Thirteen Israeli air strikes hit Gaza Strip
BBC ^ | Apr 2, 2010 | Unknown

Israeli warplanes have carried out at least 13 air strikes on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources have told the BBC.

Four of the strikes took place near the town of Khan Younis, where two Israeli soldiers were killed in clashes with Palestinian fighters last week.

The Israeli strikes are the most serious for more than a year, says the BBC's Jon Donnison from Jerusalem.

Three children were reported slightly injured by flying debris.

The director of ambulance and emergency in the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Dr Muawiya Hassanein, said an infant was among the injured.

Witnesses and Hamas officials said the Israeli raids targeted metal workshops , farms, a milk factory and small sites belonging to the military wing of Hamas.

'Retaliation'

Palestinian news agencies reported that Israeli aircraft dropped leaflets over parts of Gaza on Thursday warning residents of retaliation for last Friday's killings of the soldiers in Khan Younis.

That's impossible. He was under the safety net of our defense network, dismantling it as fast as he could.

He even took time for fresh attacks on our energy, manufacturing, confiscated the student loan industry, and made bold new moves to undermine our nation's defenses.

No, The Infant is alive and growing like some demonic tape worm.

Thanks-that’s the best news I’ve heard this year. A real shame he didn’t suffer more though...

In the first place, if you have never been there, you must know that that Palestinians produce NOTHING

Not to disagree with the general statement, but a few years back ('04-'05) in a lumber order, I received about a dozen sheets of very high quality Okume plywood in my order.

Okume comes with a Lloyds stamp that identifies the grade and country of manufacturing - in this case BS1088, and manufactured in Palestine.

The sheets were gorgeous, with a more consistent "show veneer" on each side than I can commonly find.

As I generally finish the entire topside/interior of my boats bright (varnished, with a minimum of 10 coats, over a layer of 4oz fiberglass), the wood grain and quality of the laminate is critical to me, and I am often disappointed.

I couldn't stop wondering why the Palestinians couldn't be productive and talented neighbors.

Childish thoughts to be sure, as I don't need to look past my own state for government mandates that nurture institutional conflict and mediocrity, all in the name of controlling and subduing what God has given freely, with no limits.
