Surgical precision killing is a technological skill of sophisticated weapon delivery. This looks more like butchery with a dull knife. What it looks like is worth at least a thousand words. From reports at the links referenced subsequently in this post it appears that precision killing was done surgically in the old fashion low tech way by Israeli soldiers and a gun.
What can I find out about this picture and what happened?
Wikipedia describes it here at this link. The village is 500 meters from the border with Israel.
This link tells what happened there. It also has a picture of destruction. This is a summary of some of the report at the link.
Khuzaa came under heavy shelling 21 July. Israeli army ordered 10,000 people to leave. One third stayed. 47 were bodies were brought to a main hospital but the actual number is unknown. Israeli troops had entered the town. People were arrested.
The pictures look like the tactical purpose was mass destruction. Recent reports about the creation of a buffer zone in Palestine by Israel to clear the zone of locations for missile attacks on Israel was the strategic objective. It certainly looks like nobody would want to live here any more.
Another report on Khuzaa is here.
This is ethnic cleansing with an excuse, any excuse will do to justify it but it is ethnic cleansing being done by Israel.
On this anniversary of the Tonkin Gulf incident we see what excuses are good for.
Juan Cole at Informed Comments, has this contribution post. I respect and admire his honesty, Reports on Khuzaa at this link.
The under laying details of the situation as it developed among the major participating factions and their interests as reported by this analysis is complicated. The bigger picture is one of simple territorial expansion by Israel of land. Always pushing for more, building more, expanding domination and control with the support of the US.
Khuza'a
came under heavy shelling on Monday night, 21 July. Israeli army
ordered all the inhabitants of the village, nearly 10,000 people to
leave, but a third decided to stay, hoping the bombing and the clashes
with the Palestinian fighters in the village would be over soon. But
after a horrific night, almost everyone tried to evacuate the next day.
The witnesses described what they saw as a massacre, with bodies
scattered in the streets. Khuza'a remined a closed military zone, and
only the International Committe of the Red Cross managed to secure a few
brief incursions into the village to evacuate some of the injured,
killed and the civilians. - See more at:
