GAZA (Reuters) - An Israeli tank and two armored bulldozers entered the northern Gaza Strip on Thursday after a rocket fired by Palestinian militants there landed inside a large Israeli city for the first time, witnesses said.
They said the bulldozers began felling trees in the Beit Hanoun area. An Israeli security source confirmed the operation. "We are leveling shrubbery, bushes and trees used as shelter for the (militants) who fired the Qassam rocket," the source said.

This is inexcusable. Destruction of trees is despicable, though less than destruction of humans.
