The Islamic death cult is the gift that
keeps on giving today.
THE start of the holiest feast on the Muslim calendar was a subdued affair in Gaza last night, with Islamic Jihad vowing to bypass festivities to avenge the assassinations of 13 of its members - including its key rocket engineers.
But I thought they wanted
truce talks?
But Gaza was once again in a state of high alert. Many in the isolated Strip say they cannot afford to celebrate the festival this year. Others say they are in no mood for festivities after a series of targeted assassinations by the Israeli Air Force on Monday, which devastated the senior ranks of Islamic Jihad.
The strikes killed the commander of rocket firing operations and at least two of the engineers who manufacture the makeshift Qassam rockets that have been fired into Israel on an almost daily basis for the past year.
Islamic Jihad mosques in central Gaza seethed yesterday with balaclava-clad Islamic Jihad mourners, many waving the black banners of the militant group and vowing to attack Israel.
Israeli intelligence officials suggested to local media yesterday that some of the estimated 300 Gazans allowed out of the besieged Strip to attend the Haj in Mecca could be taken to Iran to receive paramilitary training.
Eid al-Adha is known as the festival of the sacrifice and Muslim families customarily sacrifice a goat or sheep and share the meal with Muslims who cannot afford it.
The have-nots in Gaza this year have grown dramatically, with a tripling in the price of livestock making it impossible for many families to take part.
Maybe they can have a rockets for goats buyback program.
