2009-01-06 |
Major clashes between IDF troops and Hamas gunmen reportedly took place late Monday evening in the northern Gaza Strip. The clashes marked the first time the IDF extended its ground operation into the densely populated Gaza urban centers. Live footage from Al-Jazeera showed numerous explosions and fires in the area where the soldiers were said to be operating. Heavy firepower could be heard, and reports told of dozens of artillery shells, as well as air support which had been concentrated in the area. Just over an hour earlier, the IAF bombed at least 40 smuggling tunnels along the Philadelphi Corridor on Gaza's southern border with Egypt. There were no immediate reports of casualties in the strikes. |

#3 After the mosques, do the schools because they're just as bad. Reduce them all to rubble. |

#2 Any observed evidence of booby traps, retreat. Call in 1000 lb JDAMs, or even better, bring up a tank and fire away from 300-500 yards. Keep pumping them in until it's just a smoking mass of rubble. Mosks have priority. Destroy them all. Take down all their hovels if necesssary. These dimwits elected this trash and fully support them in every way. Time to show them what that vote meant. |

#1 From The Muqata: 4:51 PM A senior IDF officer in the Gaza Strip said, "Many houses in the area are booby-trapped and underground tunnels were built under them meant to enable the kidnapping of soldiers." According to the officer, forces discovered a booby-trapped mosque, and among the weapons, found motorcycles meant to be used for kidnapping soldiers. (YNET) |
