| #7 "...but mostly IAF missiles" I dunno, Frank. Are you sure it's not that Allen wanted the IAF missiles to strike their target because he's pissed at the Hezzies, et al., who keep misinterpreting what he really wants? After all, Islam is the religion of peace, right? Right? What's that noise? Sounds like some crickets got into the house.... |

| #5 Targeting a Hamas weapons factory, as seen in YouTube here. And it's up to around 100 rockets, missiles and things. It seems the Gazans are blowing off steam, while Israel is clearing the decks for action elsewhere. |

| #3 I thought that Israelis were better at math. Don't they realize that it's the fifth or sixth digit that is significant in counting terrorist bodies? |

| #1 More from JPost: The barrage of rockets followed an IAF air strike that killed the secretary general of the Popular Resistance Committees, Zuhair Qaisi. The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) swiftly called for retaliation following the first IAF strike that killed Qaisi, as well as senior PRC member Ahmad Hanini. A third man was also injured in the attack. The IAF struck a vehicle in a move to thwart a large-scale terror attack that was in its last stages of preparation, according to the IDF spokesperson. |
