GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli tanks rolled into the Palestinian refugee camp of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip early on Wednesday and bulldozers began demolishing houses overlooking a Jewish settlement, witnesses said.
Some 60 families living in the row of dilapidated structures fled as Israeli forces laid down covering fire. There were no immediate reports of return fire from Palestinian gunmen, or casualties.
Security forces have been on high alert in Israel's cities for the painful payback Hamas has promised in retaliations for the Israeli assassination of its founder and spiritual leader Ahmed Yassin.
About 10 Israeli tanks moved to the edge of Khan Younis in the early hours of Wednesday, taking up what witnesses initially described as holding positions.

If I ain't mistaken, Arutz 7 is saying 25 tanks.

I guess this is the perfect opportunity for HAMAS to come out and fight like men. Fat chance.
They would rather attack women and children.

I hope one of the tanks roll back out of there with Arafat's liver attached to the gun turret.

I am a protest warrior who got an email about arab protests going on tomorrow. We are joining in a counter-rally. Here is a link to my thread sounds like you can reach a lot of people. Anyone near the bay area should show up to support Israel. Here is a link to my thread:

Sorry, I'm in Wisconsin, we have boring cheese (Yes, we have moose too), Kohl and Feingold.
To: bgcountry187
I think they would. I haven't listened to Savage much, but I did catch today's show. If I new earlier, I would have tried to call in or something. I just got the email from the San Francisco Protest Warriors Chapter leader.

One of our fellow FReepers -- I think it's Alouette, but I'm not 1,000% certain of that -- has an absolutely marvelous PhotoShopped pic of Bob the Builder, waving cheerfully from the cab of the 'dozer that flapjacked Rachel Corrie. (Somebody needs to post it here again; it made me spew soda from both nostrils, the first time I saw it...!) :)
