Israel to notify Gaza Strip residents before strikes

[Behind the Aegis]

The Israel Defense Forces intends to drop flyers from IAF planes warning residents before striking Gaza Strip targets as it begins enforcing a buffer zone to prevent Qassam rocket fire into its territory.

The notices will be scattered around areas from which militants launch Qassam rockets into Israel. They will call on Palestinian police officers to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip, and will state that the responsibility for potential civilian casualties in Israel Air Force strikes lies with the Qassam launchers.

IAF helicopters fired a volley of missiles at targets in the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, striking sites and buildings believed to facilitate Qassam rocket attacks on Israel.

One missiles struck the northern Gaza offices of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the militant group linked to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction, as well Fatah enlistment headquarters in the town of Beit Lahia.

1. If only the people in the West Bank/Gaza Strip had their own Gandhi

Instead, the only alternative is Hamas and Islamic Jihad. I believe the Nelson Mandelas and the Gandhis were destroyed by religious fanatics on both sides of this conflict be it the pro-settler religious nutjobs inside Israel or the nutjobs in the West Bank who love to convince desperate, despairing people to strap on a bomb and go for a walk.
