Israel claimed that the shelling was in response to Palestinian gunfire. If so, why did the Israeli Defense Forces blanket residential areas with bombs and bullets, rather than targeting the handful of gunmen who were acting in opposition to the majority will of Beit Jala residents? If they blanketed residential areas with bombs and bullets there would have at least been dozens of deaths if not hundreds. I haven't seen any news stories about recent large death tolls at Beit Jala. Tim
