Earlier today, the IDF targeted a Palestinian terrorist squad that was planting an explosive device near the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip. Hits were confirmed, causing an explosion originating from the bomb the terrorists attempted to plant.
The Guardian chose to cover the terrorist incident by posting a video titled “Two Palestinians killed on Gaza-Israel border” and a photo in their continuing series of “24 hours in pictures (The best images from around the world)“.
Here’s the video:
Here’s the photo:
The caption:
Beit Hanoun, Gaza: Palestinians look through a hospital window at the body of a man killed in an Israeli attack.
Here’s a photo you won’t see at the Guardian – a disguised explosive found near a Gaza security fence on January 4th.
The goal, of course, as with all such explosive devices planted by Gaza terrorists at the border fence, is to kill and maim as many Israelis as possible.
Hamas’s military website, Al-Qassam, has already pronounced the two terrorists as “martyrs”.

That photo is not recent, certainly not from the last 24 hours.

A version of fauxtography.
It occurs to me that the Groan doesn’t have 10 commandments for Israel to break. It must have a whole 613. At least. Handed up by a shaytan.
1. Thou shalt not defend thyself nor thy people.

No doubt the BBC will follow this up. More propoganda.

It is worth knowing that Hamas (and Palestinian sources generally) typically use the term “martyr” (“shahid”) to refer to any Palestinian killed by Israel. Hamas will generally describe combatants (when they acknowledge them, which they frequently do because they want to to glorify them) as “mujahid” (one who wages jihad). Often, Hamas and the IDF agree in identifying certain Palestinians killed by Israel as combatants. That does not appear to be the case here (at least not yet).

I don’t understand. People killed while planting a bomb. How can they NOT be considered combatants? Even if they were amateurs, even if it was a home-made bomb, even if they were 12 years old, even if the ‘operation’ was not formally sanctioned or ordered by Hamas – surely the act of planting a bomb designed to kill and wound Israeli soldiers has to be an act of combat/resistance/terror (delete according to your political taste)?

Der Guardian should label the 7/7/05 London jihadis as “shaheeds” too.
