IAF hits Gaza tunnels in wake of bombing attempt by sea

as if they cast doubt on his findings regarding operation cast lead. if anything, they highlight the primative ineffectiveness of the homemade weapons whose use israel claims necessitated its strategy of massive destruction during operation cast lead.

When you state by any means do you mean flyong plane into buildings killing our working children. THe only crime they commited was going to work. Trying to bring down a plane on Christmas. Was your child on the plane. The persons doing the bidding of the killers are not poor but educated. Something doesnt sound right, Please answer

sh you should shush unless you been there while the bombs and bullets flew.

to some like minded people. you must be mexican or spanish or so? verry happy person ain't you? what occupation are you talking about ? what is the monetary name of palestinian money? what is their national anthem? what is their political institution? you want more questions?

oh poor I.... is your mind so scrambled up with hate and selfpitty that you hate everyone? these people were free then they run away because they where told too by murderers,then their allies did not want them. Allies ? jordan, syria, iracq, iran; they all refused them citizenship, now they feeding those poor people with weapons to use them as cannon fodder, all for their sick selfesteem as yours. Palestine was from syria- lebanon iracq and saudi including israel,only israel accepted all religions (as long as they obeyed the rules)when i was in israel visiting bethlehem i asked a dozen children if they should not be at school" we palestinians do not have to go to school was the answer. so i gave them nothing, because nthey only wanted to get everything free from handsouts. Sorry for your soul man you realy need someone to show you what real love is all about, and it is not to schoot or kill or murder or bumb or use your ideas but only love will subside and live. saudi

where is JOSHUA? OR a samson maybe? or our HEBREW not jews only mighty men of HASHEM. be bold ,be strong for Adonai is with you. yes why should we Hebrews be ruled by yankies or poms oranything else .Israel is able to support itself,(not at this point maybe but if we trust in the almighty.)We received this land from HASHEM then from the UN, who now act as the world police that has nothing to say except to news papers, who are liers anyway

Or in this case, Israel can have the Gazans' barrels. Maybe there will be some sort of heavenly afterlife for nations, and in it, Israel will desperate struggle to resist while its heavily armed tormentors decry its actions as terrorism. Funny thing is, that actually happened in a previous life. The anniversary was just commemorated.

Bombing tunnels in response to an attack by sea suggests a certain irrationality. How about bombing fishing boats? Not that I would approve, but at least it wouldn't be a non-sequitur.

"CJ, Did you read the article? Terror groups launched rockets" Yes I read it. WHAT rockets? They were barrels of explosives. The kind folk use for illegally fishing in deep water .

pinpoint/surgical "accuracy" destroy deep tunnels, kill specific/individual "terrorists", all within the confines of the Gaza strip but Israeli intelligence can't find Shalit... don't these groups talk to each other or share target acquisition techniques/intelligence? Oh, wait! I know! He's not in a basement, he's on the top floor of a high-rise building... if he's moved, it's not in motorized vehicle... it's a donkey cart!

If you don't release pressure in one place it'll come out somewhere else. I see there's a plea by Amir Peretz for the Iron Dome elsewhere in today's Haaretz. After the Iron Dome we'll invent the Iron Corset, the Iron Basement and then the Iron Lung. And we'll all live happily ever after.

"And who did the IDF attack?..Gaza, the imprisoned populace run by Hamas, the group that had nothing to do with these floating barrels." The settlers who use such tactics call it the Price Tag method. The military saw how well it works and drew the obvious conclusions.

Gazans send barrels of bombs to Israel; Israel bombs Gaza. Everyone agrees that one of these attacks was legitimate retaliation against a ruthless enemy who has in the recent past killed many of our civilians; while the other was a terrorist war crime and crime against humanity, with the potential to kill many innocent civilians. I find myself agreeing with the second half of both theses.

goldstone was rendered mute at yale university when confronted by pro-israel supporters.(saw it on video). best regards, cipora. p.s. you should take a look at the debate on the other site regarding international law if you have the time.

Terrorism, the will to drive the jews to sea is the desire of Hamas e the other militant groups. They can't win by terror, only by a demilitarized state as PM told.

In Israel to harm civilians, this is a war crime. And about the tunnles, smuggling arms to a terrorist organization, without compromise with the peace process, is a act of war. They can't even be united, thats the why they are occupied.

The above is just a little note to Mr. Goldstone.

Judge, there is only one small problem with your thesis. The Gazans were fighting Israel before, when they still had their freedom. Prior to 1967, were Gazans the peaceful bunch ?? Judge, Israel will defend herself with WHATEVER IT TAKES. Time to tighten the screws, and not be so kind to a ruthless enemy. Just don't cry, Judge. As you said, WHATEVER IT TAKES, for evil to be subdued and extinguished.

probably by Hamas sattelite?

Right? Unfortunately only the guys firing the damned things actually know what they're aiming at.

The people of Gaza are not slaves. Certainly not to Israel. Or some Royal Crown. Freedom, is what they seek. Similar to the people of Iran. 8 more or so Iranians will be executed in the coming weeks, for they are truly fighting for Freedom. Freedom from a despotic regime that rules with a heavy hand. Notice that the people of Gaza are ruled in the same manner. Notice they cannot rise up. Notice that those that do, are executed without much media. Hamas calls them Fatah operatives. Good day.

Hamas cannot even reconcile with Fatah. Over a few points. Which they now find nauseating. Hamas continually places its own people in jeopardy. Reminds one, one throwing rocks at the windows of a Police Station. Maybe, the BBC with its Hard Talk program aired yesterday should be rebroadcast-ed and beamed into every Gazan household. The senior Hamas Official interviewed by Jonathan Sacker was enough to make many here truly aware of said "struggle", which could well be construed as somewhat similar to simple power hungry Regime wannabees. Good day.

Nothing illegal in digging tunnels, or smuggling arms to be used against an occupying power.

The pals must fight Israel until they earn their freedom. WHATEVER IT TAKES WITH WHATEVER MEANS. You'd do the same and more (and the jews did in the past).

Islamic Jihad said it had floated the explosives out to sea in a joint operation with two other groups including the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement. "Security officials said that terror actions at sea are carried out jointly by Fatah, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees. As far as is known, Hamas is not directly involved in these actions." Isn't Fatah the same group Israel sent arms & ammunition to 2 years ago? And who did the IDF attack?..Gaza, the imprisoned populace run by Hamas, the group that had nothing to do with these floating barrels.. Yes, that makes sense

Time to remove Hamas terrorist from Gaza for good.

The sub-head for this story is: "Attack comes after Palestinian militants fire a Qassam rocket at open field in western Negev" Sorry, but the terrorists were not firing a Qassam AT an open field. They were firing it at Sderot. Fortunately, it hit an open field. As to the remarks by Abu Saed, considering the currents in the area, the barrel that reached Ashdod was certainly launched prior to the death of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. Notwithstanding the fact that Hamas itself now says Israel had nothing to do with it.

Rockets from Gaza. Nobody home as usual. Goldstone is on a lecture tour in North America. Worthless.

Hamas is the de facto government of Gaza so Hamas is responsible for all of these war crimes perpetrated by other groups based in Gaza.

Where's the biased UN to condemn this provocations?

launch an unguided rocket into an open field, watch as retaliatory airstrikes take out buildings, militants, bystanders, and launchers alike. its now onder gaza is what it is...

...those of Samaria and Judea (West Bank) continue to be involved daily with attempts to mass murder Jews?! Why should we trust these people?! Yesterday there were explosives flouted towards Israel from Gaza, aiming to hit Israeli merchant ships. Today, rockets aimed at the killing of Jewish children. The day before, two Arabs from Jerusalem, members of Hamas, seeking information to be used in mass murders in the central bus stations of Beer Sheva, Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem. And what will tomorrow bring? And what if we hand to them more territory? What will they use it for...??!!

Hamas still wants to do damage and before they do it is time to hit some economic targets in Gaza.
