الشهيدة امنة ابو عودة و الشهيدة انتصار علي ……وكفى …لقد قالوا ما لم يقوله الرجال لقد روت دمائهم الذكية دفاعا عن ابنائهم واخوانهم وازواجهم وابائهم.. لقد هبوا دفاعا عن الرجال,,
لم تعد الكلمات معبرة ولا الدموع مطهرة …اخشى انني لا اقدر على التعبير وانا مثلكم من قتلهم وتركهم وحدهم فلم يجدوا من رجال ليدافعوا عن الرجال …فخرجوا هم ليبقى على قيد الحياة من يقول لا للظالمين ومرحبا بالجنة وعدل الرحمن…
وهذا كلام قد يكون معبرا وشارحا لما حدث فاعذروني فانا لا اقبل في ان انقل او ان ارثيهم فهم اشرف من ان نرثيهم نحن من نحيا حياة الهوان..

Israel Kills 2 Women During Mosque Siege
By GREG MYRE
JERUSALEM, Nov. 3 — Israeli troops fired at a large crowd of unarmed Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip today as the women approached a mosque to help Palestinian militants holed up inside. Two women were killed and about 10 were injured, according to hospital workers.
The shooting provoked widespread outrage among Palestinians.
The Israeli military said its fire was directed at Palestinian gunmen who were hiding among the women as they marched toward the Um al-Nasir mosque in Beit Hanun, the town in the northeastern Gaza Strip where Israeli troops and militants have been battling for the past three days. The Israelis said eight militants were shot, and that they were not aware that women were hit, but were investigating.
Ismail Haniya, the Palestinian prime minister, angrily called on the international community to “come here and witness the daily massacres that are being carried out against the Palestinian nation.”
Mr. Haniya also praised the women “who led the protest to break the siege of Beit Hanun.”
The shooting, which was captured by television cameras, was the most dramatic episode so far in the fighting in Beit Hanun. Israeli forces entered the town early on Wednesday in an attempt to stop Palestinian militants from firing rockets from the area into Israel.
As Israeli forces pursued the militants in the town on Thursday, an estimated 60 gunmen dashed inside the Um al-Nasir mosque, initiating a standoff that lasted through the night.
Israeli troops in armored vehicles surrounded the mosque. For several hours, soldiers used loudspeakers to call on the militants to surrender, and several did, according to the military. The Israelis also fired tear gas and stun grenades into the mosque in an attempt to force the gunmen out.
Around 3 a.m. today, the gunmen in the mosque began firing on the Israeli soldiers, who shot back, and heavy exchanges ensued, the military said.
The Israeli army called in an armored bulldozer and used it to knock down one wall of the mosque compound, the military and Palestinian witnesses said.
Early this morning, a Palestinian radio station called on women in the town to march to the mosque and support the gunmen inside. A short time later, hundreds of women, dressed in flowing black abayas and wearing head scarves, headed to the the scene.
As they approached the mosque, shots rang out, but the women continued marching. A moment later, a number of women were hit, and the crowd scattered. Some of the wailing women turning back, while others kept advancing toward the mosque, climbing over improvised dirt barriers set up by the Israeli forces.
“We heard the call for women to help the fighters, and we decided to go,” said Mona Abu Jasir, 37, who was hit by a bullet in the right leg. “We had no weapons, and we were walking toward the mosque when I was shot.”
Television footage showed at least one man in the crowd, though there was no indication that he had a weapon. The man was shot and fell to the ground, and was surrounded by women until rescue workers arrived.
One marcher, Suhad el-Masri, 28, said she and several of her relatives were carrying abayas — long flowing gowns — and scarves to give to the men.
“We took them so they could disguise themselves as women and escape,” said Ms. Masri. Her sister, Hiba Rajab, 20, sustained serious injuries when she was shot in both legs and her left arm.
In the ensuing chaos, some women reached the mosque, and the gunmen managed to slip away, the Israeli military and Palestinian witnesses said. It was not clear whether the gunmen dressed as women to facilitate their escape. Shortly after the standoff ended, the roof of the mosque collapsed, apparently from the cumulative damage sustained in the fighting.
Palestinian hospitals identified the two women who were killed as Amna Abu Oudah, 42, and Intissar Ali, 40.
Later in the day, ab
