Palestinian Gunmen Broke Through Israel's Heavily Fortified Gaza Border
RTTNews (excerpt) ^ | June 9, 2007

Posted on 06/09/2007 12:55:28 PM PDT by HAL9000

6/9/2007 3:40:21 PM On Saturday, Palestinian gunmen broke through Israel's heavily fortified Gaza border and battled troops inside Israel for about two hours in a failed attempt to abduct an Israeli soldier. One of the raiders was killed. It was the first cross-border incursion since militants killed two soldiers and abducted a third a year ago.

The Israel military said troops shot dead one of the raiders. Palestinians said another three militants escaped back to Gaza unharmed.

The Islamic Jihad group said it carried out Saturday's attack, near the Kissufim crossing between Gaza and Israel, along with the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, a violent offshoot of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement.

Away with Olmert and extend the wall. Every pali rocket and every bomb should be retaliated bt retaking 10 square-metres of land.

Four guys broke through a heavily fortified border. Thbey shot no one and only one of them got shot.

Something doesn’t sound right.

Olmert and Nancy Pelosi would make a perfect team of “losers.”

It sounds right to me. The pallies must of carefully planned this. Although the article states "heavily fortified border", it was probably a relatively weaker point based on pallie surveillance over time. With their goal of taking a live Israel, they probably were acting quickly and precisely... initially going as planned (breaching the border). But as the clock ticked, the Israeli side got in gear, and thus the palie plan turned to mush, then fog, then defeat...

... this time.

I agree. It just sounds more like “sneaking through a weak spot” than breaking through a strong spot.

I'm afraid you could throw Condi Rice in, and she'd be indistinguishable from the other two. What a disappointment she has been.
