BBC: Scores die in Israeli air strikes

Israeli F-16 bombers have launched a series of air strikes against key targets in the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring scores of people. Medical staff and Hamas officials said at least 140 people were killed when missiles hit security compounds and militant bases across Gaza.

The strikes, the most intense Israeli attacks on Gaza in recent times, come after the expiry of a truce with Hamas. Israel said it was responding to continued rocket attacks from Gaza.

Palestinian militants frequently fire rockets against Israeli towns from within the borders of Gaza. In a statement, Israel's military said it targeted "Hamas terror operatives" as well as training camps and weaponry storage warehouses.

What a disgraceful description of what is really happening in Gaza from the wonderfully unbiased BBC.

Oh, and don't bother to email me or comment. I long ago accepted that any criticism of Israel automatically made me an 'anti-Semite' and if that is really the case I'm proud to be one.
