"Israel Defense Forces troops razed some 20 Palestinian houses adjacent to the Phildelphi route in the southern Gaza Strip in a pre-dawn raid along the Israeli-Egyptian border Sunday, Palestinian sources said.

Residents of the demolished homes joined hundreds of other refugees living in makeshift tents, schools and mosques in Rafah in south Gaza.

The IDF spokesman confirmed that it demolished some houses but refused to give details, saying only, "The IDF destroyed several houses in Rafah."

Since the beginning of this month's IDF Operation Rainbow aimed at uncovering arms-smuggling tunnels in south Gaza, a total of some 80 houses have been demolished in the Tel Sultan and Brazil neighborhoods of the Rafah refugee camp."

1. Well...

There goes the IDF, "protecting and honoring Palestinian lives".

The homes were apparently demolished after residents ran away from gunfire in the area, allowing the army to say it was destroying vacant houses used for terrorist purposes.

Ahhh...so moral...

How many tunnels have been discovered on this latest road trip??
