#4 Okay, let's map this into the previous post about Iran sending Fajar missles to Gaza.

Any bets?

#5 I'm perplexed. The Israeli Navy has a small fleet of gunboats, many of which are stationed off the coast of Gaza to prevent smuggling. Have the smugglers been getting past the Israelis? That's the sort of thing that should be readily known given satellite imagery -- hard to hide a ship tied up at harbor in Gaza.

This seems like an empty pledge to me. It would be more useful if they pledged to stop the tunneling, and meant it.

#7 The Israeli Navy has a small fleet of gunboats, many of which are stationed off the coast of Gaza to prevent smuggling.... This seems like an empty pledge to me.

Not if you put the two lines above together in context.

#8 "Oh look, Captain. There goes another one!"

"You've interrupted my tea! Get back to polishing that handrail."

"Besides, I get off duty in 30 minutes."
