#1 In another development, an Israeli drone launched a missile at an unoccupied area in Gaza Strip. Palestinian sources an Israeli F-16 warplane launched the missile which did not result in any casualties or damage. The sources added that Palestinian security forces abandoned some of their locations in northern Gaza Strip after Israeli threats to bombard the posts. As Israeli warplanes are currently patrolling Gaza's skies, Israeli tanks continue bombarding the strip's northern part in what Israeli security sources termed as retaliation for launching missiles towards Asqalan city that led to injuring and terrifying a number of Israelis.

#2 Abu Quka, a leader of either the PFLP or a smaller group (MSM is a tad unclear) was killed in Gaza when his car exploded. Some are blaming the IDF, but apparently many of his followers are blaming the PA Preventive Security Services, and are attacking them on the streets of Gaza.

I'll have mine without butter and salt, this time.

#8 Haaretz now says four dead.

Abu Yousef Abu Quka, was apparently tied to Hamas.

The PA (ie Hamas) cabinet is holding an emergency meeting, and vows to "get weapons off the street" And to think, some people said irony was dead.
