Karni Crossing Attack
Karni crossing attack by 3 Palestinian terrorists. This is occurring as Israel is starting a cease fire and the PA promised to prevent attacks. Further more, the crossing is a major artery for Palestinian trade. The attack actually hurts Palestinians rather than Israel - but it will increase resentment in toward Israel who manages the crossing.Three of those who died in the attack were residents of Sderot, which has been the target of numerous Kassam rocket attacks.One of them, Dror Gezri, had been due to celebrate his 31st birthday on Friday and his family had prepared a cake to mark the occasion.Gezri and the two other residents of Sderot, Herzl Shlomo, 50, and Ivan Shmilov, 52, as well as another victim, Ofer Tiri, 23, of Ashkelon, all worked for the Ports Authority at the Karni crossing point.The two other victims, Munam Abu Sabih, 33, of Dabburiya village near Mount Tabor in the lower Galilee, and Ibrihim Khalil, 46, of Umm el-Ghanem, were truck drivers who had driven to Karni to unload produce destined for Palestinians in Gaza.All six victims had been helping in their own way to operate the crossing point that provides a lifeline to Palestinians in Gaza and allows the transfer of medicines, food and other commodities http://inhonor.net/index.php
