JERUSALEM, June 24 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said on Monday Israel was preparing "massive activities" against the Islamic militant movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip after killing four of the group's members with a helicopter missile. Israeli security sources said the Gaza attack was part of Israel's policy -- condemned internationally -- of killing militants it blames for suicide bombings and shooting ambushes during a 21-month-old uprising against Israeli occupation. "We are preparing massive activities against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and one could see the start of that this morning," Sharon told a parliamentary committee. But he did not elaborate on military plans. Helicopter gunships fired missiles at a car travelling on the outskirts of the Rafah refugee camp in southern Gaza on Monday. The blast killed six Palestinians, including four Hamas members, two of them senior militants. The missile strike came amid a new Israeli military thrust in the West Bank following suicide bombings that killed 26 Israelis last week.24 JUN 2002 14:59:01 Sharon vows "massive" action against Hamas in Gaza

Media bias alert
I couldnt agree with you more! The women are either potential homicide bombers, or supporters of it. The children are future homicide bombers and Jew haters. None of them are innocent, and if they want to be collateral damage, all the better.
The palis need to be shoved back to a safe distance with a definable and defensible border, which would be the Jordan River. If this was REALLY about a homeland, theyd be spending 80% of their time trying to regain the 80% of their homeland that was taken by Jordan. This is totally about hatred of Jews.
