BEIT HANUN, Gaza Strip — Palestinian mothers and wives braved Israeli helicopter gunships Friday, November 3, to rescue 15 fighters besieged in a northern Gaza mosque, using their bodies as human shields.
"We risked our lives to free our sons", said Um Mohammed, a woman in her 40s, after the daring rescue that followed protests against a bloody Israeli operation in the northern Gaza Strip that has killed 24 Palestinians, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP). http://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2006-11/03/01.shtml
