Palestinians warn Israel to stay away from Lebanon camps |
2006-08-03 |
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction yesterday renewed warnings that its fighters would retaliate if Israeli forces approached refugee camps during their offensive in Lebanon. “If Israeli forces should approach the entrance of our camps, we will react with weapons,” Fatah’s Lebanon representative Sultan Abul Aynain said from the Rashidiyah camp, south of the port city of Tyre. Abul Aynain predicted some “very difficult” times this week as Israel intensifies its offensive before a diplomatic push to bring hostilities to an end. “Israel wants to achieve gains in very little time although it could not, since July 12, neutralise Hezbollah fighters and liberate the two captured soldiers,” he said. The Israeli security cabinet gave orders early yesterday for a broadening of Israel’s ground offensive, launched after the two soldiers were seized in a deadly cross-border raid by the Shi’ite militants of Hezbollah. A total of 828 people have died in the three-week-old offensive, according to an official toll. Abul Aynain already warned that Palestinian fighters might join the conflict in a July 24 interview with satellite news channel Al-Arabiya. “None of us can be except at the centre of the battle if Israel invades south Lebanon,” he said at the time. |

#11 "we will react with weapons" ROTFLMAO, it's like a Monty Python or Saturday Night Live skit. For some reason I hear it in my head with a French accent. |

#5 My G-d, we need to teach these f***ing morons a lesson. We don't need to hit ein-el-hellhole so much as we need to carpet-bomb Damascus and Ramallah. I'd just love to see Abbas' face when one of his underlings reports that 20 B-52's are approaching Ramallah at 48K. Or Asshat's, getting the same information about Damascus. Or even better, Nastyraller hearing that the combined force from three US carriers are approaching Beirut. We COULD screw up the entire middle east and offer Israel to become the 51st state of the US, and watch turbans spin tight enough to squeeze blood from a rock. The Ayrabs need to learn they're not the most important people on the face of this earth, and that if they don't learn to play nice, they'll be eliminated - all at once, or one at a time. |

#3 How do the Israelis keep from responding outright laughter by these empty thtreats? Respond with weapons? Sounds like Sultan Abul Aynain wants to become the next Ex-Paleo official. |

#2 They've been in 'camps' for how long now?! By the way, if I were them, I'd be less worried about the Israelis and more worried about reconstituted Phalangie groups. |

#1 “If Israeli forces should approach the entrance of our camps, we will react with weapons,” Abul Aynain already warned that Palestinian fighters might join the conflict Well, that sounds like an invitation, doesn'it? |
