on buses in southern Israel last week. Witnesses said explosions tore through a Hamas training ground after an exchange of fire with Palestinian gunmen in the area.

Hospital sources said all of the dead were Hamas terrorists members but that the wounded included terrorism supporting civilians. The Israeli army had no immediate comment. Israeli leaders had vowed to strike back hard in retaliation for last Tuesday's twin bombings in Beersheba, the first suicide attacks in the Jewish state in nearly six months. In what appeared to be Israel's toughest response so far, a series of explosions could be heard just after midnight (1700 EDT) in nearby Gaza City as Israeli helicopter gunships roared overhead. Hamas, sworn to Israel's destruction, is the main terrorist militant group spearheading a campaign of suicide bombings against Israelis during a nearly four-year-old Palestinian uprising.

#5  #3 Damned Zionists, every time Israel commits a crime Americans pay with their lives.

Just a few casualties beats Hell out of 3,000 in a day. But that's not something you'd cheer, would you, UFO?

Here's a clue; Bend way over and kiss your own sorry @ss goodbye.

#2  The IDF was gracious enough to turn 'night maneuvers' into a live fire exercise.

#1  On the BBC they said that HAMAS was conducting 'night maneuvers' when they were attacked. Is that what they are calling terrorists activity now? If so I pity the Brits, I truly do.
