Rafah


On the border with Egypt, Israel lies and makes war

From the August 31, nyt:

The lie is that arms are smuggled in by tunnels!!!

"The Israeli incursion into Rafah camp in the southern Gaza Strip began after midnight when four Israeli tanks and two bulldozers started knocking down buildings there, Palestinians said. Palestinian gunmen rushed to the scene and opened fire on the Israelis as they leveled buildings facing an Israeli outpost. The Israelis fired at the Palestinians, wounding nine, three seriously, doctors said.

By Palestinian count, the house demolitions brought to 129 the number of buildings razed in the camp since the outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian fighting 11 months ago. The camp, near the border with Egypt, is a frequent scene of clashes between Palestinian gunmen and Israeli soldiers.

The army said the buildings demolished early Friday were uninhabited, and were used as cover for Palestinians firing rifles and throwing grenades at the Israeli border outpost. Also, Israel said that the buildings were used for arms smuggling from Egypt by way of tunnels under the border."
