Na 8 Palestijnen vermoord te hebben en vele slachtoffers (onder meer kinderen en bejaarden) onder de puin vandaan te halen die zo net door Zionistische terreuraanslag gepleegd is op woonwijken .. was de reaktie van een Joodse Nazi H!tler Zionist, we betreuren de slachtoffers maar we moeten druk blijven uitoefenen op de Palestijnen.
Hamas bombs Israeli town after 9 Palestinians, including pregnant woman, killed in Gaza Strip, Nablus

A Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip landed in an open space in a residential area in the Israeli town of Sderot on Monday afternoon. Five Israelis were being treated for shock.
Earlier, Israeli tanks moved into central Gaza early Monday, witnesses said, killing eight people and destroying two houses. Troops also arrested two members of Hamas.
During the incursion into the Nusseirat and Bureij refugee camps two Israeli soldiers were wounded.
Witnesses said the focus of the incursion was the Bureij camp, where soldiers blew up two houses after demanding that residents leave.
Palestinians said at least two of those killed were civilians — a 14-year-old boy shot dead and a 33-year-old pregnant woman whose house collapsed from the force of the blast next door. The bodies of the dead were still in the camp, residents said, and dozens of people wounded from Israeli gunfire were lying untreated in the streets.
Some 40 Palestinians were wounded when fighters traded fire with Israeli troops.
Palestinian witnesses said Israeli undercover troops first spread through the camp on foot. Two Hamas leaders were arrested by Israeli forces, Palestinians said. The leaders were identified as Mohammed Taha, a Hamas founder and leader of the group in the Nusseirat camp, and his son.
Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Sunday that Israel would step up its military operations in Gaza aimed at Hamas.
It was the second Israeli incursion in as many days in Gaza. On Sunday, Israeli troops raided Khan Younis refugee camp, killing two Palestinians and wounding at least 35 others. Palestinian medics at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said 35 Palestinians were injured, three of them critically. Those in critical condition were identified as: Ali Salmeh, 25, Majed Darwish, 25 and an 18-year-old youth, Ahmad Abu Tyour.
Palestinian cabinet minister Saeb Erekat called Sunday's violence "a prelude to reoccupy all of the Gaza Strip, exploiting the world's preoccupation with the Iraqi crisis."
On Monday, Israeli forces also operated in the West Bank city of Nablus overnight, arresting Palestinians in the city, Israel Radio reported. A Palestinian man was killed by Israeli fire in the city Monday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority asked Israel for travel permits for members of the PLO's Central Council and the Palestinian legislature — the bodies that will determine the responsibilities of a Palestinian prime minister, the new position Yasser Arafat has reluctantly agreed to create.
Israel is reviewing the names of the 124 Central Council members and 88 legislators and will deny travel permits to those directly involved in violence against Israel, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's spokesman, Raanan Gissin, said Sunday.
Israeli media on Sunday reported the arrest in Bethlehem of a member of a Hamas cell that allegedly planned to explode a bomb near Sharon's motorcade and to attack a synagogue. The reports said the suspect, identified as Fahdi Murtaja, was arrested on Feb. 7.
