Gaza is a giant concentration camp where Israelis may recklessly slaughter Arabs without getting their hands dirty, like spearing fish in a bowl. Israeli Raids in Gaza Kill 10, Wound 100, Earthlink (from Associated Press), October 20, 2003 "In the bloodiest day in the Gaza Strip in months, Israeli warplanes and helicopters pounded militant targets Monday, killing 10 Palestinians, including seven in a refugee camp where a car was destroyed, and wounding about 100. The violent Islamic movements Hamas and Islamic Jihad threatened revenge, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon pledged more raids and the State Department advised U.S. citizens to defer travel to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. With prospects for Mideast peace efforts further clouded, U.S. officials confirmed that John Wolf, the head of the team monitoring implementation of the troubled U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan, was not planning to return to the region soo ... Residents said Israeli helicopters fired three missiles at the main street, destroying a car. An Israeli army statement said the vehicle was carrying members of a Palestinian terrorist squad fleeing after a failed attempt to breach the border fence with Israel a few miles to the northeast. But Israel's Channel 10 TV said that none of the dead were militants, characterizing the refugee camp strike as a "mistake." Residents said one of the dead was a doctor who was treating victims when a second missile struck. The identity of the other victims was not immediately known. Hundreds of camp residents carried charred pieces of the vehicle aloft and chanted, "Revenge, revenge." In Gaza City, Israeli helicopters fired missiles at a building in the Shajaiyeh neighborhood, the same structure that was hit in an earlier airstrike Monday, residents said. Eleven people were wounded, they said. Israeli military sources said the attack was meant to finish the work of the first one. The first three airstrikes Monday destroyed two weapons labs and warehouses of Hamas, the military said. Four children and a 70-year-old woman were among 25 wounded. Two missiles exploded on a street crowded with schoolchildren. During three years of violence, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have caused dozens of civilian casualties."
