Gazans Develop Early-Warning System Against Israel
(Reuters) The recorded sound of throbbing rotors interrupts the popular singer ahead of a familiar radio message. Israeli helicopters are over the central Gaza Strip. "Take care and stay safe," urged the announcer before the music returns. About a dozen local radio stations have developed a makeshift early-warning system, which drives Palestinians under cover and sends edgy militants scurrying. Where radio stations elsewhere might carry traffic reports, in Gaza they watch the skies. Asked about the Gaza radio alerts, an Israeli military source said: "Yes, it's true that Hamas leaders should take cover. All of them as far as we are concerned are a legitimate target."
