17-Feb-11: More terrorist action on our Gazan border

There are reports this morning that infantry, naval and helicopter forces of the IDF intercepted and killed three men in the course of an intense fire-fight inside the Hamas-dominated Gaza Strip. The army says its forces spotted the three, dressed in civilian clothing, as they approached the security fence, evidently intending to cut through the fence and place explosives. No claims of responsibility so far from the Gazan jihadist groups who daily fire rockets and mortars into Israel. But the day is still young. AFP and France24 call the three fishermen and name them as Jihad Khalaf, 20, Talaat al-Awagh, 25 and Ashraf al-Kteifan, 29.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
