Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Human shield forces suspension of IAF airstrike
2006-11-19
The IDF said on Saturday night that it was suspending an airstike on the Gaza home of a Popular Resistance Committees commander after hundreds of Palestinians formed a human shield around the building. The Palestinians flocked to the home of Mohammedweil Baroud in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya after he received a warning from the IDF late Saturday giving him 30 minutes to leave the house.

Barhoud heads a cell responsible for firing Kassam rockets at Israel. The incident was the first time Palestinians have tried to prevent an airstrike. The crowd chanted anti-Israel and anti-American slogans, and people said they were prepared to give their lives to protect the home. "Yes to martyrdom, no to surrender," the crowd chanted.

"We came here to protect this fighter, to protect his house and to prove that we are capable of defeating this Zionist policy," said Nizar Rayan, a local Hamas leader who joined the protest.
