| Israeli tanks, bulldozers move into Gaza refugee camp | |
| 2004-12-17 | |
Israeli tanks and bulldozers moved into the Khan Younis refugee camp in southern Gaza early Friday and began destroying buildings, residents said. No casualties were reported in light exchanges of fire. The Israeli military said the operation was intended to reduce the number of mortar and rocket attacks from the camp at nearby Jewish settlements. On Thursday, 11 Israeli soldiers were slightly wounded when a mortar shell exploded in a nearby army base. The military said in recent days, Palestinians have fired 30 rockets and mortars from the camp. Residents said soldiers ordered people to leave their homes in the neighborhood known as the Austrian Project. They said 18 tanks and bulldozers entered and started tearing down buildings, and more vehicles were lined up outside the camp.

| #4 A sweet white, of course. A Tokay perhaps, or a semi-dry champagne, if you're feeling decadent. Anything dry would taste vinegary beside the syrup, and a red would overwhelm the delicate flavour of the flapjacks. *shit-eating grin* |

| #2 I want a lemon yellow D-9 for Christmas with "Spirit of Rachel" painted on the side. Then when I have too much wine at Christmas dinner I'll drive it out on the yard, elevate the blade as far as it goes, climb up on top of it in my skivvies and scream "I'm king of the world!" until the neighbors call the cops. It's the simple pleasures I live for. |

| #1 Will the Austrians sue now, because the construction they financed has been destroyed? |
