JEBALIYA REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel's military said Saturday that its 17-day incursion into the northern Gaza Strip struck a heavy blow against Palestinian militants routinely firing makeshift rockets into the country's southern region.

Palestinian residents, however, accused the army of wanton destruction, saying the broad military offensive targeted densely populated areas never used to launch rockets. At least 110 Palestinians — including dozens of civilians — were killed, making this the bloodiest military offensive in northern Gaza in four years of fighting.

I'm suprised they consider this a success.After all,there's still some Palestinians left alive.
