The
BBC has an
article about a hapless (and now dead) bunch of Palestinians:
Six people were killed in the Gaza Strip when an Israeli missile exploded amid attempts to dismantle it. The dead included two journalists, an Italian (Simone Camilli, a video journalist working for several international agencies, including The Associated Press, she is the first foreign journalist to be killed in Gaza in the current wave of conflict), a Palestinian, and a number of bomb disposal officers.
The incident happened in the town of Beit Lahiya, in the north of the Gaza Strip. It comes hours before a three-day ceasefire agreed between Israel and the Palestinians is due to expire. Indirect talks aimed at finding a long-term solution to the Gaza conflict having been taking place in Cairo, Egypt involving negotiators from the two sides.
Some two thousand people have died since the fighting in Gaza began on 8 July 2014. Those killed include more than nineteen hundred Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the UN. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers have been killed in the violence and three civilians in Israel have also died.
Rico says the lesson is that, when amateurs are defusing explosives, do
not stand very close...
