Palestinian Ceasefire Score: 3 Dead, 39 Wounded

The latest Palestinian "ceasefire" (or, more properly, "cease". "FIRE") has only claimed 3 dead and 39 wounded this weekend. But the managed to infiltrate Israel as well, provoking airstrikes in retaliation.

Hours after Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip infiltrated into Israel at a key border crossing, Israeli aircraft bombed a building used by Islamic Jihad, causing two injuries, local residents said.

The army confirmed the air strike targeted Islamic Jihad, which took part in Saturday's cross-border raid.

The army said a separate air strike targeted a weapons production facility used by a militant offshoot of Fatah which joined Islamic Jihad in the raid. Local residents said a dairy truck was hit but no one was hurt.

The heaviest fighting between the ruling Hamas Islamist group and President Mahmoud Abbas's secular Fatah faction took place in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, where hundreds of rival gunmen took up positions on street corners and rooftops.

Hamas and Fatah pounded each other's positions with rocket-propelled grenades and machineguns, according to locals, who took shelter indoors as the rivals fought block by block.

Two men from Fatah and one from Hamas were killed, hospital officials said.

Of the more than 39 Palestinians wounded in the fighting, at least 9 were in critical condition, hospital officials said. The number of injured overwhelmed the local hospital, forcing officials to send people to neighboring towns for treatment.

I still have seen no condemnation of the Palestinian's behavior coming out of Europe - and not much out of the US at this point.
