Thirteen Israeli air strikes hit Gaza Strip
BBC ^ | Apr 2, 2010 | Unknown

Israeli warplanes have carried out at least 13 air strikes on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources have told the BBC.

Four of the strikes took place near the town of Khan Younis, where two Israeli soldiers were killed in clashes with Palestinian fighters last week.

The Israeli strikes are the most serious for more than a year, says the BBC's Jon Donnison from Jerusalem.

Three children were reported slightly injured by flying debris.

The director of ambulance and emergency in the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Dr Muawiya Hassanein, said an infant was among the injured.

Witnesses and Hamas officials said the Israeli raids targeted metal workshops , farms, a milk factory and small sites belonging to the military wing of Hamas.

'Retaliation'

Palestinian news agencies reported that Israeli aircraft dropped leaflets over parts of Gaza on Thursday warning residents of retaliation for last Friday's killings of the soldiers in Khan Younis.

Will Israel be able to sustain herself after being cut off from all foreign trade and support?

“Hurting” the Muzzies won’t stop them. KILLING them will.

Perhaps Hamas lied? You think? In the first place, if you have never been there, you must know that that Palestinians produce NOTHING! If you go into the arab markets, you will see only Israeli products and antiquities (stolen no doubt.)

They managed to go it alone during the war of independence. I'm betting they can do it again. Google the Jewish Virtual Library to see their story.

The BBC never reports on Hamas terrorists getting their comeuppance, but if a "child" gets even a small scratch they're all over it.

Did the BBC report on the Palistians dancing in the streets in celebration after 9/11 when many civilians, women and children were killed? I saw it, and I have no remorse to rejoice in, "turn about is fair play". At least, Israel dropped leaflets to warn them of coming actions.

"How many milk factories do muslims own, and why are they targets for American and Israeli missiles?"

Does Gaza even have a dairy industry or even dairy cows?

Same milk factory. Just moved it from Sudan to Gaza. Hope they didn’t manufacturer Milky Way bars. Oh the horror of it.

Probably just made Kassam rockets to kill Israelis. No big deal, MSM. Move on to another smear against Israel.

The Israelis bombed the shit out of the milk factory because rockets were being made there.

Its not their fault that the Milk Factory let Hamas make rockets there.

There's a milk factory on every street corner. Sometimes they just call them Israel Bomb Magnets.
