GAZA CITY (CNN) -- Witnesses and Palestinian security sources say about 50 Israeli tanks have rolled into the Gaza city of Rafah near the Egyptian border.

At least five houses were destroyed and five people were wounded during the operation late Thursday.

The sources said Israeli Apache helicopters flew overhead and sprayed machine gun fire into homes and at the streets of the city.

The tanks went into the center of the city as well as the refugee camp there, they said.

Its getting Uglier & uglier :bounce:

to think that anyone can justify these actions. Spraying "...machine gun fire into homes..." Where is the logic in any of this?

:wtf:

I'm beyond used to this and it still disgusts me the same each time.

:bounce:

You can't even envision that they might be shooting BACK at those who are shooting at them. No, that NEVER happens...

being anything other than an apologist for genocide

Neither side deserves my compassion.

to encompass all of the Middle East. Then we give them as many weapons as they desire and leave 'em alone to kill each other uninterrupted for ten years. Then we tear down the wall, find the last guy standing and kill him before he has time to tell us which side he was on.

Yeah, there are days when the disgust grows so great. . . then you put aside the fantasies and move on.

With the billions in foreign aid.. it is shameful that we may have bought those tanks.

Israeli troops storm Gaza refugee camp
Friday 10 October 2003

Three Palestinians are dead, including a 12 year old girl, and 28 wounded after another Israeli invasion of the Rafah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

Fighting erupted as Israel sent dozens of tanks into the Rafah refugee camp early on Friday on a mission, it said, aimed at destroying tunnels Palestinians used to smuggle weapons.

According to Palestinian security officials, one of the dead is 23-year- old Muhammad Abd al-Wahaba. He was killed when an Israeli Appache fired missiles in the Ybna district demolishing two homes.

Included in the wounded are two women, hit while they were in their homes, and a child injured in the back.

The condition of the women is said to be serious.
