Boy hurt during Rafah operation; Qassam hits Gaza settlement

[Gimel]

An 11-year-old Palestinian boy was shot in the head and critically injured on Wednesday when Israeli troops fired machine guns as cover for bulldozers demolishing houses in the Rafah area of the Gaza Strip, witnesses and doctors said. The army said it was destroying a tunnel meant to smuggle weapons under the border with Egypt.


IDF troops reportedly also opened fire on armed Palestinians near Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, injuring two, one seriously.

The army demolished houses in the Rafah refugee camp, continuing an operation there to clamp down on militant activity. The IDF said that the buildings were used to launch terror strikes.

Earlier on Wednesday, a Qassam rocket hit a Gaza settlement. No injuries were reported but several houses were lightly damaged.

4. Be careful what you wish for

you just may get it.

If you don't think the Palestinian people won't have to rely on Israel in the future for employment and assistance in building their own state in the future you are sorely mistaken. Unless of course you believe the supporting Arab states will come to their aid. History has shown that may not be their wisest choice. With friends like that, they don't need enemies.
