ISRAELI GUNSHIPS KILL TWO TEENAGERS

Israeli helicopter gunships have fired three missiles into a Palestinian orchard in the Gaza Strip and killed two teenagers.

Witnesses said two helicopters struck the orchard located near the road between the Khan Younis and Rafah refugee camps just after dark. A Palestinian man was also wounded.

A senior Israeli security source confirmed the air strike, saying: "I can confirm we hit three wanted men."

But Palestinian medical officials said the dead were Mohammed Kawara, 14, and Abdullah a-Najar, 19.

They claimed that neither they nor the wounded man were known to be members of militant groups waging a 27-month-old uprising for Palestinian independence in the West Bank and Gaza.

According to Palestinian witnesses, two members of the Islamic militant group Hamas were at the scene in a car but were shielded from the first missile by a tree and managed to flee.

The Israeli army had no immediate comment.

2 less terrorists.

The Palestinians should stop putting their people at risk by stopping the suicide bombings. Only the Palistinian terrorists can be blamed.

Teenagers

Understood, Archie and Veronica in the malt shop.

Teenagers? Notice the "pull at the heartstrings" title by SkyNews. It makes it seem that the 19 year old man was just a widdle boy.

Last summer Sky News had a headline when Israelis were blown up that said "Bomb explodes in Tel Aviv" and the victims were mostly grade schoolers.

Since when do the Pals care about children being killed?

Captured terrorist infiltrator was 8-year-old boy

Arafat probably personally gave then t-shirts with big red targets on them. No offense to the fine retailer Target.

Since when do the Pals care about children being killed?

The PA and Hamas actually like it when their children are killed, and that's why they're used as human shields as often as they are. They're sacrifcied to the god of Public Relations.

[PokeyJoe]

Damn, missed that third one.

[Mixer]

Since the Palis insist on sending 8 and 13 year olds to do their dirty work these unfortunate things will happen from time to time.

[yonif]

Another example that shows how the terrorists use the people they claim to be fighting for, as human shields by surronding themselves with them and traveling with them.

"They're sacrifcied to the god of Public Relations. "

And most of western europe is falling for it.

ISRAELI GUNSHIPS KILL TWO TEENAGERS

Sky News is a bunch of crap. Israeli media is reporting that they are wanted men. It just occured and Sky News should not make conclusions based on Palestinian terrorist propaganda. The least they could have done was put that headline in quotes. The article is biased, none the less, but this is not surprising.

[Mr. Mojo]

Western Europe falls for it because they want to fall for it, and there is nothing either we or the Israelis can do to change that. The Euros will never change, and hitting them with logic is useless. Americans and Israelis should just forget PR and concentrate on the business at hand.

[b4its2late]

It doesn't matter what age these terrorists are. A teenager can carry just as much explosive as the typical Koran-spouting, virgin-fantasizing, reality-challenged publicity-seeking homicide/suicide nutjob terrorist.

Oh stop, I'm snortin' coffee !!

LOL!!
