Israeli army destroys Gaza homes

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3689104.stm

Israeli army bulldozers have torn down the homes of more than 200 Palestinians in the Gaza refugee camp of Khan Yunis, United Nations aid officials say.

The Israeli military says the operation - a day after mortars fired from Khan Yunis killed a Jewish settler - targeted buildings used by militants.

Khan Yunis residents gather up their remaining belongings

An Israeli missile strike on the camp overnight killed a Palestinian man.

The violence comes amid tight security as Israelis commemorate Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

1. I wonder if Israel is prepared to be a world pariah.

For that matter, I wonder if the U.S. is prepared to join them ...

2. I wonder why

Mortars were fired from Khan Yunis to kill a Jewish settler. What purpose did that serve?

Is there ever any "purpose" to killing someone?
