Israeli ground forces backed by warplanes exchanged fire with Hamas
gunmen in the northern Gaza Strip on Thursday, killing a teacher and
six militants in escalating violence that is hobbling peace efforts.
School Kids Or Terroristts?
Israels claimed all the students were militants.
A Teacher Was Killed
The 38-year-old Palestinian teacher was killed Thursday when an
Israeli surface-to-surface missile struck an agricultural school in
the northern town of Beit Hanoun, Hamas security forces said.
Ehud Barak The Defense Minister
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak vowed harsher military action
should Gaza militants persist with their rocket fire at southern
Israel.
"If the Qassam (rocket) fire continues, we will intensify our
activity, and the other side's losses, until we resolve the Qassam
rocket problem," he said.
The Jews say these kids can see militants launching rockets, and so
they are guilty too.
It Was An Accident
The Israeli military said it opened fire in the area at a group of
rocket launchers. It denied firing at a school.
Retaliation For Palestinian Attack
Israelis claim that in Jan 2008, a 73 yr old, Ruth Bladderstein,
died from a Quassum rocket. Residents of Sederot said there was no
rocket, and suspect her husband.
