israelis drop vacuum bomb on Gaza
Israel's Prime Minister on Sunday gave his military a “free hand” to target anyone in Gaza, adding that the Palestinians there could not live normal lives while Israelis across the border were constantly targeted by rockets, as the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killed five Palestinians during an incursion early Sunday into the southern Gaza Strip, near Rafah.
“We have completely a free hand to respond, to reach out and to attack everyone (who has) any kind of responsibility on behalf of Hamas,” Olmert told Jewish-American leaders in Jerusalem. “That applies to everyone, first and foremost Hamas.”
And when they say everyone - they mean EVERYONE...
Olmert was speaking at a gathering of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem.
Israeli Deputy “Defense” Minister Matan Vilnai rejected talks with Hamas, saying it was a “terror” group that does not recognize Israel's right to exist. "For now, there is nothing to talk about," he told Army Radio.
IOF Use Vacuum Bomb
Meanwhile the Gaza-based Palestine Information Center (PIC), quoting Palestinian security sources in Gaza, reported Sunday that IOF warplanes dropped a huge vacuum bomb on the home of Ayman Fayyed of the Islamic Jihad Movement on Friday night, which was used for the first time with such devastating effect.
Fayyad, his wife, three children and three neighbors were killed, more than fifty people wounded, including a 45-year-old civilian who was shot in the head according to Palestinian health officials, and seven houses completely destroyed and many others damaged by the bomb.
israelis dropped a bomb on a densely occupied residential area in the middle of the night, killing them as they slept.
There is no other word for this but GENOCIDE.
The sources on Saturday said that the big explosion, which was heard more than 20 kilometers away, and the horizontal destruction of nearby houses along with the internal wounds without any outside signs on the bodies of the casualties pointed to the new type of bomb used in this massacre.
The body of the one of the martyrs was found 150 meters away from the site of the bombing without carrying any superficial wounds but most of his internal parts were damaged as a result of the vacuum explosion.
Meanwhile five Palestinians were killed and a soldier of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) was critically wounded during an IOF incursion into the southern Gaza Strip, near Rafah Sunday.
Before dawn Sunday IOF troops backed by armored units and air support were deployed in southern Gaza; troops encountered fierce resistance and engaged in gun battles with armed Palestinian anti-occupation activists.
An IOF spokeswoman said the Israeli forces had been “operating against terrorist infrastructures” inside Gaza, near the city of Rafah and more than 80 Palestinians were detained for questioning.
Separately a 32-year-old Palestinian woman died of a brain stroke in Jabalia, northern Gaza, on Sunday after frequent attempts to travel abroad for treatment did not bear fruit due to the Israeli siege, according to the PIC.
The popular anti-siege committee said that the woman, Reem Al-Batesh, tried to obtain a permit to receive treatment in either Egypt or Israel but could not due to repeated refusal by the IOF.
The committee said that the death of Batesh brought to 96 the number of Palestinian victims of the Israeli siege.

Will hardly make the evening zio-news !
These asslicking isreali supporters need to get their heads out of their asses and smell the coffee
The use of thermobaric weaponry to target a single individual in a populated area is indeed a new low, even for the ultra-barbaric IOF. This repugnant behaviour would be unacceptable from any other nation. Why on earth should Israel be allowed to get away with it?
The presstitutes of the mass media never tire of telling the world how the evil Saddam gassed the Kurds, but seems to give tacit approval to the genocide Israel has been perpetrating (and contiues to perpetrate) against the Palestinians.
...and it feels like it's breaking.
