Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Islamic Jihad Leader Buried Amid Violence
2005-10-26
How very appropriate.
Thousands of Palestinian mourners buried one of Islamic Jihad's top leaders Tuesday, a day after he was killed during a shootout with Israeli troops, sparking a new round of violence. Hours after Luay Saadi, the leader of Islamic Jihad's military wing in the West Bank, and a lover close accomplice were killed in a gunfight in the Tulkarem refugee camp in the West Bank, Islamic Jihad militants launched two homemade rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip.

Early Wednesday, Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired another rocket into southern Israel, but there were no reports of injuries. An Israeli aircraft fired at least one missile into an open field in the northern Gaza in response, the army said. The army said the airstrike targeted an area used by militants to launch rockets. No injuries were reported. Several sonic booms caused by Israeli warplanes also were heard in Gaza.

#4  Israel needs to seriously consider using cluster bombs that scatter time-delayed mines over any area used to launch attacks. As increasingly larger areas become off-limits to civilians because a few psychos continue launching mortar and rocket attacks, maybe they'll start repulsing them when they show up to use their property as a launching pad.

If not, maybe all of these morons will have yet another chance to savor the halogenic tang of chlorine in their gene pool.

#2  Instead of wasting good ordinance shooting an empty field, why not sent a telegram saying
"Tag stop you're it stop "
