| Al-Aqsa Martyrs, PLFP bomb Zionist bulldozer in central Gaza Strip |
| 2007-11-30 |
| The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Fatah Movement and the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine claimed responsibility for a joint bombing operation on an Israeli bulldozer east of Deir Al-Balah in the center of Gaza Strip on Thursday. "A joint group of fighters was able of blowing up a large Israeli bulldozer in the east of Deir Al-Balah in the center of Gaza Strip," the two factions said in a joint statement circulated in Gaza city today. The explosion caused severe damage to the machinery used to bulldoze Palestinian agricultural lands, the statement noted. "The process is a continuation of the military action and common response to the crimes of the Israeli occupation continued against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank", said the statement. |

| #5 It has been many months since Israel had any ops requiring bulldozers in this portion of Gaza. It may have been a dozer donated by one of the many charity orgs that send stuff to Gaza (and where the dozer stopped working because a part wore out and didn't get replaced) but, since it is made by Cat, looks like an IDF vehicle. |

| #4 Funny thing though - it wouldn't occur to them that a bulldozer is a piece of construction equipment and could be used for, you know building stuff. |

| #2 Sumthin's fishy. There are no Israeli ops in that area. Perhaps a leftover dozer after the pullout, perhaps too old so it may not have been worth to drag it out. |
