Israeli ground troops entered northern Gaza tonight to take out a number of missile launch sites, according to the Israeli military.

The move comes after weeks of growing tensions and nearly a week of escalating missile strikes from both sides.

The mission was launched early Sunday local time comes after the UN Security Council urged the two sides to reach a cease fire, and the Israeli government said it hit northern Gaza "with great force" to prevent more Hamas rocket attacks.

The IDF, the Israeli military, said its goal in crossing into northern Gaza was to dismantle some of the sites that Hamas militants have been using to launch rockets into northern Israel

Sometimes, annihilation is the only outcome. Pity.

Take out the rocket sites?...The only way you can truly win is to name the enemy and then take him out.

Israel simply needs to enlarge their target area..."The People" elected Hamass.

The Palies will just make more rockets and launch them again.

The only thing the murdering-moslem outcasts are good at making is babies.

BTW, I'm enjoying the videos of buildings exploding, Yesssss!

Natchurly Egypt doesn’t want them. But that’s where many of them came from in the first place. Gaza used to be run by Egypt and served as a dumping ground for arab types. And they, along with the Soddies, used to pay them to stay there. But a couple decades ago the money started drying up. Gaza could be a world class tourist trap but they blew that opportunity when they started shooting rockets at Israel from the new international airport——built by the Israelis. The Israelis turned some of it back into gravel to return the favor and it’s been an un-flushable toilet ever since. I say evict the whole bunch and make it un-inhabitable for a generation-—so no one can say they were born there.

Israel is not alone. On its side are all decent people and their prayers, plus one Lord of Hosts.

Until is willing to push the Pali’s across the Egyptian border, like Jordan did when they pushed them across the Israeli border, this cycle of violence will just repeat.

It is clear that the experiment of “Palistinean” self-rule has failed miserably.

As I like to say, nobody visits Carthage on vacation.

The Old Testament has many instances of God directing Israel to obliterate her enemies, burning cities to the ground and killing everyone not enslaved.
Horrific, yet grudgingly understandable given what we’ve seen in the ME for decades.
