Ten Palestinians killed in Israel Air Force strikes in Gaza
Ten Palestinians were killed in several separate Israel Defense Forces attacks in northern Gaza on Wednesday, witnesses and medics reported.

The Israel Air Force reported carrying out an air strike in the northern Gaza town of Jabalya after militants fired an anti-tank missile at Israeli forces. Witnesses said an Israeli tank had fired on the crowd.

A three-year-old child and members of a force led by the governing Hamas movement were among those killed.

Earlier Wednesday, IAF strikes in Gaza killed two militants, one from Hamas and one from Islamic Jihad, medics said.

About 50 Israel Defense Forces tanks moved back into northern Gaza early Wednesday as part of Operation Samson's Pillars.

1. Air Strikes against a enemy with no Air Force, IMO = Cowardly

3. Afraid to comment
Due to the inevitable accusations which will be hurled at any who dare. The timid stand mute, the more daring are quickly defamed as haters of an entire race. A crowd of apologists, with fresh reinforcements prowl the board, alert for any who would dare to defend the innocents (and the perhaps not so innocent) at the receiving end of the tons of bombs unleashed upon them. It would appear that an entire population could not be guilty, but perhaps they simply chose to live in the wrong part of the world and should pay with their lives, their families and their all their worldly property for that transgression. Strange are the ways of the Middle East.

4. The sad thing is the world isn't watching anymore...
All eyes are on Lebanon while the growing death toll in Gaza is going virtually unnoticed....
