As initially reported by the mass media, Israeli shells hit a home killing 4 Palestinians. Wonder how that story made it through when as we've learned here supposedly all the mainstream media are Zionist controlled.
Turns out, Israeli forces struck terrorists carrying bombs and other explosives going toward the Israelis, and the resultant explosions from the terrorists' own bombs is what damaged the home and killed the inhabitants. Once again, these terrorists continue to strike from residential areas for the sole purpose of putting their own people at risk.
On-line newspapers are now beginning to make corrections to their initial story. Guess Hamas propaganda isn't quite what it used to be. Sort of like Jericho. Oh wait, that was PLO propaganda. It does get so difficult keeping the various Islamic terrorist groups distinct.
In related news, Hamas has offered a temporary cease-fire from their daily terrorist attacks, so they can re-arm while continuing to smuggle weapons in through Egypt. One would think with all the practice they have making bombs targeted to kill Israeli children that they would be more efficient at it by now.

I only wish that they would not consider the US gov't and the American people to be their first line of defense.
And their unofficial motto "We'll fight to the last American and the last dollar of US aid" I think maybe that could stand some fine-tuning.
I'll be a lot more impressed with the IAF when their Pally-killing capabilities are fully the result of their own ingenuity and much-vauntred high-tech economy, and does not throw the US inevitably into the mix. I'm guessing that you feel otherwise.
