...* Preventing Israel from monitoring and closing off the tunnels Palestinian terror groups have dug along the border with Egypt. When Corrie was killed she was trying to block an IDF tractor carving a path in the direction of these underground tunnels.

...Before daybreak yesterday, about 30 Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles entered the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Ms Corrie was among eight protesters at the site -- four American and four British.
Israeli military spokesman Capt Jacob Dallal said Ms Corrie's death was an accident. Soldiers were seeking tunnels for weapons smuggling.
The military said because of the small windows in the giant, armoured bulldozer, the driver could not see her.

...Israeli officials said the protesters were repeatedly warned with loudspeakers to move from the demolition areas, but they followed the bulldozers from site to site to try to block them.
The bulldozers are outfitted to withstand explosive booby-traps as they root out underground tunnels used by terrorists.
Their drivers have limited sight distance because of the armor, which contributed to Corrie's death, the officials said.
Corrie was wearing a brightly colored jacket when she died.
