International News Title: Terrorism Without Borders: Doctors Without Borders nurse opens fire on Israelis on Gaza border JERUSALEM: Israel said an MSF nurse shot at troops on the Gaza border this week, a charge the medical charity said Friday it was investigating as it confirmed the death of an employee. “Doctors Without Borders (MSF) confirms that one of its employees, Hani Mohammed Almajdalawi, was killed in Gaza on Monday, August 20, 2018,” the organization said in a statement. “MSF is working to verify and understand the circumstances regarding this extremely serious incident, and is not able to comment further at this stage,” it added. COGAT, the Israeli defense ministry body responsible for activities in the Palestinian territories, issued a statement late Thursday slamming MSF as “Terrorism Without Borders.” “Hani Al-Almajdalawi, who tried to infiltrate through the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip while he was armed with a rifle, opened fire toward military forces and even threw an explosive device at them,” it said. COGAT said Almajdalawi was “a nurse who worked for the international organization Doctors Without Borders.” MSF has around 200 local and foreign staff in Gaza and in May the charity condemned Israel’s use of force in border protests as “unacceptable and inhuman.” It described the army’s policy as “shooting with live ammunition at demonstrators, on the assumption that anyone approaching the separation fence is a legitimate target.” At least 172 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire on the Gaza border in mass protests which began on March 30. One Israeli soldier was shot dead by a Palestinian sniper in July. Israel maintains that its use of force is necessary to defend the border and stop infiltrations and attacks. Israeli authorities did not immediately respond to requests on Friday to confirm Almajdalawi’s death and detail where his body was being held. The Israeli military on Monday released a terse statement on a border gunfight which did not name Almajdalawi or confirm that he has been killed. “A terrorist shot at IDF troops in the northern Gaza Strip, in response IDF troops shot toward the terrorist,” the army said, referring to the Israel Defense Forces. It said that no soldiers were wounded but made no mention of any Palestinian casualties. The border incident occurred despite attempts by Egypt and UN officials to reach a long-term truce between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist movement that runs the Gaza Strip.
Poster Comment: What is truly needed is couple of DAISY CUTTERS dropped on Gaza - with the effect of Draino on clogged pipes Israel las the right to defend itself. Hiding behind a humanitarian organization is always the cowards way. Siding with the Muslims won't fool Israel or any other rational person. This is true of screening passengers boarding airliners. We humiliate and feel up everybody while the Israelis immediately know who the bad guys are.
