#2 The pizza IDF site is working.

Enjoy, ladies and gentlemen! ;)

(And for the usual trolls that will check this thread out later....you could send one to a family in Sderot who is caught in the middle of all this if you were serious about "peace".....just a thought.)

#3 from a comment at AOSHQ, apparently from Ynet:

Abu Zakaria Al-Jamal's house was bombed in one of the airstrikes. According to the IDF, his job was to direct the firing of rockets and was in charge of rocket launching cells.

The house of Ismail Ghanem, a member of Hamas' military wing, was bombed in the town of Beit Lahiya. According to the IDF, Ghanem is one of the main people responsible for the firing of Grad rockets at Israel.

The IAF also bombed the house of Izz al-Din Haddad, head of Hamas' military wing in the eastern part of Gaza city, and the car of a Hamas activist who according to the IDF was unloading weapons from his car to a Gaza storehouse. Navy forces attacked Hamas posts, training camps and rocket launching pads.

#5 I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting itchy for the ground game in Gaza. Sounds like Hamas is going to try to stand and fight as soldiers. What a glorious destruction that would.

#6 Cornsilk - Pizza IDF, perhaps my favorite website for in the weird, cool, only-in-the-internet-era category.

I still laugh when I recall the comment left there by one pizza donor (this must have been sometime during the first Dubya administration): "consider these pizzas a small down payment compensating for the behavior of Colin Powell". Hilarious.

Generally though the comments there are of the nice but strictly serious variety ("the Rothstein family sends its prayers for your safety and thanks for defending us all" blah blah blah).

#9 "[...]was in charge of rocket launching cells."

Terrorist or non-terrorist, middle management always gets the ax.
