"Israeli tanks and troops thrust into Palestinian refugee camps and took command of the streets in this key West Bank city today, killing 31 Palestinians in one of Israel's largest military operations ever in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Seven Israelis were killed, including six in an ambush just inside the border with Lebanon. The attackers disguised as Israeli soldiers were reportedly Palestinians who slipped across Israel's previously quiet northern frontier - raising the prospect of a new front in the current Middle East conflict."
The key words here are "The attackers disguised as Israeli soldiers".
They would, if captured, been treated as spies.
Nic's right, no good guys. The question is, what can WE do. Any ideas?

The 31 Palestinians killed by the Israeli army inside the refugee camp are
not the "attackers disguised as Israeli soldiers" which was a separate incident in another place. Among the civilians killed by the Israeli army in yesterday's attacks was an Italian journalist for whose death Israel has apologized.
What can WE do? The USA, late yesterday, supported a UN resolution for an independent Palestinian State and an immediate ceasefire. This is the first time the USA has used its considerable influence in the UN to support the Palestinian cause for an independent State free of Israeli occupation. This may be the beginning of a new "peace" process. WE hope and pray.
