| [NY Times] An Israeli laborer who was repairing the security fence along the border with Gazoo was fatally shot on Tuesday by a Paleostinian sniper, according to the Israeli military, and Israel immediately responded with A Paleostinian girl, Hala Abu Sbeikha, 3, was killed and at least four of her relatives were maimed when a shell landed in front of their home in the Maghazi refugee camp in the central part of Gazoo, according to local hospital officials. The deaths were the latest in a growing wave of Israeli-Paleostinian violence that is accompanying the difficult, American-brokered peace talks now underway. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel had warned that the killing of the laborer would not go unanswered and that Israel would "respond with force." He spoke during a visit earlier Tuesday to Sderot, the Israeli town about a mile from the Gazoo border that has been subjected to Paleostinian rocket fire for years. |
