Islamic Jihad claims responsibility for rocket attack on small Israeli community in which 70-year-old grandmother of five was killed
Qassams claim another victim: Shuli Katz, a 70-year-old resident of Kibbutz Gvaram was killed early Monday evening from a Palestinian Qassam rocket which crashed into the backyard of a residential home in Yesha - a small community belonging to the Eshkol Regional Council.
A widow, Katz is survived by four children, five grandchildren and her 90-year-old mother, who lives in a retirement home.
She sustained critical injuries from the impact and MDA paramedics alerted to the scene fought to resuscitate for some time before ultimately calling the time of death. Medics also treated a 50-year-old man for shock...
The Israeli Government has issued this statement:
In the past 24 hours, a 70 year-old woman, Shuli Katz was killed by a Kassam rocket. Katz, a member of Kibbutz Gevaram, was murdered while visiting relatives at the Yesha moshav (near Ofakim), located some 15 kms (9 miles) from the Gaza Strip.
Also today, 75 humanitarian aid trucks carrying children's games, medical equipment and medicine were transferred to the Gaza Strip via the Sufa and Nahal Oz Israeli crossing points.
Israel is facilitating the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip while at the same time it is being attacked from that territory. Israel holds Hamas fully responsible for these attacks and their consequences.
...apparently, the Olmert government doesn't hold "Hamas fully responsible for these attacks" and, in fact, there are no "consequences." What do these fools think? Sending a truck-full of toys to Gaza is going to make the filthy British antisemites of the world like them? Idiocy.
