You Can Run But You Can't Hide - Even In A Mosque

The IDF is continuing its intensive operation in Gaza, going after the terrorists there. Last night at least 60 of them tried to hide in a mosque in order to escape from the soldiers, thinking that it would provide a shelter for them. This of course did not prevent them from shooting from there at the soldiers. IDF snipers were able to shoot at least one of these terrorists. The IDF then called to the terrorists to surrender, and when they didn't, they started using bulldozers to destroy the surrounding buildings. After some time a ceiling in the mosque fell in, injuring the terrorists.

The IDF let ambulances in to evacuate the wounded and take them to hospitals. As of this writing (Friday, 7:15 am Israel time) the operation hasn't been halted.

UPDATE: Sunday am - According to this Ynetnews article it seems that many of the terrorists dressed up as women in order to escape, knowing that the IDF wouldn't shoot them.

why couldn't we just let them die? or be taken care of by all their ambulances?

I think Israel should just let loose. It doesn't seem to matter anymore who they shoot in gaza, a terrorist can be anyone these days, the Arabs have seen to it that their women are now targets.
