Relatives are mourning a six-year-old Palestinian boy who was killed in an alleged Israeli strike on the Gaza Strip. Israel claims the boy was killed by one of the Palestinians’ own rockets, but does not deny launching multiple other air strikes.

On Saturday Israel launched air raids on Palestinian territory following rocket fire from Gaza that wounded an Israeli man.
Gaza health officials confirmed that at least four people had been killed and over 20 more wounded, including civilians.

Israel confirmed its aircraft had struck two militant targets in Gaza overnight, saying it was a retaliatory raid.

In the wake of the attacks, Hamas has threatened to call off an Egypt-brokered truce and escalate attacks on Israel.

A six-year-old boy was also killed near the town of Khan Younis, and his father wounded. Hamas officials claim the death resulted from Israeli shelling.

IDF is telling a radically different story.

It says it conducted an investigation, and the “child was killed by a failed rocket launch from Gaza.”

Israel claims Gaza militants have fired more than 130 rockets into its territory over the last week.

The country’s authorities have urged the one million Israelis who live in the south to stay indoors for their safety.

The Israeli military’s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, has gathered senior officers to discuss the latest flare-up in violence.

The strikes follow Monday’s skirmish between Israeli forces and three alleged militants who attacked workers on the border with Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Two militants were killed, while one managed to escape.

Ever think 'why' you saw that copy of the bill on the W,H. website when it has a gag order on it? Did you see it in congress's website?

That 's because the copy I posted for you is the 'real' one. The Illuminati does NOT want you to see the real one. That's why they posted 'their' version. If you watched the video link

Change is on the Horizon - Full Version

http: //www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=9l0mBnnA9U4&fe ature=related

near the end, it explains the bill and how it was never announced. The day it was to be announced Bush Sr. arranged 9/11 to take the attention 'off the announcement' and the USA lost more than 30,000 people that day and not a mere 2,700 that they reported.

Peo ple are 'waking' up now. A copy of this bill is now known. It's announcement would kill the Federal Reserve. (which is a complete scam).

People from all over the world are now protesting because they want this bill announced.

Again, you don't have to believe 'anything' I've posted. Search for yourself. As I mentioned earlier.. Bribing 'anyone' will get you what you want. Wikipedia was paid also, not to print the real bill. The clip will list the website of the bill that the CIA oversees. The media in the USA (CNN, Fox etc) are also bribed... that's why you don't hear or see coverage for Ron Paul.

The corruption is sooooo big now.. but it's falling apart.
Syria was just another country that the USA in 2007 (who claimed they would take 7 countries in five years) said they were going to take. Problem is...they didn't expect Russia and China to step in and stop them.
