Subject: Destruction

F16 destroyed the largest security building in Gaza. The compound was built by the European Union for Arafat's security services. Four missles leveled the building to the ground; also police stations were hit and totally destroyed today. It is mentioned that 230 cites were targeted by the Israeli warplanes. Large number of civilians including children died and injured in today's attacks. At Rafah border one Palestinian was shot dead, then is other shootings, one Egyptian officer was shot dead. Situation on the border is terribly bad too. The Israeli ground attack seems possible!

Raid are still going on in Gaza Strip. More raids on Khan Younis. Lats night more than ten raids on Khan Younis. Two of it were on the building of Khan Younis governoate. In Gaza an old mosque in Shejaiah (East of Gaza) was hit and demolished. In the north of Gaza, an aircraft his a cart drawn by a donkey to kill a family that were leaving the place to save their lives. The irony is thta it was claimed that they hit a car loaded with GRAD rockets! That poor family had their belonings with them on the donkey cart! Every hour more civilans dies by Israeli bombs. There was a another raid at the Islamic University again, and the former Preventive security deparmtent compunds again. Building at Al-Azhar Univeristy inflected damages too.

Israeli aircraft are still flying in the sky over our heads. We expect more action against Gaza tonight! The Palestinians in Gaza do not have any kind of anti-aircraft weapons! This is the start of 2009. This is the Happy New Year and the final words of the failed and shameful Bush's administration and democracy!,
Yesterday witnesses large demonstrations in Cairo. Protesters shouted slogans against President Hosni Bubarak calling him traitor, and Death to Mubarak, Israel go out of the land of the Nile, and other hostile statements!
