THE DETAILSFour Killed in Israeli Helicopter Strike on Gaza Refugee Camp
Thursday, December 05, 2002
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip An Israeli army helicopter fired a missile into a two-story building in Bourrej refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing four people and wounding at least 10, hospital officials said Friday.
Israeli troops moved into the camp early Friday with tanks backed by helicopters. The army said it was conducting a targeted operation.
Inside the camp an intense gunbattle broke out between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen, spurred on by calls through mosque loudspeakers urging people to come out and fight the troops.
Hassan Safi, 49, said he was 300 yards away in his home when the missile hit.
"I rushed with my sons to the place which was all destroyed, I myself took out two people, the helicopter was firing with machine guns at us, making it difficult to move," Safi said.
The army had knocked out the electricity source for the camp and ambulances were having difficulty reaching the area.

Well, what would YOU do if your home was being attacked? Sit by and let them lob missles into it?

And why is their home being attacked? You think the Israelis did this just for the hell of it? Gaza is spoiling for a fight and this will come soon enough. But for now now Israel is probing to see what stuff the Jihadist scum of Gaza are made of.
Well, what would YOU do if your home was being attacked?
Their home is being attacked because it's a home of Jew killers. 'Nuff said!

Bingo. Israelis homeland is being attacked. Nobody can expect the Israelis to do anything but continue to defend themselves from these crazed palestinian terrorists.

(article:)a targeted operation
This was NOT a "general" attack on the camp and only those specifically targetted had a missile fired at them. The other actions- gunships, power outage -were designed to keep the rest of the population AWAY FROM the target area... (article:)the helicopter was...making it difficult to move," Safi said. The army had knocked out the electricity ... and ambulances were having difficulty reaching the area.
