GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- A member of Islamic Jihad's military wing was killed late Wednesday in an explosion west of Deir Al-Balah, medics said, in what militants described as an airstrike but Israel's army denied.Ah. Methinks it's Ye Olde Work Accident...
Al-Quds Brigades spokesman Abu Ahmad said an airstrike on a car west of Deir Al-Balah killed Remah Fayez Al-Husseni, 28, a member of the group from Shati refugee camp.
Yeah, an...airstrike! On a...car! That's the ticket!
Abu Ahmad said Israel was trying to "incite the resistance" to respond.
Oh yeah? We'll show those lous...BOOM!
But Israeli military officials denied any involvement in the militant's death. "We had no operations in the Gaza Strip tonight," said Lt.-Col. Avital Leibovich, an army spokeswoman. An airstrike is "not the kind of thing you can hide," she added.
Nope, wudn't us. If it was, believe me, we'd let you know.
It's the 'zoom' before the 'kaboom'...
"This is not the first time we have seen an internal 'work incident' there."
...and it won't be the last.
OMG, they really do call them that. I thought it was just a little Rantburg joke.
Ironic snark is international, dear.
Yes, Grasshopper, they really are work incidents...
Medics said Al-Husseni's body arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital after the blast.
...and his arms sure would've been tired. If he had any. Or was alive...
On Tuesday, a member of the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees died and three others were injured in an Israeli airstrike near Khan Younis, medics said. The An-Nasser Salah Ad-Din Brigades said in a statement that Khaled Samhud, 23, the leader of the artillery unit in the brigades, died after an attack targeting members of the group.
By Allah, take that, you filthy Zio...BOOM!
