“TEXT - Israel Defence Force on Gaza strikes”
Sat 27 Dec 2008, 10:50 GMT
[-] Text [+]

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “JERUSALEM, Dec 27 (Reuters) - Following is the text of a statement by the Israeli Defence Force:

Israeli Air Force aircraft a short while ago attacked a series of Hamas targets and infrastructure facilities in the Gaza Strip. All Israeli pilots returned safely to their bases.

The IDF will continue its operations against terror in accordance with constant status assessments by the IDF Chief of General Staff. This operation will be continued, expanded and intensified as much as required.

The Air Force activity came as a result of the continuation of terrorist activity by the Hamas terror organisation from the Gaza Strip, and the continuation of rocket launching and targeting Israeli civilians.

The targets that were attacked were located by intelligence gathered during the past months and include Hamas terror operatives that operated from the organisation’s headquarters, training camps and weaponry storage warehouses.”

i guess at this “early” point of the conflict it´s impossible to say who is telling the “truth” (as if someone would ever tell the whole truth). for me i don´t thrust the information “both” sides release.

Hamas was attacking Israel, Israel did something about it, now Hamas is going to attack Israel again.

The global jihad is 24/7 and its mentality is a like a vicious pit bull with rabies.

Well, I’ll take a stand on this...

Breaking news changes quickly, but eventually the dust dies down and the facts emerge.

My rule of thumb: Who would I want for a neighbor?
Israel: Yes.
Hamas: No.

Pure common sense.
