IDF's main goal is to stop the flow of "oxygen" to these terrorists in the form of weapons, explosives and other devices courtesy of Egypt.

That's good, but I'd also like to see them *literally* stop the flow of oxygen to the terrorists!

Let's Roll is:

Rafiah Operation Underway
05:30 May 18, '04 / 27 Iyar 5764


(IsraelNN.com) Reports from the Rafiah area of southern Gaza indicate the IDF counter-terrorism operation is underway. Helicopter gunships reportedly fired air-to-surface missiles earlier and large bulldozers are leveling buildings and digging trenches. There are no reports of injuries to IDF troops. PA sources are reporting at least seven dead and over two dozen injured.

Troops will be moving house-to-house in search of wanted suspects and many arrests are expected. Soldiers will also be seeking to locate and confiscate weapons and ammunition.
