OPINION & COMMENT

The Immorality of Palestinian Combatants and Noncombatants

After 11 days of often intense fighting in northern Gaza between Israeli military forces and Palestinian militants, an Israeli tank came under heavy fire one night at about 1 a.m. Israeli forces responded by shooting back at the apparent sources of the fire. Certainly those whose lives were at stake were fully alert, but visibility is certainly not the best at that time.
