Don't hold your breath waiting. Israel needs to kick @ss but the truth of the matter is that they won't, not enough civilians have died yet for the support they need from the U.S. for a full scale @ss whipping.

 (Adds details of target) 
    GAZA, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Israeli attack helicopters fired 
three missiles on Monday at a foundry in Gaza City which the 
Israeli armed forces said was a Palestinian weapons factory. 
    The missiles set the workshop ablaze. Two Palestinians were 
wounded by flying debris and taken to hospital, Palestinian 
witnesses said. 
    "Israeli air force helicopters attacked a foundry used as a 
weapons factory in Gaza," the Israeli military said in a 
statement. 
    "The Israeli armed forces will continue to damage and 
destroy the terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, wherever 
hostile terrorist activity is being carried out against Israeli 
citizens." 
    The attack was launched a day after 13 people were killed in 
Palestinian attacks in northern Israel and East Jerusalem.

Israeli aircraft fired several missiles at terror targets in Gaza City on Monday, after a 24-hour terror wave that has claimed 13 Israel lives. Palestinian sources reported that four people were moderately wounded in the strike.

Confirming the strike, Israeli military sources said that one of the targets was a factory used to create missiles and ammunition. The statement said that the IDF would strike at any target that was involved in terror.

The assault began when at least three IDF helicopters flew over the north-eastern part of Gaza City for about 15 minutes. Two missiles were fired, aiming for a metal works shop located between the Sabra and Zeitouni neighborhoods.

After watching tens of thousands of Pal hordes showing their blood lust and joy over the murder of Israeli civilians, I don't know that there is such a thing as collateral damage anymore. Although those under age 13 are probably not accountable for their actions. But those barbarian savages over age 13 who want to murder are fair game.

Whew. Glad I'm not the only one.

Indeed, what's the joke, Mo? (Perhaps you'll want to clear up the non-confusion once and for all by posting the explanation in your profile.)

If I were Israel's Prime Minister, I'd make a public statement that Israel is through playing games with terrorist havens. From this day forward I would not tolerate any community allowing terrorists to use it for cover from which to opperate.

The next act of terrorism, I'd send in troops to evacuate the town the terrorists came from. I'd expell every person who lived in that city. They would be forbidden to return to the West Bank or Gaza. Then I'd send in the bulldozers.

By the third city the Palestinians would be hanging their own in an effort to stop the terrorism.

Is it a major attack?

No, just another tit for tat, and so on and so on.

Three missles? BFD. If it was 300, I'd be impressed. Otherwise, it's the equivalent of a mosquito bite.

Yes, Sharon continues to swat, when he should be fumigating.

That's what I've been saying for about a year. At this point I wouldn't bother with expelling them. Just carpet bomb, bulldoze and build new Jewish cities on the site.
