2014-07-28
I had my doubts about this, considering the source, but Washington Free Beacon's carrying it, too.

#10  Palastinians are excellent rock throwers, very accurate!

#9  "blew vast clouds of fart-smell across Gaza"

What makes you think they'd notice?

#8  Maybe they should try throwing rocks.

#7  Silliness.
Trophy, it is good but doesn't change much in Hamas account.
For Hamas military resistance is not crucial: being able to harrass and win media support is their war.

#6  So, how does it work?

#5  So why would Israel give them five days to re-group?

Good question. A lull in the fighting provides the terrorists an opportunity to move about, communicate, and be monitored by 'overhead' and other collection platforms and systems.

#3   I was sort of hoping for giant fans that blew vast clouds of fart-smell across Gaza

But Steve, why would you want to improve the atmosphere in Gaza?

I was hoping that this was pumping the tunnels full of methane.

#2  Does this defeat the Hell Fire and similar missiles? Appears so.

#1  Point defense for tanks. That's pretty cool. Interesting that it works at short engagement ranges, which means the peril of urban combat is greatly reduced.

Although from the name, I was sort of hoping for giant fans that blew vast clouds of fart-smell across Gaza. It's a rather small place, you know, despite being the hive of scum and villainy that it is.
