There are two sides to every situation involving Israel and Palestine….. Just last night the following took place in Gaza…. events that won’t be headline news in the corporate media…..
Hamas announced Saturday evening that it has reached an agreement with other militant groups in Gaza to stop firing rockets at southern Israeli towns to prevent retaliatory attacks.
“We have agreed with the factions that nobody carries out any action involving rockets for now,” Fathi Hammad, Hamas’ interior minister, was quoted as saying by the Chinese news agency Xinhua. Hamas has mostly refrained from firing rockets since January when Israel ended a three week offensive in Gaza, code-named Operation Cast Lead, aimed at stopping almost daily cross-border attacks.
Above taken from THIS report….
Here is the response from Israel….. sent to me by Ayman Quader….
-Two Palestinians have been injured in the north of the Gaza Strip, Jabalia camp. The Israeli F16 warplane has targeted a factory with one rocket, this attack has created great fear on the people of north of the Gaza.
-Four Palestinians have been injured due to the attack on the tunnel area between Rafah City and Egypt. This addition to the clear voice of the F16 warplane in different districts of the Gaza Strip
-Another Israeli air raid in middle of the Gaza Strip, near Deir Al Balah causing no injuries.
This occurred just ONE HOUR after Hamas made their announcement.
What is strange about all of the above is that Hamas is STILL listed as a terrorist organisation as far as the United States is concerned….. and Israel isn’t.
Isn’t it TIME FOR A CHANGE?
New Israeli air raids on Gaza wound seven, damage homes
[ 22/11/2009 - 10:15 AM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- Seven Palestinian citizens were wounded and a number of homes sustained damages during Israeli air strikes on several areas in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) claimed that the raids targeted a weapons factory and were carried out in retaliation to a rocket attack on an Israeli area.
Palestinian eyewitnesses said that the Israeli air raids targeted a mobile home in northern Gaza and Al-Qassas area in Yibna refugee camp in Rafah, while news reports said that Israeli warplanes bombed two metal workshops in Jabaliya and the central area of Gaza.
Other news reports quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the raids destroyed a factory of washing machines in Jabaliya belonging to Al-Najjar family and a workshop in Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Local sources added that six people from the same family were injured in Jabaliya and a number of houses sustained different degrees of damage as a result of the air strikes.
Other Palestinian sources reported that Israeli warplanes bombed Gaza borders with Egypt which led to the injury of three citizens, adding that the Israeli gunboats also bombarded houses in the same targeted area.
In a separate incident, one Palestinian worker was killed and two others were moderately wounded after the collapse of their tunnel at the Palestinian-Egyptian borders.
Medical sources told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that the medical crews recovered the body of Hani Rezq and rescued two other men who fell in the tunnel.
The Israeli blockade on Gaza prompted its people to dig tunnels to smuggle food and fuel to Gaza despite the presence of serious risks to the lives of those working inside them.
