| 2010-01-02 |
| [Ma'an] The An-Nasser Salah Ad-Din Brigades said fighters clashed with Israeli forces in northern Gaza for three hours Thursday morning. The brigades, affiliated with the Popular Resistance Committees, said Israeli troops were "sneaking onto Al-Ghoul land northwest of Beit Lahia" and were surprised by an attack that lasted from 5am to 8am, when the troops withdrew. There were no injuries reported with the brigades. An Israeli military spokeswoman said three armed gunmen opened fire on an Israeli patrol operating in the border area next to the shore in the northern Gaza Strip. She said a naval vessel fired on the men in addition to the ground soldiers, but noted that neither force "confirmed a direct hit." She said there were no damages to Israeli equipment or injuries to soldiers. The brigades said they were ready to block access of Israeli soldiers to the Gaza Strip at any time. |

| #2 Left perceives the world according to narrative, Mike. Facts that don't fit are not consciously ignored---they're subconsciously filtered out. |

| #1 It's amazing how well armed and prepared these Pali militias are when we are told that the Palis are all starving and being oppressed. Odd that they can fire missiles and rockets every day at Israel, but the population has "no food" |
