Hamas Threatens to Hit Israeli Homes
2003-09-10
The military wing of the Islamic militant group Hamas threatened on Wednesday to change tactics by attacking Israeli houses and buildings after Israel tried to kill a Hamas political leader in his home in the Gaza Strip.
Dire Revenge(tm)V3.0.
"There is no word in Arabic for 'dumbass.' Stupidity is a decadent western concept, like cause and effect..."
"The targeting of civilian houses is a violation of all red lines. Therefore the Zionist enemy will have to shoulder responsibility for the targeting by us of houses and Zionist buildings everywhere in occupied Palestine," the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, said in a statement.
You start booming people in their homes, Israel throws the gloves away.
"We are Arabs. We can't be expected to control our actions. Besides, world opinion has ignored or dismissed all the atrocities we've committed up until now. Why should the new crop of atrocities be any different?"
Hamas is sworn to the destruction of the state of Israel, which it says is built on occupied Palestinian land. It has spearhead a suicide bombing campaign that has killed hundreds of Israelis since a Palestinian uprising began 34-months-ago. "We reiterate that in the past we have avoided targeting houses and Zionist residential buildings but the enemy was the one to initiate it and the enemy has to harvest what it has sown," said the statement, which was sent to news organizations.
The Palestonekillers have shot and stabbed individuals at home before, but I don’t recall bombings. They don’t say directly, but I think that’s what they are threatening
An Israeli missile on Wednesday flattened Hamas political leader Mahmoud al-Zahar’s house in the Gaza Strip, killing his eldest son and a bodyguard. Zahar was lightly wounded. "Our painful operations were to tell the enemy that we have struck you when your security arrangements reached a climax yesterday. Our response came, and has not been completed yet," the statement by the Hamas military wing said. "We sent this message to tell the terrorist (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon and his Nazi government that we are able, by God’s will, to achieve our goal in a time which we will determine," it said.
Fire up the bulldozers.
