#2 "...Siege of Gaza..., said that the chain will stretch to 40 kilometers in length, from Rafah in the south to the Erez crossing, and will include 40,000 children."
So far (mid pm local time) only about 5000 have participated.

#3 Commanders have received orders to stop entry into Israel "by all means," including sniper fire against the legs of the demonstrators.

Good, but not good enough.

Hamas terrorists continue to refuse to wear uniforms contrary to Geneva Conventions. Merely declare that, because of that policy, ALL un-uniformed individuals approaching the border, regardless of weapons status, will be considered un-uniformed combatants.

Appearance of children will be considered as a use of child soldiers on part of Hamas.

Don't aim for the legs.

Aim for the family jewels.

#7 Last night, at almost 10 PM, expecting the worst, the Israeli embassy in Washington took the unusual step of issuing a preemptive statement on what was believed to be an impending public-relations disaster:

Hamas is behind an intentional action that yet again places Palestinian civilians on the front lines. Israel does not interfere in demonstrations taking place inside the Gaza Strip, but Israel will protect its borders and will prevent any violations of its sovereign territory. Israel is acting to prevent any deterioration of the situation but wishes to unequivocally clarify that if this does happen, the sole responsibility lies directly on Hamas shoulders.

I don't think we're on the Egyptian border anymore, Filthy Infidel Beast Toto...
