The Israel Defense Forces said it was behind an explosion in a house in Gaza City early Wednesday that killed five people.




Hospital officials said another seven people were wounded, four critically. Palestinians said the house is in the Sajaiyeh neighborhood of Gaza City, a stronghold of Islamic militants, and belonged to Hamas activist Ahmed Jabari.

The five casualties were Jabari's son, his brother, his son-in-law, his cousin and a relative of Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi, the former Hamas leader who was killed in an IDF missile attack in April.

"In an Israeli security forces operation in the northern Gaza Strip, the Israel Defence Forces targeted a senior Hamas terrorist," an IDF spokeswoman said, without giving further details. Doctors said the apparent target, Ahmed Jabari, suffered leg wounds.

1. Sowing more hatred daily!

I'm know whenever I'm trying to get cooperation I try to kill my opponents relatives. Oh that's right, this isn't about cooperation with or trying to be a good steward of an occupied and dispossessed people. It's about shooting "fish in a barrel", killing men and children, closing their schools and humiliating them daily! These aren't humans, they're arabs after all.

Makes me proud as an American taxpayer to just be able to contribute a substantial percentage of my tax dollars to this most worthy and especially bloody act of revenge! See you in hell IDF. ;-)

2. Love your enemy

The Hamas militants were killed. No children.

What does this have to do with closing schools? It's summer recess, and the IDF hasn't closed schools.
