Despite poor weather, airstrikes continue (Pali propaganda; donkey cart, money-changers targeted)
Ma'an Palestinian news agency ^ | 1-1-09 | Staff

Gaza – Ma’an – Gaza’s Hospitals are the source of the latest dead as yesterday’s wounded head to overcrowded morgues and medical supplies dwindle.

Medical sources put the number of dead at 398.

Among those who succumbed to their wounds on Wednesday were:

*Mahmoud Abu Nahl, who died in an Egyptian hospital

*Ismail Hamdan, a 10-year-old boy who was hit with a missile Tuesday along with his two sisters

*Paramedics Eyhab Al-Madhoun and Mahmoud Abu Hasira who were hit while rescuing civilians

Fresh airstrikes bring more dead

After a several-hour noontime lull Israel resumed airstrikes in the Gaza Strip Wednesday afternoon.

The lull coaxed many families out of their homes to inspect damage, find family or replenish food reserves. By four o’clock however, Israeli strikes resumed and targeted a donkey-cart in Bani Suhayla Square in Khan Younis, killing two and injuring several others.

5:30pm The strikes continued into the evening injuring several when a missile struck Abu Hanifah An-Nu'man Mosque in the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood in western Gaza City, injuring several.

6:00pmMissiles went on to hit a private home in the An-Nusayrat Refugee Camp in central Gaza, and fired on the Zaitoun neighborhood of Gaza City.

9:00pm Later strikes hit three money changers in Gaza City, a home and tunnels in Rafah. There was no immediate word on casualties there.

11:30pm In Jabaliya Fatima Balousha was killed near her home as Israeli warplanes dropped missiles on a Mosque in the area.

11:59pm Two more dead and 60 injured as Israel bombs park near Rafah city.

"Israeli strikes resumed and targeted a donkey-cart in Bani Suhayla Square in Khan Younis, killing two and injuring several others."

Two Palis or two donkeys? Dare we hope that some Reuters or BBC jackasses were included?

Later strikes hit three money changers in Gaza City

I seem to recall another Jew who targeted some money-changers. It was a short distance to the northeast, in Jerusalem. Quite a while back though.

Nice shooting - those 10-year-old boys are squirmy.

Good G-d, people actually believe this crap.

Somehow the writer forgot to mention that despite poor weather Hamas continues to lob rockets into Israel.

RE: Hamas continues to lob rockets into Israel.

Barack Obama, last summer: If someone was sending rockets on my house where my daughters were sleeping at night, I would do everything to stop it, and I would expect Israelis to do the same thing.

I keep hearing UN people telling stories of “the pipeline”. It appears to be discussing the food pipeline but then switches to fuel. The whole concept of a food or fuel pipeline supported to a great extent by millions from the UN is a concept that has contributed greatly to the situation.

I don’t know how much arable land there is in Gaza, but I have a feeling, if the masses living their were divested of their UN pipeline, and asked to grow and or buy their own food, they might just be too busy to be messing around with rockets and the funding for same would be used to feed their faces instead of their anger.

Giving unruly children, what they scream for is not doing them any favors. A dose of reality that will turn their anger on their own kind, is what will be best in the long term IMHO.

All is for nought, purely a waste of money and ordnance if the Gaza arabs are not pushed entirely into Egypt and then locked out of the enlarged Israel.

Good! These Hamas bastards should be bombed back to the stone age. The population of Gaza wanted Hamas in power...now they have them. Like Rush says, "Elections have consequences". You reap what you sow.

He got “hit” with a missile?

Did an Isreali soldier throw the missile at the Pali yoots like a baseball? Or did he swing it like a baseball bat?

He used stolen Iraqi technology.

Curse those Israelis and their donkey-seeking missiles! Must be the US-designed ASS-14 series.
