Israel 'Foils Scuba Dive Attack' [Four Shot Dead]
BBCNews ^ | June 06, 2010

Israel 'Foils Scuba Dive Attack' 7 June 2010 Israel's navy has shot and killed four Palestinians wearing diving gear off the Gaza coast, officials say.

The Israeli military says it believes those on board were planning a "terrorist attack". Hamas officials in Gaza say four bodies have been recovered and two people are missing.

Israel controls and occupies the sea off the coast of Gaza despite having withdrawn its forces from the territory in 2005.

The country's Haaretz newspaper quoted an Israeli army source as saying the incident took place at about 0430 local time (0130 GMT) and that the boat was heading north to Israel from waters off the Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said there were no Israeli casualties.

The BBC's Jon Donnison, in the West Bank town of Ramallah, says it is not yet clear exactly what has happened.

Good ol' BBC, being sure to hint that "terrorist attack" is just poor semantics.

Finally, a deployment I would LOVE to go in support of.

Prayers up for the brave people of Israel.

Kinda gives new meaning to the old Lloyd Bridges TV show “Sea Hunt” that I used to watch as a kid.

Oh my...those people are just brutal. Imagine, killing people because they are going to attack; that is just so barbaric. /s

I like the sneer quotes around the words “terrorist attack” in the article. Palestinians might be undertaking a terrorist attack against Israel? How ridiculous.

I guess that means that when the divers get their 72 virgins, they'll join the "mile deep club"...?

Cheers!

The BBC will end up reporting that the Israelis murdered Jacque Mohammed Cousteau and his crew while they were in the process of making a documentary about the Israelis' destruction of sea life off the coast of Gaza.

Yes, they are. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, they embedded some of their journalists with the insurgents.

Pass the popcorn please. Wish I could deploy to Israel and help defend their border but I don’t see my Commander in Chief authorizing that anytime soon

I am still trying to figure out why 72 virgins feeding a guy grapes for eternity is a reward worth aspiring to.
I mean how many grapes can one person handle, let alone seek as an eternal reward.
