Liveblogging The Battle Of Gaza: Day 6
2014-07-13
[IsraelTimes] Gazoo City commando raid concludes with three Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, dead, four IDF maimed

As war with Hamas enters sixth day, Israel steps up air strikes after major barrage on Tel Aviv area; IDF fires into Leb after 3 rockets hit Galilee; Army tells Gazooks to leave areas in northern Strip; Death toll in Strip reaches 157; US woman dies of heart attack after siren in J'lem

Operation Protective Edge entered its sixth day Sunday, with no end in sight. Hamas fired rockets throughout Saturday, hitting southern and central Israel, with a major barrage on the Tel Aviv area in late evening. An American tourist died of a heart attack after sirens wailed in Jerusalem, a day after a Haifa woman died in similar circumstances. Paleostinian reports say at least 150 Paleostinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes, including more than 15 in a strike late Saturday aimed at Hamas's Gazoo police chief. The Times of Israel is liveblogging events as they unfold.

#19  Maybe Israel can generate transients and noise in the electric power supplied to Gaza that will pass through the transformers and cook all their electronics far and wide. Bwahahahaha!

#18  "the gaza electric supply will be reduced starting now not because of Israel but because a gaza rocket hit a transmission station on the supply line to gaza"

#17  Ah Dr White, presumption of innocence doesn't apply to Evil Zionist entity.

#16  There's a real opportunity here: the Israelis could bomb all sorts of stuff in Gaza and when people complain, just reply, "no it wasn't us, it was an errant Hamas rocket."

It's like a perp falling down the flight of stairs at the police station. Elebenteen times.

Try to prove them wrong.

#9  BTW what happens when a Hamas rocket hit the Dome of the Rock?

#8  If you turn off the fricking water after three days they will just be crawling to their rocket launchers.

#7  If you take out all the people, then it doesn't matter a whit how many rockets launchers are left on the ground.

#6  I think this is more about weapons than people.

Most of the rockets that Hamas uses are relatively simple to use and there are lots of people who are willing to be in their rocket brigade.

destroying the rocket launchers is critical as is knocking out the rocket stockpile

we'll know that the IDF is getting close to its goal post if the daily number of rockets declines to 50 or fewer per day and if the daily number of long range rockets gets below 4 or so.

#5  Surgical, smurgical. Rubbleize it.

#4  Taking out the leadership is not enough. You have to take out the number three's. Problem is that there are always more number three's. So you have to be inclusive...
Posted by: Steve White   2014-07-13 10:50  

#3  The Israelis are too worried about being surgical. Haven't we learned that just taking out some leadership is not effective?

#1  the gaza city raid wasn't just about hitting a rocket launching site, it was also to probe the capabilities of Hamas ground defense
