More than 35 missiles have been fired against all the Israeli towns and villages within range of Gaza since early Wednesday, Nov. 5. Two upgraded Qassam missiles hit Ashkelon’s main street and industrial zone. Three shock victims were hospitalized. Israel’s emergency services in Ashkelon, Sderot, Netivot and the villages around Gaza are on the ready for further attacks but not all the schools within range of Gaza have shelters or fortified classrooms.
The Palestinian barrage, which coincided with Barack Obama’s victory rally in Chicago, followed a battle that erupted Tuesday night when an Israeli armored force crossed 250 meters deep into the Gaza Strip to demolish a Hamas tunnel dug from Al Bureij the Israel military position at the Kissufim border. It was ready for immediate activation as a terror-cum-kidnap device. Six IDF soldiers were injured, 1 seriously, 1 moderately, 4 lightly in the first Israeli incursion of Gaza since the June truce, when Hamas gunmen opened fire from a building housing the tunnel opening. One Hamas gunman was killed in the clash and four injured. Israel troops have withdrawn from Gaza.
The Palestinians then shot 7 mortar rounds into Israel, whereupon an Israeli Air Force helicopter went into action and killed five Palestinian mortar-men.
Israel has termed the operation an isolated incident not intended to terminate the six-month Gaza ceasefire which expires December 18. Hamas denied the tunnel’s existence, called the attack a clear truce violation and threatened reprisals.
LOL! I love it!
No, indeed, it did not take long. It emboldens the enemies of Israel and, at the same time, may make Israel less willing to play along with any restraints imposed on them in defending their existence. I don’t look for any of it to be pretty.
Post election celebration and a harbinger of what the future will bring when the Oba-Imam moves into the White House.
Obama supporting Jews should pay special attention.
Change you can believe in.
There will be a special place in Perdition for those kapos..
It is also on the eve of reconciliation talks with Fatah to be held in Egypt beginning Friday.
It seems Hamas has now rearmed, reloaded and is ready for the next stage in it's offensive: the conquest of the West Bank.

One more time: Peace is what you get for a certain period of time after you kill your enemies, while their survivors are still petrified of you.
Wonder what thinking is going on in the bowels of the IDF regarding a takeout strike against Iran’s nuclear program? If they’re going to do it, now’s the time.

Obama....”I call for *Both Sides* to restrain themselves....”
Yes, I know. Once we abandon our effort to contain our enemies in their own countries and once we abandon Israel, the consequences to us here at home are nearly unthinkable.
They were probably just celebrating the election.
