GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Terrified prisoners fled a Gaza City jail bombed by Israeli warplanes on Sunday, their faces white with dust and red with blood as they stumbled over huge piles of rubble.
Across the territory, grieving families pitched traditional mourning tents of green tarp outside the homes. Yet the rows of chairs inside these tents remained largely empty, as residents cowered indoors for fear of new Israeli strikes. Plumes of gray smoke rising into the sky marked the site of the latest Israeli attacks.
Even for war-weary Gazans, who've lived through countless Israeli incursions, air attacks and months of bitter Palestinian infighting, the latest surprise Israeli air offensive was unusually traumatic. In all, more than 290 people - most of them Hamas policemen, but also 20 children - were killed in some 300 Israeli air attacks over two days.

Either way will get us there, be we democratic secularists or conservative adherents of Judeo-Christianity. We are truly all in this together, to protect freedom.
Bless you - that is the best explnation I have heard in 20 years.
“Does anyone know what kind of fighters the Israelis are using these days? F16, F15 ?”
Think also Mirage and Kfir.
Sounds like you anticipate a next one; or did I misperceive? I know I'm feeling awfully marginalized right about now.
.......I have a head here,” one man yelled as he rushed into the crowded reception area of Shifa Hospital......
He won the head carrying but was scratched from the find the body contest
I, too, am 61 years old and a Jew; born and raised in Texas. I heard a few comments growing up, but nothing that I would classify as anti-Semitic. Today, however, one would hear more anti-Semitic comments amongst our politicians including The Messiah and his cohorts in DC. 99% of Liberals in the US would sell Israel out in a New York minute and that includes the Hollyweird Jews with all their millions. I believe there were Jews that sold out their brothers during the Holocaust. You and I could name some billionaire Jews that would do likewise today. As I said yesterday, God will judge each of them for their actions and they will surely come out sorely lacking. Those that forsake Israel will not be judged favorably by their God.
Jew-hating Jews are the worst Jew-haters in the world today, because they enable the Jihadists to gain ground.
The bombing of the prison sounds like an Israeli-planned prison break to me. To free the PA people?
There is an over-abundance of them here in the USA especially in Hollyweird, NYC, and DC. May God judge them harshly; and he will.
Every time I see those damn pictures of dead Palestinians I get steamed. Where was the news when these homicidal maniacs were and still are - lobbing rockets into Askelon and other Israeli cities.
If it were up to me, the entire bunch of them would be forced out and into Egypt, Syria and Jordan where thye belong.
You’re watching “fair and balanced” media coverage from all the media outlets. Fair means “poor, misunderstood, and without a homeland terrorists”; mean and cruel Israelis.” Same mantra from the Muslim Messiah whose donors are still secret (Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al Qaeda) and his Liberal cohorts. Pelosi, Reid, and their cohorts never met a terrorist they didn’t feel sorry for or want to surrender to.
I would hate to live there in southern Israel and worry everyday if a rocket was going to lay my home and family to waste. It is time to take the bull by the horns and make steaks.
These people are crazy. They should be locked in an insane asylum instead of a "country". Oh, wait a minute. Maybe Gaza is an insane asylum...
Not quite. Their are plenty of anti-Israeli MSM outlets already active around the world, as this posted AP story, written by an Arab crying over the attacks on Gaza, demonstrates.
The Israelis determined their targets carefully in advance, choosing Hamas military sites based upon a year's supply of intelligence. Yet this AP story is designed to evoke sympathy for the "victims" of the Israeli action and falsely make the Israelis look like vicious aggressors.
No mention is made in this AP story of the constant Qassam missile barrages fired from Gaza into Israeli cities and towns, which have caused multiple Israeli civilian casualties ever since Hamas took over Gaza, and even before then.
Not surprisingly, the MSM will just about always propagandize for Arab militants and against Israel's moves to protect her people against Arab and other foreign terror. The MSM will do this regardless of where BO is. Expect the MSM to reporting to get even worse when BO is annointed president.
C'mon, now. Anyone who expects objectivity from an AP reporter, especially one with a name like that, is a nothing but a darn fool.
More likely, to neutralize the Hamas threat before "Osama" Obama is annointed POTUS.
The Israelis captured Gaza during the Six Day War and held it until voluntarily relinquishing it in 2005. That interval was the most stable and productive that Gaza has seen.
Wonder how The Oprah, Streisand, Spielberg, Letterman, and the rest of the millionaire Liberals would like rockets tossed into their backyards by their friends in Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al Qaeda? After all, these bleeding-heart Liberals never met a terrorist they didn’t sympathize with or didn’t want to apologize to or didn’t want to raise money for.
I did some checking up.
The Kfirs are in semi-retirement, they’re in storage.
