airstrikes on smuggling tunnels and rocket launching sites

Hey, we were using those!

Thatswhat I call urban renewal!

Does anyone have an approximate idea of the number of rockets that were fired into Israel from Gaza during the Phony Ceasefire?

nice, all those secondary explosions = win

Not a good day to be a bad guy.

Take notes Hamas, now that's how you fire a rocket.

Not a bad idea to corral all of Hamas into Gaza and then blow the crap out of them.

Well done.

Who named it the "Philadelphia Corridorl"? Talk about an oxymoron!

re: #5 Leonidas Hoplite

Does anyone have an approximate idea of the number of rockets that were fired into Israel from Gaza during the Phony Ceasefire?

I've heard estimates of 3000 plus over a two-year period.
During the phony cease-fire, about ten per day.

The secondaries are proof of the real use of the tunnels. Not that anyone in the MSM will point that out, or show that sequence.

CIVILIAN Tunnels.
CIVILIAN Launching Sites.
CIVILIAN Hamas HQ.

(BTW- Liveleak is filled with more anti-Semitic posters like Red Pill from New Zealand - yes, the irony is killing me, too-and commentors than any other video website.)

Was that a secondary explosion when the Hamas HQ went up, or just a second SDB hitting the target? Can't quite tell.

Wow! I didn't know powdered milk could cause such powerful secondary explosions.

"Israel, F**k Yeah!"

re: #10 MandyManners

Who named it the "Philadelphia Corridorl"? Talk about an oxymoron!

[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

I'm still amazed by this precision strike technology. Before the days of smart bombs, you just carpet bombed the target with dumb bombs.

Sad to say, depopulation of Gaza may become necessary if its rulers can't stop attacks on Israel. The Egyptian aren't exactly eager to accept these hard-boiled terrorist eggs.

Just close the damn border!
No food, no water, no medical supplies!
Let Arabs take care of Arabs!
Yea, right!

re: #13 jwb7605

3,000 fired in 2008 total. Approximately 10 per day during the six month hudna. You never went more than a week without the terrorists firing off kassams or mortars. Heck, the hudna barely lasted a week before the terrorists got busy firing the kassams and mortars.

Just don't tell anyone that the Europeans were responsible for the Philadelphi Corridor.

Just like in S Lebanon, the tunnels, weapons, etc, increased incredibly.

Funny how that doesn't seem to come out in all the MSM coverage, rr should I say Fauxny Coverage? of the whole situation. I guess we shouldn't be surprised.

Thats what I call precision bombing!

Heh - growing rockets in greenhouses, were they? No wonder there's no food.

Oh - and that Hamas headquarter?
How does that square with Gaza being one big refuge camp?

(ot: Jason Lewis guest hosting Rush's show - and he is kicking ass)

Gaza needs a bailout.

Peace Through Superior Fire Power.
It is a lesson to be learned over and over and over and over...

Anybody else think Israel is securing it's flanks and cutting down on the bad guys before they hit Iran? Reports say that this current Gaza Op was planned for six months. One doesn't spend this much time planning/intel gathering if this was just a 1-off strike. This will be sustained for a while before the Iran strikes. Something big is around the corner...

re: #28 unrealizedviewpoint

Baby Milk Factory, no wait that one's been done.

Aerial strike on missile storage site disguised as greenhouses.

They can't even fake it well.

Too bad they won't use some rapid degradation poison in the tunnels, sort of like Raid fumigator for terrorists.
(if it didn't degrade the poisons would be scraped out and used against Israel).

Why doesn't Hezbollah come to Hamas' rescue?

One step at a time.. one threat at a time...

from al-Reuters yesterday:

Israel expanded its air campaign to the southern Gaza Strip, bombing some 40 smuggling tunnels running under the border with Egypt, a network that is a lifeline to the outside world.

re: #15 Dianna

We can keep linking it and sending it to them. If nothing else, it will annoy them.

Yeah, it is not like any of them have a conscience!

Looks like Israel is delivering much-needed supplies of high explosive to the suffering Gaza Palestinians. And darn precisely, too.

No, no bias here. Just leave out all the parts where the Arabs sought Israel's destruction from 1947 onwards; the part where the Arabs blockaded the Strait of Tiran; the attacks on Israel leading up to 1967; the 1970 war of attrition; the incessant terrorist attacks by Hizbullah; Hamas; PLO; AAMB; etc. all with the wink and nod of their terror masters in Damascus, Tehran, Beirut, Jordan, Egypt, etc.

Let's also forget the more recent history - of the past six months:

In June 2008, Hamas and Israel agreed, indirectly via Egyptian mediation, to a cease-fire to halt missiles being fired into Israel and stop Israeli incursions into Gaza. The cease-fire lapsed less than a week before Israel's massive crackdown.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad violated the ceasefire from the outset, carrying out kassam and mortar attacks almost every day of the past six months. There was no cease-fire; it was a hudna, and only Israel was consigned to cease firing. Hamas and Islamic Jihad continued their firing with no/minimal reporting by MSNBC or other media outlets.

re: #36 faraway

Why doesn't Hezbollah come to Hamas' rescue?

Wait; Hizbullah is looking to see whether they can open a second front, and Iran isn't quite sure what they will gain from launching a second front.

A slowdown of weapons and drugs brought into Arab-occupied territories will not cease until the leaders are eliminated but this slow down is spot on.

re: #42 Cicero05

Looks like Israel is delivering much-needed supplies of high explosive to the suffering Gaza Palestinians. And darn precisely, too.

This aid should continue until the palestinians wave the white flag and accept that they have been defeated (ever since 1948).

Aerial Strike on Hamas Headquarters

Music to my ears and perhaps the Hamas Fools wouldn't be so hungry if they used those green houses to grow food instead of storing weapons.

The Qassams they launched at Ashkelon and Sderot didn't have the precision that these missiles have. That is what separates us from them. Even when we retaliate, we take every caution to protect the innocent. They just lob rockets indiscriminately over the fence.

Filthy pigs...*spit*

Yeah, I've heard that and read that elsewhere as well.

I'd tend to agree -- this is definitely an operation to clean up their back yard so they don't have to worry about it next time they turn to the north. Whether it be the Hezbos, Syrians, or Iranians.

re: #44 lawhawk

Iran is holding hizbALLAH back for when Israel hits their nuke facilities.

And get a load of this from the Carter piece:

In the afternoon Bob, Hrair, and I met with Khaled Mashaal and his fellow Hamas politburo members, all of whom are scientists, medical doctors, or engineers – none trained in religion.

Does this idiot even know what HAMAS means in English?!?

"There's no food in the market" because everything is a disguise for Hamas' weapons storage.

GBU-39

Just thinking out loud...

...instead of letting Bernie Madoff hang out in his apartment, can we send him to Gaza to help Hamas with their financial planning? Win-win solution?

I just noticed in one of the newscasts that alot of the palis have cell phones. I think if the cellphone service and somehow tv were knocked out there... it would definitely cause more of a discomfort than the bombing.

"There's no food in the market" because everything is a disguise for Hamas' weapons storage.

There is none in the markets because it is stockpiled in Hamas warehouses. They have been moving food and supplies through those tunnels for months. No one is going hungry there.

Hamas has said repeatedly that they didn't believe in any cease fire agreement with Israel. And, after firing over 3000 rockets into Israel I tend to believe they don't want a cease fire with Israel.

The Hamas employment program is digging tunnels and moving weapons. No wonder there isn't another Arab county that wants this group in their neighborhood.

re: #21 quickjustice

Nobody wants them.

Especially after the enhanced bandit attitude programming allowed after Oslo, anyone foolish to allow them is going to lose their own country.
Remember how they were willing to help Saddam sack and take Kuwait?
Remember how they were caught trying to set up a coup against the King of Jordan?
It is much worse after the indoctrination allowed by Israel.
No cluster bombs against mass rallys screaming "Death to Israel".
They didn't take a single hate teaching radio or TV station off the air, nor stop a single shipment of books at the border, even if those books deliberately lied about the history and encouraged the Pallys to "take back what is theirs".

If every Jew in Israel dropped dead tomorrow morning, while the Pallys were dismembering and otherwise desecrataing the corpses, the armies of Syria, Jordan, and Egypt would be rushing forward to defend their borders, Lebanon would be pushing Hez forward to join the Pally celebration, and every neighboring country would build Berlin Wall style borders, complete with armored pillboxes, to defend those walls.

The Pallys are cannon fodder, rabid raccoon style cannon fodder, useful against Israel but too dangerous to the rest of the Arab world to be allowed to contaminate them.

Hamas broadcast celebrates murdering Israeli civilians

Along with today's TV propaganda in which Hamas depicts itself as a victim, Hamas continues to portray itself as the heroic killer of Israelis. A video on Hamas "Al-Aksa" TV this morning blended pictures of Hamas fighters shooting at Israel with pictures of injured Israelis and medical evacuation scenes. In addition, the visuals include pictures of skulls dripping with blood, captioned: "Let t More..hem taste violent death".
Other narrations and texts include:

"Send them to Hell! Tear them to pieces!"

"Send them to Hell, Qassam missile!"

re: #92 notutopia

This time Israel should ignore any useless international pressures from the US or the UN. Corrosive policies is all they are.

This is what Hamas cares about

Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.

There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.

Ohhh, the poor "Palistinians" in Gaza can't get any food or milk...ah, gee whiz

They're doing a better job in this respect - their foreign ministry is out front getting this video public, doing the interviews, and countering any of the propagandists before they can really take hold. They still face an uphill battle against the entrenched anti-Israel sentiment in WaPo, NYT, CNN, etc. many of whom source their reports from Arab/Palestinian stringers whose affiliations and biases are anything but objective.

How long until we see 1000's of black clad seething and ULULULing Iranians saying they are going to Gaza to help their brothers.

Isreal should hold a press conference inviting anyone who wants to go to Gaza and fight to please come so we can kill you all at once.

#154 Iran has supposedly signed up 3,500 "volunteers". Of course they are offering 3 ways of fighting the Zionist entity: financially, technologically (think propaganda), and militarily.

For some reason I think most of them will pick one of the first two choices.

Does anyone else have the feeling that Hamas' now-destroyed HQ bore a very faint resemblance to the Hall of Justice?

You know, I'm getting a little frustrated with the Israelis here. Not saying it's a huge problem but I just think we should be getting better video of these strikes. With all the money in aid we send them, I think we deserve a little less grainy, maybe a few more angles to choose from. I mean, come on, I pay my taxes, I think I should be getting some better production values here.

I doesn't matter how much evidence the IAF posts to show they are attacking military targets. Evidence appeals to reason. As the Pope has noted on more than one occasion, Islam doesn't integrate very well with reason.

What if Hamas were to convince Cynthia McKinney that the Right Thing to Do is to sit down in front of an Israeli bulldozer, in protest...

Maybe they could commercialize on that concept, and open up a Gaza IHOP?

re: #32 chicagodudewhotrades

One can only hope they don't cave to "international pressure" and stop before accomplishing anything real. Israel needs to end this once and for all. No more phony cease-fires and truces that everyone knows Hamas and Hezbollah will not live up to.

I hope the IDF takes the UN Coward Hotline off the hook for the next few days and gets busy.

re: #21 quickjustice

I'm still amazed by this precision strike technology. Before the days of smart bombs, you just carpet bombed the target with dumb bombs.

Sad to say, depopulation of Gaza may become necessary if its rulers can't stop attacks on Israel. The Egyptian aren't exactly eager to accept these hard-boiled terrorist eggs.

After watching footage from MEMRI TV over the last few years I have wondered the same thing, but not about the terrorists. I have been wondering about next generation of the general public in Gaza. The Nazi party was never more than 15% of the German population, even with mandatory membership for government employees. A civilization can almost never support a "warrior class" of more than a few percentage points. It does not take the majority of Palistinian's to be willing to martyr themselves to make Gaza fall into the category of civilizations or states which had to be obliterated before they could be changed.

A little more rubble, a lot less trouble.

what fancy headquarters building? ;)

re: #18 HoosierHoops

Wow! I didn't know powdered milk could cause such powerful secondary explosions.

Actually, you'd be surprised how much of an explosion you could get with high-calorie foods in powdered form. The secret is that it has to be aerially dispersed. Flour mills have to be careful as do sugar mills. However, you're right; you don't get secondary explosions like that with stored food.

re: #156 Macker

Does anyone else have the feeling that Hamas' now-destroyed HQ bore a very faint resemblance to the Hall of Justice?

LOL, that is just SO wrong!

Hahahahahahaahha...Crucify that you scumbags...

Heard a Hamas-bot on NPR half an hour ago. The guy was bald-faced lying (not that this surprises me). Incredible they lie this blatantly, or think that people will believe them (sadly, the Arabs and far left libs probably do). He had the chutzpah to claim that Hamas was not firing rockets, the rockets were fired by "Israeli collaborators" on Israeli instructions.
...And he's also selling Manhattan bridges, if anyone's interested.

Among innumerable things about NPR that piss me off--they always, always let the Israelis speak first, so the Palestinians are able to say whatever they want unchallenged (they tend to do the same with Reps/Dems). The NPR interviewer (while obviously not believing that the rockets were fired by "collaborators) doesn't challenge him. Hamas guy asserts that Israel is targeting residential areas, schools, the university, mosques, etc.-- and there is no one to tell the listener that Hamas has been hiding mortars and rockets and weapons factories in them.

Garrr.

I don't know if it is going to happen this time. I have not been watching the polls over there. But eventually, the disconnect between "world opinion" and what Israelis' experience in their day to day lives will make wold opinion irrelevant.

Wow! There must have been many explosive cucumbers in that innocent greenhouse.

Yea team!

Instead of bombs, drop the moonbats in Gaza... from 2000 ft and without parachutes.
Those crazy heads will penetrate even the hardest bunker.

Realize that I talked in feet in order to you, American friends, to understand the altitude. If I would talk in meters (as it should be), you would need to make the conversion to that antiquate and obsolete system of yours...

All your feets belongs to us!

Exploding Hot-house Tomatoes: Scourge of Allah

This week on Montel.

That's the best movie I've seen in awhile!

Beautiful!

Secondaries are very nice. More popcorn and beer needed...

The solution does not reside with Israel since the Arabs do not want to be under Israeli rule. The only way forward is to give Gaza to be ruled by Egypt as it did before 1967. Egypt's intelligence services build up the Hamas in Gaza in order to "bleed" the Israelis, they armed or at least did not stop the stream of armament coming from Egyptian controlled Sinai peninsula into the Gaza Strip. This is a problem of their own doing so let them fix it. They have the incentive not to let Hamas to help the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt fight and topple the Egyptian government.

An Egyptian control of Gaza will make the inhabitants live a normal life without lobbing rockets into Israel and keep the peace into the Strip.

Reality: As I understand it, Egypt doesn't want Gaza back; palis having a habit of trying to take over any contry that is stupid enough to let them in.
