Rights group: Israel bombed civilian property in Gaza
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli warplanes struck civilian properties during early morning raids Wednesday which injured 10 Palestinians, a rights group said.
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights said two women and a child were among those injured in the strike on the Al-Tufah neighborhood east of Gaza City.
A factory was destroyed, a pharmacy belonging to the Health Ministry was set on fire and a school and warehouses were damaged in the bombing, PCHR said.
Medicines donated by international delegations were damaged by the strike, which caused a fire in the pharmacy. Gaza Health Ministry official Munir Al-Barsh said the bombing would exacerbate the shortage of medicine in the besieged coastal enclave.
Entire classrooms, windows and doors of the Nour Al-Maaref Standard School were destroyed in the attack, PCHR said.
Four wood warehouses were also partially damaged, according to the rights group.
PCHR condemned the Israeli military's "indiscriminate attacks" in the Gaza Strip and the "conspiracy of silence" practiced by the international community towards Israeli war crimes against medical and educational facilities.
In a statement Wednesday, the Israeli military said warplanes struck "a terror activity site in the northern Gaza Strip and a second terror activity site in the central Gaza Strip.
The army said direct hits were confirmed, and that "[s]econdary blasts were identified in two of the three targets."
The bombing was in response to five projectiles fired from Gaza into southern Israel on Wednesday, which caused no damage or injuries, the army said.

Two Palestinian workers wounded in IOF shooting
GAZA, (PIC)-- Two Palestinian workers were wounded on Saturday afternoon when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired at them east of Beit Lahia town to the north of the Gaza Strip.
Adham Abu Salmiya, the spokesman for the medical services, said that a 24-year-old youth was hit with a bullet in his knee while the other 29-year-old man was hit with a bullet in his foot, adding that they were both hospitalized.
Thus the number of casualties among workers, who were injured in IOF shooting since March last year, reached two martyrs and 121 wounded.
Tens of unemployed Palestinians are compelled to collect gravel in Gaza border areas and sell it in the market for a living after the IOF banned entry of that material into the Strip.

Two workers wounded by Israeli gunfire in Gaza
On Saturday, Israeli soldiers stationed at the Gaza-Israeli border fired live rounds at two workers who were collecting rubble to use as building material, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
Israel maintains a "buffer zone" of several hundred yards on the Gazan side of the border, though the exact distance of the zone is continually changing (some soldiers say it is 100 meters, some say 200, and some say 500 meters although Palestinians have been shot at a distance of 800 meters with the claim that they were in the "buffer zone").
The two men who were shot Saturday were several hundred meters from the border when they were both shot in the legs by Israeli soldiers. The victims were identified as Marhan Tanboura, 24, and Ashour Shukheidim, 29.
The two men told reporters that they had been collecting rubble to use as building material. The Gaza Strip, which has been under siege since 2007, has a severe lack of building materials, especially since much of its infrastructure was destroyed in the 2009 Israeli invasion which left 1,400 dead and nearly 30,000 homeless.
Since that time, building materials have not been allowed to enter the Gaza Strip, as Israeli forces have maintained a strict siege, and have prevented the entry of cement, bricks, mortar and other construction materials.
Palestinians have resorted to scavenging for building materials among the former Israeli settlements, which were demolished when the settlers evacuated in 2005, and along the border area, where many Palestinians are afraid to go, for fear of being shot.
The Israeli military confirmed that soldiers shot the men, claiming that the two men got too close to the border.

Palestinian youth injured in IOF shooting
GAZA, (PIC)-- A 20-year-old Palestinian youth was wounded on Monday when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stationed to the north of the Gaza Strip fired at a group of workers, medical sources reported.
Adham Abu Salmiya, the spokesman for medical services, told the PIC reporter that the IOF soldiers opened machinegun fire at the workers collecting gravel northwest of Beit Lahia to the north of Gaza.
He added that Suleiman Abu Rikab was injured in his left leg, noting that his wound was minor.
The IOF targeting of those workers had caused 120 casualties among them since March last year.

Netanyahu: Israeli army ready for anything
JERUSALEM (AFP) -- The Israeli military is "ready for all eventualities" as the Arab and Muslim world undergoes "an earthquake," Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday just days after Egypt's regime collapsed.
"An earthquake is shaking the whole Arab world and a large part of the Muslim world and we don't yet know how these things will turn out," the premier said at a swearing-in ceremony for new army chief Major General Benny Gantz.
"We are ready for all eventualities because we know that the foundation of our existence, and our capacity to convince our neighbours to live in peace with us, is based on the Israeli army," he said during a ceremony at his Jerusalem office.
Gantz takes over the post as Israel's strategic stance in the Middle East undergoes a shakeup in the wake of a popular revolt in Egypt which ousted president Hosni Mubarak after three decades in power.
Israel has reacted cautiously to the overthrow of Mubarak, an ally who was involved in years of Middle East peace negotiations.
But it welcomed a statement by Egypt's new military ruling council that Cairo remains committed to all its treaties, including its landmark 1979 peace deal with Israel.

Four Palestinian youths injured in IOF shooting in WB
AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired rubber bullets at a group of young men in Beit Ummar north of Al-Khalil wounding four of them on Tuesday evening.
Medical sources said that all four sustained light injuries in their heads and necks.
The IOF troops had stormed the village and provoked citizens who threw stones at them and the soldiers responded firing rubber-coated bullets.
Palestinian sources said that the IOF soldiers detained ten Palestinians in various West Bank areas at an early hour on Tuesday.
They said that the young men were rounded up in Ramallah, Jenin, Qalqilia, Salfit, and Bethlehem districts.
Locals said that a Palestinian teen from Bethlehem was hospitalized after the soldiers beat him while at work in 1948 occupied Palestinian land.

Israel threatens new war on Lebanon
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli war minister Ehud Barak threatened during a tour of the northern 1948 occupied Palestine borders on Tuesday with the new chief of staff Benny Gantz to launch a new war on Lebanon.
Barak told the Israeli forces deployed along the borders that calm was currently prevailing because Hizbullah realized "our power of deterrence".
He added, however, that the situation would not perpetuate and "we might be asked to enter Lebanon anew".
Barak said that the Israeli army should be always ready for any possibility and to retaliate within seconds if anything happened.

Israel troops may 'have to re-enter' Lebanon
JERUSALEM (AFP) -- Israel's army may enter Lebanon again to ensure Hezbollah remembers the lessons of the 2006 war, Defense Minister Ehud Barak was quoted as saying in an Israeli newspaper Wednesday.
"Even though it's quiet and deterrence exists -- Hezbollah remembers the heavy beating they suffered from us in 2006 -- but it is not forever, and you may be called to enter again," Barak said during a tour of the northern border with the new military Chief of Staff Benny Gantz.
His remarks, which referred to Israel's deadly 34-day war with the powerful Lebanese Shiite militia, were reported by the Haaretz newspaper.
"We must be prepared for every test," Barak told troops stationed along the frontier. "The secret is reacting fast in the event that something happens, and within seconds, translating everything you learned in your training."
The 2006 war killed 1,200 people in Lebanon, most of them civilians, and 160 Israelis, mostly soldiers.

3 shot dead in northern Gaza
GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- Three Palestinians were shot dead in the northern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, Israeli military officials informed Gaza authorities.
The three were said to have been killed near the evacuated Doget settlement, north of Beit Lahiya. A Palestinian official in Gaza said he was informed that the men were shot allegedly sneaking into Israel.
Medics were alerted and permitted by Israeli forces occupying the border region to enter the "no-go zone" to retrieve the bodies, spokesman of the higher committee of ambulance and emergency services Adham Abu Salmiya told Ma'an.
Beit Lahiya residents said they heard a helicopter flying and shots fired at approximately 2:15 a.m.
The retrieved bodies were transferred to the Kamal Odwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, where medics identified the slain as
Jihad Fathi Khalaf, 20,
Tal'at Ar-Ruwagh, 25,
Ashraf Eqtefan, 29.
Initial inquiries revealed that at least two of the men were fishers.
The Israeli military spokesperson's office had not immediate comment.

Israeli troops kill 3 Gazans
Israeli troops have shot and killed three Palestinian men who were trying to pass the border zone in the northern Gaza Strip, medical sources say.
The medics said they recovered the bodies near the northern border of the blockaded coastal sliver on Thursday before dawn.
Residents say they have heard the gunfire, Reuters reported.
The Israeli military has had no immediate comment over the attack.
Palestinians in impoverished and war-ravaged Gaza frequently search for construction materials -- one of the many commodities turned scarce by the Israel-imposed blockade -- near the border with Israel.
Israeli soldiers are authorized to shoot at anyone that comes close to a 300-meter (328 yard) zone along the length of the border.
