Palestinian terrorists fired at least 80 rockets from Gaza into southern Israel since Friday night, leaving eight Israelis injured in the heaviest series of attacks in months. The barrages came in response to an IAF strike which killed the secretary general of the Popular Resistance Committees, Zuhair Qaisi.

The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted at least five rockets fired from the Gaza Strip at Beersheba and Ashdod early Saturday morning. In total, at least ten rockets have been intercepted by the system since the beginning of the escalation on Friday.

The IAF struck targets in Gaza overnight Friday and Saturday morning in response to the rocket attacks. Twelve Palestinians - 10 of them members of Islamic Jihad - were killed in the strikes and another 20 were injured, according to Palestinian news agency Ma'an.

Zuhair Qaisi was responsible for the kidnapping of the Israeli soldier Shalit.

Justice has been served.

The IDF stated that the attack was part of an operation to thwart the intentions of terrorists to carry out terror attacks in Sinai, along the border between Israel and Egypt. Qaisi had been planning and leading over the past few days a major terror attack against Israeli targets.

Haven't been keeping up daily (mainly quarterly) since they built the wall and Arafat died, but I believe this is just a taste of the forthcoming attacks from all sides on Israel. Now that the SO wonderful Arab Spring occurred, and bambi and hilly are such appeasers, war is coming.

The Muslims are going to try to eliminate Israel in the coming months/years. They feel empowered with the USA being led by a bowing apologetic wimp in the White House. This will be the interloper's legacy. War in the ME, and all the world havoc it causes. History will write that bambi was a direct influence because of his weak leadership and prostrating himself to the Muslims. We could possibly see a regional war, god forbid a nuclear confrontation.

The only thing that will stop them is if Israel kills Iran. I sincerely don't want to see innocent pro-western Persians die, but if that is what it takes to secure Israel, I'm for it. And no, I'm not Jewish. I just know good people who want to be left alone when I see them.

However, if Israel destroys Iran's machine, many other countries and NGO's will think twice. Guess it takes the Muslims hoards in the ME to be reminded once in awhile not to attempt genocide. Hopefully, some day, the rest of western civilization will see these barbarians for what they are and take appropriate measures against them.

I stand by Israel. Got problem?

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — President Barack Obama has told the Palestinians to sit tight during a U.S. election year, while holding out the promise of a serious push for Palestinian statehood if he wins a second term, the Palestinian foreign minister said Friday.

The only way for America and Israel good, is to butt Obama out of the White House.

BTW, the worse decision Israel ever made was to give the so-called palistinians the Gaza Strip. What a waste. They immediately destroyed the Israeli infra-structure and have done nothing to build a better life for themselves.

Sorry you anti-semites and UN and politicians, but they don't live in so-called "refuge camps". They live in towns with real buildings, but refuse to improve them. Their entire existence revolves around hating Jews and being perpetual victims - they teach that to their young as seen in the documentary "Children of Gaza". I despise those scum. I have more respect for the primitive Amazon tribes.

As I have always said, they are a "gutter" people. They are an awful culture and don't give a crap about their own children, much less their women. They can all go to hell or allah or madmo or whoever. They disgust me.

It is going to take much more than simply removing Obama from office. America must return to her Judeo-Christian founding ideals and stop her evil she has been spreading throughout the whole world, or God is going to punish her immensely.

To accomplish this great feat, America returning to God, will take sincere repentance of many Americans. The great majority of Americans who are mired down in their secularist schools of thought and many others are pagans, satanic cultists and new agers, etc.

A good sign that America will succeed in this heroic feat, will be her willingness to promote a 100% ProLife electorate and national prayer for His mercy and grace.

As it stands now, we have only one 100% ProLife politician running for Obama’s office. And even many so-called religious cannot see the error of their support for the atheistic. They believe the myth of the separation of church and state and so conduct their daily lives. He will not stand idly by and let the atheistic continue the culture of death. We have reached the end of His rope and He will now purify the world of the evils.

Yes, it will take much more than simply removing Obama from office, to save this nation and the world from His heavy hand. Yet, Americans are, by and large, oblivious to the impending doom of this nation and large portions of the world.

All that is in the Book of John will come to pass and that time is upon us now. Pray for all our souls.

Watch now, for soon a man of false peace will present himself to the world and a false peace will be temporarily created in the Middle East...a guise.

The IDF blows up the leader of terror group that abducted the Israeli soldier Shalit

The liquidation of Zuhair al-Qaissi, who was blown up in his car in Gaza City along with two other terrorists, from a missile fired by an IAF drone.

Al-Qaissa headed the Hamas-linked “Popular Resistance Committees” responsible for the kidnapping of soldier Gilad Shalit, and also oversaw last August’s terror attack near Eilat.

Fully agree. I was against it at the time. It only shows what happens when Israel gives up land for an impossible “peace”.

This story will be buried. Only the retaliation will be monitored and condemned by every country on earth. It’s a never ending downward spiral to Megiddo. My prayers for all that are affected by this evil.

Does Ariel Sharon still lay in a coma? His punishment some say of his betrayal to the Israeli people. So sad the whole mess.

... 8 Israelis hurt... 14 killed, 20 injured in Gaza.

Kinda looks like the Palestinians will run out of people before the Israelis. In addition to all the other shortcomings, it seems the Palis can't count.

Obviously, the palisti-losers are peace-loving people. They are just trying to dispose of dangerous explosives and avoid accidents in their community. Someone should bulldoze them out of gaza and into the mediterranean.

Didn’t realize that, but I have always suggested that we dispose of our nuclear arsenal in a similar manner.
