| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I guess when you declare the fighting over and your opponent has vowed to keep fighting, then these kind of attacks go with the territory. It is past time to bring true relief to the Palestinian peopleso that they won't need to turn to terrorism for jobs.

What kind of jobs can be safely brought in? I have no clue! They tend to destroy any help except for weapons.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- A Palestinian fighter died in a clash with Israeli troops and Israeli aircraft struck two targets in Gaza early Monday as mediators tried to firm up a long-term Gaza cease-fire a day before Israelis go to the polls in a national election.

The militant group Islamic Jihad said in a statement faxed to reporters that one of its fighters was killed overnight in an Israeli airstrike. The Israeli military said troops spotted an armed militant trying to cross the Gaza-Israel border late Sunday and opened fire, after which a bomb belt he was wearing detonated.

Israeli aircraft struck two militant positions in the territory early Monday, in what the military said was retaliation for rocket fire from Gaza on Sunday. No injuries were reported in the aerial attacks.

About Me

Belisarius

This is my place to vent a little and get things off my chest. I am a retired Marine who has interests in WMDs. Since WMD events are, thankfully, few in number, I spend a lot of time reading about people likely to use them. This takes me on some interesting tangents. I travel alot in my post retirement career and do not always have time to comment as I post articles. Give me a day or two to catch up if I skip comments, please.
