Israel air strikes continue after death of Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari. Hamas: It’s war
Debka ^ | 11/14/12

Posted on 11/14/2012 8:23:28 AM PST by Dave346

After confirming the death of Ahmed Jabari, commander of Hamas’s military arm, Ezz e-din al-Qassam, Hamas announced: We are now at war with Israel. Jabari, 52, was killed by a targeted Israeli air attack in Gaza City. A key figure in the radical Palestinian Hamas movement, he was caught driving in a black Mercedes in Gaza City. Hamas has announced a general call-up and threatened to respond not just with rockets but suicide attacks. Israeli sources say the air operation called Pillar of Cloud is underway against more Hamas leaders and its military infrastructure and rocket stocks across the Gaza Strip until peace is restored to southern Israel. debkafile’s military sources report that southern Israeli is on high alert in expectation of a furious Hamas reprisal for the loss of its leading terror strategist. Areas such as Gedera and Gan Yavneh which have escaped most missile attacks may now be targeted. Israel may also expect repercussions from Cairo since Jabari was a favorite of the ruling Muslim Brotherhood and his death occurred the day after Egypt brokered a ceasefire in the missile offensive from the Gaza Strip. That “ceasefire” was violated Wednesday with five Grad rockets against the Eshkol district.

Too late, I knocked over the birdhouse and threw my shoulder out of joint.

May have also got Hamas co-founder Mahmoud al-Zahar. From the Guardian: “Hamas: killing of military chief by Israel has ‘opened gates of hell’ - live”

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/middle-east-live/2012/nov/14/middle-east-syria-hillary-clinton-30m

___

Many Twitter users inside Gaza echo an entry that just appeared on Haaretz’s live blog reporting an “explosion in house of Hamas cofounder Mahmoud al-Zahar, in Gaza.”

Zahar, who is in his late 60s, met last month with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It is unclear whether he was wounded in the apparent attack.

Wow, Zahar. No confirmation that he’s been hit. But if he has been, well, he’s the strategic brains of Hamas in Gaza.

Jerusalem Post:
The IDF said on Wednesday that it is prepared for a ground operation in Gaza, if necessary.

"All options are on the table," the IDF spokesman said. "If necessary, the IDF is ready to initiate a ground operation in Gaza."

It's on.

YNet News (via Drudge):
Four rockets fired at Israeli town on Egyptian border; several explode inside town, one near school. No injuries or damage reported. IDF suspects rockets fired from Sinai Peninsula
Sinai Peninsula = from Egyptian soil.

The Israeli Defense Forces just released a statement:

We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead.

They have drawn the sword. May God protect the IDF.

“rocket motors fired at Israel show a much more sophisticated unit than the home jobs “

Just saw a headline, can’t find it now, that S. Korea just seized a ship loaded with rocket stuff.

Yep, Valerie Jarrett (Obama's right hand man and #1 advisor) is a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood (and Islam) and the MB is a favorite with Obama as it is he who helped put them in power in the Mideast.

Upon the urging of his puppet master Jarrett.

The two of them (dumb and dumber) must be seething that thier "democratic" Muslim Brothehood is being vilified.

re post 44. It was “retracted” that Mahmoud al-Zahar’s house was blown up.

I think we may be missing the forest for the trees. If I was Netanyahu and concerned about Iran in the wake of the unfortunate re-election of the sock-puppet, first thing I’d do is take out all Hamas and Hezbollah missile stations before striking Iran. We’ll see.....

Psalm 122:6-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.
7 “May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.”
8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.

If you watch that video closely, you’ll see a brief flicker of light on the roof.. A ‘blip’ of light, possibly a lasing of the target?? Was that a drone hit, or.. Bomb? Do you know?
