After accusations of allowing the UNRWA ambulances and resources to be used by terrorists to ferry gunmen and rockets throughout Gaza with impunity, UNRWA Commissioner Peter Hansen responded that it would be impossible for a rocket to be loaded into an ambulance with one hand and that it looked more like a portable stretcher.

It's highly possible that both the Israelis and Peter Hansen may be right. The video that shows the equipment being loaded into the van, driven off, parked, unloaded, set up, launched, and then the van used to get away from the scene may be demonstrating a whole new technology developed by the Palestinians.

Behold, the Qassam Rocket-Powered Mobile Stretcher!

Palestinian Red Crescent partnerships with Magen David Adom require cooperation after terror attacks, but the roadblocks at Erez prevent scores of willing volunteers to pour into Tel Aviv, Sderot and Ashkelon after these attacks take place. Unwilling to be thwarted from lending a helping hand, Hamas and Islamic Jihad engineers have teamed with the UNRWA and ICRC to equip and train squads of Qassam Stretcher crews to launch these new rocket-powered mobile stretchers into Israel during terror attacks. First responders can now expect handy, ready-to-use foldable stretchers in the event of terror attacks.

Or so they thought. Their guidance systems are crude, and they tend to blow up on impact, but the Palestinians remain undaunted and are focusing on extending the range of these rocket-powered mobile stretchers to cover more of Israel. Once all of Israel is within range of these humanitarian supplies, they can work the bugs out of the guidance and explodes-on-impact-killing-more-children issues.

So three cheers for Peter Hansen and his UNRWA staff for hitting the blackboards and coming up with this new tool in the War On Terror! And shame on the Israelis for making snap judgements and assumptions about this mobile-stretcher launching technology meant to save lives instead of snuff them out.
