Palestinians Say Israel Missile Kills Four

there are rockets... and there are ROCKETS!

---------------------

RAFAH, Gaza Strip - Israeli aircraft fired missiles into a militants' training camp Friday, killing four men and wounding seven, Palestinian security officials said.

One of the missiles hit a car in the camp in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, on the border with Egypt.

The Israeli military had no comment.

Palestinian security officials said Israeli aircraft fired four missiles at the camp, run by the Popular Resistance Committees, a militant group responsible for attacks on Israeli targets in the past.

1. Gaza: 6 killed in IAF attack

Air Force strikes Popular Resistance Committees training facility in city of Rafah; at least six Palestinians killed, including senior group commander and two children. IDF sources: Attack aimed at vehicle carrying terror activists

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3237483,00.html

<snip>

"Israel assassinated a senior commander of the Popular Resistance Committees Friday evening in the Gaza Strip city of Rafah. The man, Iyad Abu-Aynan, was killed along with his wife, son and nephew, and another two Palestinian gunmen.

Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip reported that Israel Air Force helicopters fired a number of missiles at a vehicle in an area serving as a training facility of the Salah al-Din Brigades, the Popular Resistance Committees' military wing."

3. From the same article...

"The last IAF strike against terrorists in the Gaza Strip took place on March 6. Two senior Islamic Jihad members were killed in the attack, which also killed three children who were standing next to the terrorists' vehicle."

The formula seems to be to drop the word 'terrorists' into things and then add as a ps that children were also killed. It's unrealistic to demand that Hamas renounces violence while the IDF continues to kill with impunity...

4. More State terrorism, more war crimes, more infanticide.

'>snip

Many of those wounded Friday were believed to be civilians, though no figure was immediately available.

Reuters reported that the child who was killed in the attack was one of Mr. Aynin's children and said he had taken them to the base to observe training exercises.

Initial reports said the body was that of his 7-year-old daughter, but Reuters said medics reported that later the family identified the body as the 5-year-old son and said it was not clear if the daughter was among the wounded.'

5. This was not "infaticide."

Although they were not infants, it is a tragedy, nonetheless.

6. Infanticide refers to the killing of children

not merely the killing of infants, as we now commonly use the word. But even if you simply call it collateral damage, why should it be acceptable to you? If it's not acceptable for Palestinians to kill Israeli children, intellectual consistency would seem to demand that the killing of Palestinian children meet with equal outrage.

7. Did you read what I wrote?

Edited on Sat Apr-08-06 05:02 AM by Behind the Aegis

"Infanticide" is the killing of "infants," which are generally defined as "a child in the earliest period of life, especially before he or she can walk." While you claim it is the "common use" of the word (the killing of children not merely the killing of infants), that is still not what the word means.

At what point does my declaration of "(a)lthough they were not infants, it is a tragedy, nonetheless." translate into my "...simply call(ing) it collateral damage" and finding it "...acceptable...?!"

"If it's not acceptable for Palestinians to kill Israeli children, intellectual consistency would seem to demand that the killing of Palestinian children meet with equal outrage." This was a 'strawman' of your own creation!

10. 14 Palestinians killed in IDF missile strikes in Gaza

<snip>

"Fourteen Palestinians were killed in three separate Israel Defense Forces missile strikes in the Gaza Strip over the weekend.

An Israeli missile air strike killed six militants and wounding at least five others at a training camp for gunmen in the Gaza Strip witnesses said, hours after two Palestinian militants died in an air raid that Israel said was aimed at rocket launchers."

<snip>

"The strikes came a day after an Israel Air Force aircraft fired missiles into a car in southern Gaza, killing five militants and a 5-year-old boy."

13. I guess things must be too quiet.

Maybe the attempts at diplomacy were becoming too successful, so Ehud took a leaf
out of Jabba's playbook, 'Escalate, Escalate, Escalate'.
