    Dear Declan,
    
    I contacted a friend in Israel who covers events there and taps into
    primary material, and I thought I'd pass along the relevant statement
    by the Israeli army.

    You know, considering what is going on, this should be the least of her 
    problems.  Maybe her kids should read a book.  I've heard of one called 
    "The Koran" that is supposed to be rather popular in that part of the world.
