Blast rips through car in Gaza City

[Gimel]

An explosion ripped through the engine of a car in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday in what may have been an Israeli missile strike, a mechanical fault or the premature blast of a bomb stored in the vehicle. A child was among three people wounded in the explosion, Palestinians said.

Medical officials said the wounded included a 5-year-old boy, a 62-year-old man and a 35-year-old man.

Palestinian officials said the blast in a white Mercedes in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City was caused by an Israeli missile strike, but said they were also checking the possibility the explosion was caused when a bomb detonated prematurely in the car. Television footage, meanwhile, indicated the blast may have been caused by a mechanical fault.

Israeli security sources said they were checking the
incident but had no immediate information about any new missile strike against Palestinian militants in Gaza.

5. It wasn't any of the above...

It wasn't a "targeted killing"

It wasn't "total war"

It wasn't "lying there defenseless..."

That said, your post makes no sense whatsoever.

I would choose (1) to strive to make some sense when I post; (2)I wouldn't be so blithe about blowing innocent to bits, depending on whether they are Palestinian or Israeli. Selective outrage tends to make one look stupid.
