Two Israelis killed as terrorists infiltrate Nahal Oz
2008-04-09
Two Israelis were killed when at least four Palestinian terrorists infiltrated the Nahal Oz fuel terminal from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. The two were employed at the terminal, which supplies the Gaza Strip with most of its fuel.
hmmmm, and there's that other post where the Paleos are whining over lower fuel deliveries. Cause<=>Effect thing still incomprehensible to the Paleos
IDF troops and emergency medical teams, who arrived on the scene, came under heavy gun and mortar fire.

One of the terrorists was killed by the IDF in the terminal, and at least two others fled back to the Gaza Strip. In a swift response, the military dispatched aircraft which hit a car carrying at least one of the terrorists. According to a Hamas spokesman, the man was seriously injured. The army said two of the attackers were killed in the strike.

The army said that the terrorists' objective was probably to kidnap Israelis to Gaza and use them as a bargaining chip.
cuz Shalit is dead
Military sources said that the terrorists had cut the fence and entered Israel, and added that there were no signs of a tunnel near the site of the attack. In recent days, Hamas has threatened several times that it would breach the border.

#2  I think it's time for Israel to deliver as much gas as possible to Gaza - in the form of napalm. When the fires die down, Israeli troops can go in and see if there's anything worth recycling.

#1  The head of the Palestinian Fuel Suppliers' Association, Mahmoud al-Khuzundar, said reserves of benzine and diesel had been depleted, leaving only enough cooking gas for two days. "If Nahal Oz closes for a few days, the crisis in Gaza will get worse, he said.

Awwwww. That's too bad.
