| Was the 15-minute-long Israeli army firing on the girls high school in the town of Khizaa on Monday, Shuhada Khizaa, reported in the Israeli press? Forces of the Israeli army are stationed along the border in this area east of Khan Younis. One 15 year old was wounded in the face inside her classroom by a live bullet. The shooting seems to have been absolutely unwarranted. But do Israeli military planners realize the deadly boredom, fear and anger among many of their young soldiers sent to do a job that has little meaning for them? (http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article9916.shtml) There have been other breaches lately by the Israeli army: unexplicable firing on fishermen at work and farmers picking olives in the eastern border area. This news appears regularly on the site of the Ma`an News Agency. Violence on either side is condemnable; it is unfortunately not only the Israeli army which retaliates. |
