| 2010-04-09 |
| [Ma'an] The de facto government in Gaza must take measures to protect civilians from projectile fire in the Strip, the Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights said in relation to the injury of civilians from projectile fire from Gaza factions on Wednesday. Not Hated Zionist civilians, of course. They don't exist. They're strictly talking about Paleostinian civilians. The Gaza governmetn "is legally obliged to provide protection to civilians and civilian objects under the international humanitarian law...and law enforcement persons [must therefore] take necessary procedures to protect civilians and their properties," Al-Mezan concluded after investigations into the incident. According to the report, four, and not five civilians were injured on Wednesday when a misfired projectile hit Beit Hanoun homes in the Gaza Strip. A father and two children, were among the injured, the document said, when at approximately 8:10pm a home-made projectile fell on the Ghassan Kanafani Development Institution in the Al Amal neighborhood, northeast of Beit Hanoun. The organization identified the injured as: Mohammed Monzir Al-Amawi,16, shrapnel in the legs and left hand Emad Mohammed Sabir Abu Oda,38, shrapnel in the thigh and the groin Mahmoud Hussein Nasir,57, shrapnel in the left hand Nasim Mahmoud Nasir,27, shrapnel in the abdomen Can't be right. No one was injured in the feet. Further, the report said, two homes were partially damaged in the incident. One of the houses is home to 56 civilians, and belongs to Mahmoud Hussein Nasir. The second building is home to 20 civilians, and belongs to Izzat Abdel Karem Ekhtawat, the Al-Mezan report said. |

| #4 Don't pay attention to these guys, boyz. They're Kumbaya human rights people. What do they know about rocketing Zionists? Keep shooting the "projectiles" straight up. They go farther. Trust me, it's in the Kopran... |

| #2 Not Hated Zionist civilians, of course. They don't exist. Well, Fred, their Western friends might reasonably point out that they are a Center for Human Rights . |
