Israel launches new strike

Israeli helicopter gunships have fired missiles near Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah.

A BBC correspondent in the town says that a large hole was blown in the wall of the compound, and two people are reported injured.

It is not known whether Mr Arafat was there at the time.

The attack is the latest Israeli retaliation since last weekend's suicide bombs in Haifa and Jerusalem which left at least 25 Israelis dead. Israel blames Mr Arafat for not preventing such attacks.

On Monday, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon won his cabinet's backing to declare the Palestinian Authority an "entity that supports terror

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves

That'd be Arafat for sure. Although I know that's not what you meant. I ain't forgetting where YOUR screen-name came from. It rounds out your posting personality very adequately.

From the Jerusalem Post.

IAF attacks spread to Gaza sites

Helicopters and F-16 jets shelled and machine gunned PA Preventive Security Service installations in Gaza City and the Khan Yunis refugee camp a few minutes ago, Palestinian sources said.
One Palestinian Authority officer was killed and some 20 Palestinians were wounded in the airstrike.
The wounded were being brought to Shifa Hospital.
At about the same time, IAF helicopters shelled a Palestinian security installation in the West Bank town of Salfit and Tulkarm.
There were no reports of injuries.

Truly! They have a guy overlooking the entire city, showing LIVE ISRAELI ATTACKS. Then they have a girl reporting live from the scene of the various points of attack literally minutes after the fact. Great stuff.

They may be lefties, but it is times like these that keep CNN ahead of the rest. Why is FoxNews always so late to the party when Israel is involved?

CNN is desperately trying to insinuate that Israel has bombed heavily populated *refugee* camps. No matter what they do well, they never fail to insert____bias here.

Didn't here that, though it would not surprise me in the least. The most madenning was on Saturday after the Jerusalem bombings. This stupid host (woman on after Leon) is grilling the living sh!t out of Bibi, while letting the Pali talking head dominate the conversation. Then at the end of it, she is practically falling over herself to thank the paliban spinster for his time, while not even coming close to having the same level of respect for Bibi. I was literally ready to kick in my TV at that point.

This is an absolutely amazing bunch of stuff. Where are all the people who said Israel could never fight a surgical war inside her own borders? Even CNN can only report 2, that's TWO, deaths, and Israel has been bombing for a couple of hours now. They are also reporting that the place where Arafat is hiding HAS been hit. HAS BEEN HIT TWICE!

Exclusive interview with Arafat is on right now, live from the building that just got smoked. Wow, I should be sleeping, but this coverage is simply too great to miss.

I know. Between Afghanistan and Israel, I have the computer on, the radio, the TV and a chair that whirls. Couldn't sleep if my life depended on it.
