MK Steinitz: It’s Time for Defensive Shield 2
21:11 Jul 04, '06 / 8 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) In light of the Kassam rocket attack against Ashkelon, MK Yuval Steinitz (Likud) has called for a comprehensive attack against the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza similar in scope to Operation Defensive Shield which was successful in limiting the suicide bombing attacks emanating from the Arab city of Jenin in 2002.

“If the government again refrains from acting decisively in the defense of Israel’s residents in should ‘put down the keys’ and go to new elections,” said Steinitz.

Saudi Arabia transfer $100 million in aid to Palestinians (AP)

Saudi Arabia. The enablers of terror around the world and the home and fountain of the moon gawd cult. I submit, if bin Laden is alive and anywhere, he's in the basement of Mecca built by his daddy, inside this country.

Sorry, all

I tried to merge Gail's "Serious Escallation by Hamas" and merged it into the old thread instead of this one.

Peretz: The IDF will Increase the Pace
22:38 Jul 04, '06 / 8 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Defense Minister Amir Peretz said Tuesday that he has instructed the IDF to increase the pace and force of military operations in the Gaza Strip.

The continuing military operation in Gaza, code-named “Summer Rains”, has two objectives. The first is the return of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and the second is the removal of the Kassam rocket threat.

“We intend on achieving the goals that we have set for ourselves for the current operation,” said Peretz.

PM Olmert vows far-reaching ramifications for Hamas
By YAAKOV KATZ, HERB KEINON AND JPOST.COM STAFF



Despite an IDF incursion into northern Gaza, a Kassam rocket landed Tuesday night for the first time in the heart of Ashkelon, sending the city's 120,000 residents into a state of fear that their city would be bombarded by rockets like Sderot has since the disengagement last summer.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert termed the Kassam attack a "grave escalation" for which Hamas is responsible and for which there will be far-reaching ramifications.
Olmert's comments came at the annual July 4th celebration held at the residency of the US ambassador to Israel in Herzliya Pituach.

"Tonight a grave escalation took place when a Kassam landed in a school in our southern town. This is a peerless and grave escalation in the terrorist war for which Hamas, which is in control of the Palestinian government, is responsible," Olmert said.

He said there will be significant ramifications for this "criminal attempt" to strike at Israeli citizens. He said Hamas would be the first to be hit.

Re: Serious Escalation By Hamas

And just maybe Bush and Sharon knew this would happen after the Jews left Gaza and merely "baited the hook" so that the Jews could kill off their enemies !!!

remember the elite work by the Hegelian method.....
create a crisis to form a solution

Good idea Andy, I have a feeling this one is going to continue for a while.

Re: Serious Escalation By Hamas

It had to be a "lucky" shot as those things are terribly unquided. Best guess, like, but not as accurate, as mortar fire.

I think they will find the IDF's weapons a bit more accurate and effective.

Re: Serious Escalation By Hamas

The rocket did land near a school, and that was not doubt intentional. Remember the threat Hamas made the other day.....they said they were going to target schools.

Looks like they have attempted to carryout there threats, they are going
to force Israel to go in and probably reoccupy some or all of the
Gaza strip, this is going to cause an international uproar, but when
they start targeting your schools, what choice do you have.
