Israeli air strike kills Palestinians
2006-05-06
Five Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a training camp used by an armed resistance group in the Gaza Strip, further dampening peace prospects. The Israeli military said the strike on Friday targeted a camp used by the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), an umbrella group of activists often blamed for firing makeshift rockets into Israel. "There was an aerial attack on a training compound of the PRC while terrorists were training there," an Israeli military spokeswoman said.

The air strike scattered body parts and left pools of blood in a field just metres away from the home of Moumtaz Dourghmush, the top commander in the PRC. Dourghmush was not at the scene, but a brother and three cousins were among the dead, hospital officials said. Abu Mujahid, an official with the group, said at least three missiles landed on the field as members were training. "God willing, this is not going to stop our heroic battle against the Zionists, and the blood is the fuel of our resistance and our reprisal is coming soon," he said.

"Five Palestinians have been killed...further dampening peace prospects."

#10  acutally, al-jizz should have written either:

paleos were actively training to attack Israel, further dampening peace prospects

-or-

Israel preemptively attacked would-be terrorists, thereby enabling more moderate paleos to further the peace process

Well, isn't that sort of the point of these airstrikes?

#6  My prospects of not being deeply unmoved by the sudden aerial-enabled departure of paleo Activists(tm) are further dampening, or so I think.

Me, I think of this, as "Paleos going, Peace coming.".

#3  further dampening peace prospects.

It causes my mind to boggle at how gullible you need to be to believe that this actually "dampened" peace prospects.
