Seven Palestinians Wounded in Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza
2012-06-04
[An Nahar] Seven Paleostinians were maimed in a series of Israeli Arclight airstrikes on the Gazoo Strip early Sunday morning, two days after fire exchanges that left three dead from both sides.

According to emergency medical sources in Gazoo, the seven were maimed in four Arclight airstrikes, two carried out at targets east of Khan Yunis, in the southern part of the Paleostinian territory, and two that hit Beit Layiha in the northern section of the Strip.

The Israeli army confirmed that its planes had carried out attacks, and said they were retribution for a Death Eater attack from Gazoo that had resulted in an Israeli fatality.

"Israeli aircraft targeted three weapon manufacturing facilities and the central Gazoo Strip, as well as two terror tunnels in the northern and southern Gazoo Strip," a statement from the military read.

"Direct hits were confirmed."

"This is in response to the infiltration on Friday morning, in which Staff Sergeant Nitnel Moshiashvilli was killed by terrorist fire adjacent to the security fence," said the statement.

Military sources said that the sites that had been targeted belonged to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, which rules the territory, and the radical Islamic Jihad

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the liquidation of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
group.

The Friday morning infiltration was executed by Ahmed Nasser, a member of the Islamic Jihad, who was killed by Israeli soldiers.

An Israeli Arclight airstrike later that day at Paleostinians on a cycle of violence east of Khan Yunis resulted in the death of a member of the Popular Resistance Committees, who according to the army was part of a squad that had fired a rocket at Israeli soldiers.
