[edit] Why?

Is there any word from the Israelis as to why they felt justified in bombing a civilian airport into inoperativeness in a country without an airforce? Shia1 15:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

They believed the airport was being used to transport weapons into Gaza during the al-Aqsa Intifada. They had already intecepted vessels engaged in this business, so airborne smuggling does not require a great a leap of imagination. 160.84.253.241 14:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Such a question is very revealing of he who asks it. 67.87.92.56 (talk) 05:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
