| Explosion rips through Beit Hanoun |
| 2007-09-23 |
| (KUNA) -- A large explosion ripped through the town of Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, late Friday evening, apparently the result of Israeli shelling, witnesses said Saturday. They added that the explosion hit the building of the agriculture union, destroying a large part of it and some of the nearby houses. No casualties were reported, they said. The agriculture union is a non-governmental organization that helps Palestinian farmers gain access to fertilizers and seeds at lower prices, thus assisting them in rehabilitating their farmlands. The witnesses noted that the bombing coincided with the hovering of Israeli helicopters overhead. |

| #9 They must, JFM. They'd been selling vegetables -- cucumbers and tomatoes, I think -- to Israel. It causes terrible problems for them when the border crossings are closed after the children misbehave The day they will have to work for living instead of relying on international aid then there will be peace in Middle East. There will not be as enthousiastic in firing at Israel they day they will have to pay their ammo from their own pockets. |

| #5 cucumbers and tomatoes Arrrrgh! You've put them side by side, you Zionist hussy! Personally, I think all that the Israelis did was drop a lit match on the place and then quickly back away from the secondaries. |
