Saber-Rattling Palestinians Gearing Up for Battle
(AFP/National Post-Canada) Charles Levinson - Palestinians were spoiling for a fight as Israel massed forces on its border with Gaza after the kidnapping of one of its soldiers. Rocket-propelled grenades and shoulder-fired missiles, once a rarity among Palestinian fighters, are now abundant, as was evident during recent displays of force by Hamas and other terrorist factions. "Gaza is different now," said Abu al-Majed, a spokesman for the Fatah Hawks. "The Palestinian resistance has many types of weapons it didn't have at the time of the occupation."
