Excerpts:
...On Thursday morning, about 50 tanks, accompanied by bulldozers, pushed into an area near the Gaza-Egypt border before dawn, taking up positions near the long-closed Gaza airport, residents and Palestinian security officials said. The forces advanced about eight kilometres, the farthest since the offensive started in late June, blocking a main highway and the eastern entrance to Rafah, a town on the Egyptian border....
I can think of only one reason why the Israeli's are making use of bulldozers in this latest offensive and its not to recover the captured Israeli soldier. Israel's use of bulldozers is for one reason alone: deepening its illegal occupation of Palestine.
...Later, forces fired a tank shell at residents gathering in the area after daybreak, killing an 8-year-old boy and wounding three people, one a 4-year-old girl, hospital and security officials said. Three more bodies were brought to the hospital early Thursday, but they were not believed to be militants, medics said...(Source:SARAH EL DEEB, Associated Press, Globe and Mail, Aug 3/06)
Did I read this right, the Israeli's fired a tank shell at a 8 year-old boy and 4 year old girl??? Geez, aren't the Israeli's a brave and heroic bunch. Is anyone keeping count of the number of blatant war crimes Israel's has committed in this latest offensive alone? I've lost count.
