Israeli Army Base in Gaza Attacked
Sunday, June 27, 2004


GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Palestinian militants set off a huge explosion at an Israeli army outpost in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, collapsing a concrete building. Paramedics reported at least 30 casualties, and Arab satellite stations said at least five Israeli soldiers were killed.

The outpost was protected by reinforced concrete, and the attackers apparently dug a tunnel to reach the outpost and detonate the explosive. The blast went off at the Gush Katif junction, near a bloc of Jewish settlements.

In a call to The Associated Press, Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades (search), a violent group with ties to Yasser Arafat's (search) Fatah movement, claimed responsibility.

During the evacuation of the dead and wounded, ambulances came under constant fire from militants, said Yeruham Mendola, a spokesman for the Magen David Adom rescue service. He said there were at least 30 casualties.

Al-Jazeera (search) television, monitored in Cairo, said five soldiers were killed in the blast. Al-Arabiya reported that six soldiers had been killed and at least 30 people injured.

Just as Israel is beginning to pull out of the Gaza strip. I wouldn't be surprised if the Israeli government now changes it mind about that. They only had a thin majority of Likud voters in favor of it, but I'm afraid this might tip the scales against.

I'm startin to doubt whether they were ever serious about it.

No, they were serious about it. The have been implementing it in preliminary stages for 3 weeks now. Sharon risked his political future after it was first brought to a Likud vote and they voted it down. If he wasn't serious about it, he wouldn't have taken the risk of being ousted from Likud party leadership.
