Mosque of the Red Death
Power Line — The IDF continues to post fascinating videos on the YouTube channel it set up to cover the Gaza offensive. Two days ago it posted the video below depicting the weapons cache and anti-aircraft cannon stored in a Gaza mosque.

Horovitz notes: Amid all the international criticism of Israel's fighting tactics in Gaza these past few days, from the gentle to the hysterical, from the supercilious chiding about disproportionate response to the vicious Nazi comparisons, one prominent aspect has ...

On destroying weapons-laden mosques
Israel Matzav — On destroying weapons-laden mosques This is from the New York Times article on the Goldstone report: Israel repeatedly accused Hamas of using mosques to shelter armed men or munitions, and a report by Israel said an attack against the Maqadmah mosque in Jabaliya had killed six known militants. But the Human Rights Council report said the attack came during evening prayers, when some 300 men and women were in the mosque, and killed 15 people. There were no secondary explosions to indicate the presence of an arms cache. If Israel wanted to destroy a mosque suspected as an arms cache, it should have done so in the middle of the night, Mr. ...

What happened at the al-Maqdamah mosque?
Israel Matzav — What happened at the al-Maqdamah mosque? The Goldstone Report accuses Israel of a 'massacre' at the al-Maqdamah mosque in Gaza City. According to Goldstone, fifteen people were killed when an Israeli shell hit the mosque during prayers on January 3, 2009. Writing in YNet, Johnathan Dahoah HaLevi has a different take on what happened at the mosque. What really happened at the Ibrahim al-Maqadmah mosque, named for one of the heads of Hamas’ military-terrorist wing? The Goldstone Committee version is problematic because of its many essential failures and weak spots. The committee members relied exclusively on reports from ...
