ISLAMIC JIHAD DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST: BRUTAL ATTACK, TWO DEAD

BBC article excerpted below. Whaddya bet this will be soaped over by the usuals as 'justifiable', and a 'reaction to inhuman bla bla bla'.

Israel's reaction will be considered disproportionate. Because of the difference in numbers of dead - only two (!) Israelis versus seven (!) peaceloving Palestinian butterflies. Never mind that Islamic Jihad failed their aim during a blatant act of terrorism, whereas the IDF struck back while in pursuit of murderers, after having been surprised, and unfortunately failing to prevent two brutal murders.

Militant attack on Israeli border

At least seven people are reported to have been killed following a raid by Palestinian militants near a border crossing between Gaza and Israel.

Two Israeli workers were killed as a fuel depot at the Nahal Oz crossing in northern Gaza came under attack.

The Israeli army said at least two militants were killed as they fled. Another three Palestinians were killed by Israeli missiles, reports said.

The raid happened just after a fuel delivery to Gaza, sparking a gun battle.

"They killed two of the depot workers, shot them dead."



The Israeli army said two militants were killed as they fled back into Gaza after the attack. At least one other was reported to have escaped.

Later Israeli aircraft hit a vehicle in Gaza City which the military said was carrying Islamic Jihad militants who took part in the attack.

The group said several militants were injured in the strike.



Islamic Jihad was one of three groups to claim responsibility for the border raid.

Its spokesman, identified only as Abu-Mujahid, said the attack was aimed at breaking the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, imposed after Hamas seized control of the territory last June.
"This was a martyrdom-seeking [suicide] operation aimed at kidnapping Zionist soldiers," he said. "It's been code-named Breaking the Blockade. It demolishes the continuous Zionist arrogance against our people."


Hamas itself has not said it was involved in the operation.

Expect all the customary denials and justificatory waffling from the apologists soon. As well as outrageous statements. And a heartfelt plea from paragons such as Jimmy Carter and Desmond Tutu for world-wide understanding of the gentle Gazan Buddhists and sneering condemnation of the Jews Israelis' regrettable tendency to not learn anything from their own history.
