Beefed-up Israeli military and security forces prepared to repulse thousands of Palestinians planning to crash the full length of the Gazan-Israeli border and its crossings at 10:00 a.m. IT Monday, Feb. 25.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report Hamas is engineering a “popular” protest to be much more violent than the Jan. 23 Palestinian surge into Egypt through the border wall smashed by its bulldozers.
Behind the human shield of women, children and elderly leading the assault on Monday, Hamas, Jihad Islami and Fatah are expected to shoot, send in suicide bombers and unleash a Qassam barrage. If Israeli forces are goaded into opening fire, civilian casualties may be heavy enough to draw international condemnation. If they hold back, the Palestinian terrorists will capture the border fence and knock it over.
By preventing a full-scale military operation against the Palestinian missile and terror campaign from Gaza and imposing a siege instead, prime minister Ehud Olmert and defense minister Ehud Barak have left the initiative with Hamas which exploits it to the hilt.
DEBKAfile reports “human chain which will “demonstrate” along the border from the Rafah terminal in the south to Erez in the north is organized by the Committee for Breaking the Israeli Siege headed by Hamas, although the terrorist group’s spokesmen claimed it is a “spontaneous” protest against the Israeli blockade.
Israel’s military and security chiefs are conferring urgently Sunday night with chief of staff Lt. Gen. Gaby Ashkenazi.
The Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem told reporters that non-lethal measures for dispersing crowds are ready to ward off the massive assault on the border fence in an effort to avoid civilian casualties.
After weeks, Egypt finally cracked down on the Palestinian invasion of Sinai when its foreign minister threatened to “break the arms and legs” of infiltrators. Even then, they were defied by the Palestinian invaders.
It looks now as though the long-delayed big confrontation between the IDF and Hamas will not take place inside the Gaza Strip but on Israeli soil.
And if not, Hamas will make sure that they are!
It'd be great if they had some of that super-slick foam they could spray on them. Make em look like a bunch of idiots, well, more than they are.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
or laughing gas — it might improve their attitude.......
like bacon grease? works on so many levels
Shot from the front or shot in the back...still shot.
These animals need to be schooled in civilization’s defensive technologies. The Israelis need to have hundreds of news cameras filming the action, from start to finish. And, then let the critics have at it. Let them spout and spew. Israell needs to secure Israel, first, and then deal with the DhimmiLib condemnation that will come their way, regardless of the process or the outcome.
It’s time to drop all the PC multi-culti crap and get down to the serious business of saving freedom and liberty for the coming generations, around the world.
As for the crossings, barricades and a lot of barbed wire and riot control chemicals can deal with that.
Goes without saying that documenting the mindless animals-on-two-legs occupying Israel should be high on the agenda; specially the customary killing of kids and claiming that Israeli soldiers did it.
I know ... silly question.
Lock and load one 30 round magazine. Move your selector lever from SAFE to BURST, and COMMENCE FIRING!
It seems that Hamas will stop at nothing to force Israel to take over the Gaza again.
Shades of what is going to happen on our southern border someday?
HAMAS learned that it’s painful to take on the Egyptians. Better to build up one’s resume by going after the Joooooos.
3 words: Shoot To Kill.
Hate to say it but Bush’s recognition of the illegal Kosovo entity has lit a spark that will ignite in Gaza, Ramallah, and across the world.
This would be a good place to use that new sound system. No one will know what is happening.
Vehicle-Mounted Active Denial System (V-MADS) Active Denial Technology is a breakthrough non-lethal technology that uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy to stop, deter and turn back an advancing adversary from relatively long range. It is expected to save countless lives by providing a way to stop individuals without causing injury, before a deadly confrontation develops.
Tear gas the front ranks, and have Apaches (or their Israeli version) napalming the rear ranks where the true targets are.
