Wary Israeli troops allowed the Gazans to cross the heavily guarded border on Saturday, stripping them first to make sure none was wearing explosives. Mortar shells hit near the crossing as the Palestinians fled their homes for the territory of their longtime enemy. The Israeli soldiers prepared stretchers and ambulances rushed the badly wounded to nearby hospitals.
The incident began Saturday when Hamas forces launched a raid on a crowded Gaza City neighborhood dominated by the Hilles clan, linked to Fatah. The sides battled each other with mortars and machine guns. Three Hamas men were killed, along with six Fatah supporters, and nearly 90 were wounded in what was one of Gaza's bloodiest rounds of internal fighting since Hamas seized the territory more than a year ago.
"Death To Israel! Death To The Jews!" is what they used to say. Now, facing death themselves, it's "hey guys, can ya help us out"?
Why not just turn them back, and allow them to massacre one another? Then, you have one less enemy to deal with. You saw what happened when you released a guy who murdered a 4 year old girl. He went right back to saying "death to Israel".
Seal off the area, block everything going in and out of the area, including humanitarian aid, and wait it out.
Sooner or later, facing starvation, thirst, violence, and widespread eradication, they'll get their act together. And if they don't, then they die. It's win-win if you ask me.
