Today in Palestine 22.04.08

Israel reopens Gaza crossings for food, Palestinians needing Israeli hospitals while Islamist morons continue their pointless and largely ineffectual attacks on the hand that feeds them.


April 22, 2008, 4:49 PM (GMT+02:00)

Eighty-six trucks carrying, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, flour, sugar, diapers and medicines from Israel passed through reopened Sufa crossing to Gaza Tuesday; Palestinian patients in need of Israeli hospitals were admitted through the Erez crossing. The fuel crossing at Nahal Oz, which Hamas gunmen attacked earlier this month murdering two Israeli energy workers remained closed.

So did the Kerem Shalom and Kissufim crossings, which Hamas tried to blow up Saturday, April 19, injuring 13 Israeli soldiers. It was the first attack by Hamas using two explosives-backed jeeps and two armored personnel carriers. Israeli forces thwarted its kill-and-kidnap objective and captured an APC. Monday, Hamas leaders in Damascus threatened to “crash” Israeli crossings. Yet Tuesday, Hamas actually complained that Gaza Strip power station was running out of fuel.

At the same time, the Palestinian jihadists kept up its missile barrage on Israeli towns and Jihad Islami terrorists attacked the Erez crossing where Palestinian patients were transferred to Israel for treatment. An Israeli air strike and fire from ground forces killed the three attackers.
