After confirming the death of Ahmed Jabari, commander of Hamass military arm, Ezz e-din al-Qassam, Hamas announced: We are now at war with Israel. Jabari, 52, was killed by a targeted Israeli air attack in Gaza City. A key figure in the radical Palestinian Hamas movement, he was caught driving in a black Mercedes in Gaza City. Hamas has announced a general call-up and threatened to respond not just with rockets but suicide attacks. Israeli sources say the air operation called Pillar of Cloud is underway against more Hamas leaders and its military infrastructure and rocket stocks across the Gaza Strip until peace is restored to southern Israel. debkafiles military sources report that southern Israeli is on high alert in expectation of a furious Hamas reprisal for the loss of its leading terror strategist. Areas such as Gedera and Gan Yavneh which have escaped most missile attacks may now be targeted. Israel may also expect repercussions from Cairo since Jabari was a favorite of the ruling Muslim Brotherhood and his death occurred the day after Egypt brokered a ceasefire in the missile offensive from the Gaza Strip. That ceasefire was violated Wednesday with five Grad rockets against the Eshkol district.
Bounce the rubble.
Go Israel.
Make ham out of Hamas.
That is such a revealing few sentences.
Egypt negotiates a missile ceasefire. Hamas breaks the agreement within 24 hours.
Israel retaliates.
The Brotherhood is mad at Israel and they'll retaliate.
Is that not insanity???
Not enough to spread on toast......
Um, since when have those savages not been at war with Israel?
This going to get big, real big.
You are exactly right, when hasn’t Hamas been at war with Israel. At least Israel knows how to respond to enemies.
Israel has been around for 5000 years. They’ve endured bondage and slavery. And after being dispersed around the world for 2000 years, they reappeared as one people once again on the banks of the Jordan. They’ve endured Egyptian Pharoes, Roman Emperors, the Muslims and the Nazis. The eight years of Obama will be but a blink of an eye to them. I’ve been to Israel and have seen the wall that Ariel Sharon put up despite the demands of the world to tear it down. They’re once again taking matters of their own liberty and security into their own hands.
All too typical of the Jihadis. They are offended by anyone who fights back.
Similar to the ‘Rats here in the US.
Gaza should be made into a parking lot. Systematically tear down every dwelling and send the occupants to Saudi Arabia.
Unlike some US military leaders, Israel’s leaders have their sights set on the right targets.
Have you ever read the Hamas charter?
It calls for the elimination of Israel and the extermination of the Jews.
Go Israel. Make ham out of Hamas.Kick and Ham some a*s, Israel!!!
Tee time! Valerie'll handle things...
Heh.
Bring it, raghead.
....And they will have to do it again, stand up for themselves, with or without America.
Note to Israel: Don’t let this be your Vietnam... Fight to win. Make post-war meaningful.
Iran is next.
To you and I yes. To Europe it’s, “Aw, the poor Palestinians. What can we do to help?”
Talk about a continent with it’s head up it’s posterior as it relates to Israel...
Does Israel invade Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, or Egypt? As long as it’s neighbors leave it alone, it leaves them alone.
The Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza, just can’t stop trying to push Israel into the Med, even if only figuratively.
Who knew firing rockets into Israel at the rate of a few to a few hundred per day would result in Israel losing it’s patience at some point?
How can anyone say this is Israel’s fault
Be careful what you wish for.
“Alright, Lungher. Let’s do it.”
“Say when.”
“From his own mouth, Pharoah has called the next plague upon Egypt.”
“You’re no Daisy at all...you were just too high strung.”
Good to get it done as soon as possible. Daily prayers for Israel would also be good.
Why not state that any nuke attack on Israel will cause an immediate conversion of MECCA into a trinitite-paved, glassy, dead zone.
The “prophet’s tomb” is a good ground zero...
Maybe during max Hajj?
“he was caught driving”
Filthy koranimal, cars are for Infidels.
Yeah, the muslim whackos in control of Egypt now will probably launch an assault on her along with Iran maybe. Isreal may have to resort to nukes to defend herself. It is all foretold.

He was driving a Chevy Volt and it shorted out.
BTTT!!
Since Hamas has been firing rockets from Gaza, they have brought this upon themselves.
The Jerusalem Post article:
Israeli air strike kills Hamas military chief Jabari
The subtitle is:
IAF hits 20 underground sites housing long-range launchers capable of striking Tel Aviv; Hamas says Israel "opened the gates of hell" with Gaza hit; strikes mark start of targeted anti-terror campaign.
Hamas brought this upon themselves...
Before we all start running around flailing our arms, I think we need to observe this story comes from Debka. They are *never* right.
If we had Real American leadership, we'd be sending boatloads of munitions to Israel right now. They're going to need a bunch real soon.
The Israelis have good reason to be getting more aggressive. Recent pics from middle east news guys of the rocket motors fired at Israel show a much more sophisticated unit than the home jobs we’re used to seeing. Means the Hamasses are getting more outside help. It’s fine with me if Ben figures it’s time to light ‘ém up and clean ‘ém out.

"Pillar of Cloud" sounds kinda Biblical to me. Hamas might wish to consult with their moon god ASAP. And while they're at it, read the fine print on their land deeds that talks about, "All lands from the Euphrates to the Nile"...
I enjoyed seeing the Car-B-Que on video.

Too late, I knocked over the birdhouse and threw my shoulder out of joint.
Godspeed and good hunting boys
May have also got Hamas co-founder Mahmoud al-Zahar. From the Guardian: “Hamas: killing of military chief by Israel has ‘opened gates of hell’ - live”

Many Twitter users inside Gaza echo an entry that just appeared on Haaretz’s live blog reporting an “explosion in house of Hamas cofounder Mahmoud al-Zahar, in Gaza.”
Zahar, who is in his late 60s, met last month with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It is unclear whether he was wounded in the apparent attack.

Wow, Zahar. No confirmation that he’s been hit. But if he has been, well, he’s the strategic brains of Hamas in Gaza.

The IDF said on Wednesday that it is prepared for a ground operation in Gaza, if necessary.It's on."All options are on the table," the IDF spokesman said. "If necessary, the IDF is ready to initiate a ground operation in Gaza."
US Statement:
Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Warren released a statement in support of Israel:
“We’re monitoring the situation closely,” Warren said. “We stand by our Israeli partners in their right to defend themselves against terrorism.”

Four rockets fired at Israeli town on Egyptian border; several explode inside town, one near school. No injuries or damage reported. IDF suspects rockets fired from Sinai PeninsulaSinai Peninsula = from Egyptian soil.
We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead.
They have drawn the sword. May God protect the IDF.
