Additional humor from Gulf Daily News: GAZA CITY: Four Palestinians were killed in northern Gaza yesterday as Israel fired dozens of artillery shells into the territory. Three men died and five other were wounded in a house when a family member brought in and accidentally set off an unexploded Israeli shell that landed near the area, Palestinian security sources said. The sources said the men killed were in their twenties, and two were from the same family. No militants were inside the house, the sources said.
