Israel air strikes continue after death of Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari. Hamas: It’s war

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.

Sure, just like the “gates of hell” that they opened when Yassin was taken out. Screw them. This is the prime example of what happens when you coddle terrorists. They deserve nothing short of carpet-bombing.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

THe schmuck Jabari should have driven an American car. Oh, the faulty electrical systems would have fried his nuts before the Israelis got him.

How about a Vespa, numbnuts? Or the camel you slept with?

Dead is good, very good. NEXT!

[StopGlobalWhining]

Next Hassan Nasrallah.

The Israelis adhere, as much as possible, to civilized rules of engagement that require, if at all possible, to hit only actual terror targets, as opposed to hurting the general population in Gaza. Since the Hamas savages intentionally place their arms depots and missile launchers in the midst of civilian locations, there is sometimes unintentional collateral damage, but it is the exception and not the norm. It is never Israeli policy to intentionally hit civilian targets.

In contrast, the savage, barbarian Jew-hating swine of Hamas indiscriminately fire missiles, quite intentionally, into solely civilian areas in Israel. The Israeli-developed "Iron Dome" anti-missile system works quite well against the missiles of the savage barbarians. However, nothing is perfect, including the Iron Dome system. A few missiles get through, and even when Iron Dome is successful, the sounds and sights of missiles aimed into civilian areas are frightening, especially to little children.

To get an idea of how frightening this is for the innocent little ones, here is a YouTube clip that shows a missile attack earlier today on purely civilian areas in Ashdod, an Israeli port city near Gaza. Towards the end you can hear the children crying in fear:

To see how the brilliantly designed and executed Iron Dome system intercepted 14 (!!!) incoming missiles aimed at Ashdod earlier today see this clip (note that the English language title accompanying the YouTube clip below is not correct - in the Hebrew text the poster correctly explains how all 14 were intercepted, whereas the poster's attempt to render this in English in the title mistakenly implies that the Grad missiles actually hit Ashdod - in this case they didn't. The poster was under missile attack, so one can understand why his translation of Hebrew to English wasn't perfect):

Looks like Israel will have to confront Iran, Egypt, and Turkey, right off the start. I’m still not sure what got the Turks ticked off at them, they are pretty good soldiers. This could get out of hand real quick.

Hamas: It’s war

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. /s

[grey_whiskers]

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?

I'm thinking it might have been a halo. Have you ever heard of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch ("...who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it") ?

Cheers!

[Karliner]

So sick of hamas and al Fatah and UN. Prayers for my daughter again, her third war since 2006 and I want Hamas and all dead bad guys deader than dead, heck with them. Get the good people in power or send em packing back to or Cynthia McKinney and Helen Thomas’ front yard.

[S.O.S121.500]

Gaza should be made into a parking lot. Systematically tear down every dwelling and send the occupants to Saudi Arabia.

Numbers 24:

Balaam’s Fourth Message
15 Then he spoke his message:

“The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor,
the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,
16 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God,
who has knowledge from the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:

17 “I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near.
A star will come out of Jacob;
a scepter will rise out of Israel.
He will crush the foreheads of Moab,
the skulls of all the people of Sheth.
18 Edom will be conquered;
Seir, his enemy, will be conquered,
but Israel will grow strong.
19 A ruler will come out of Jacob
and destroy the survivors of the city.”

Balaam’s Fifth Message
20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and spoke his message:

“Amalek was first among the nations,
but their end will be utter destruction.”

Balaam’s Sixth Message
21 Then he saw the Kenites and spoke his message:

“Your dwelling place is secure,
your nest is set in a rock;
22 yet you Kenites will be destroyed
when Ashur takes you captive.”

Balaam’s Seventh Message
23 Then he spoke his message:

“Alas! Who can live when God does this?
24 Ships will come from the shores of Cyprus;
they will subdue Ashur and Eber,
but they too will come to ruin.”

GAZA AFTER DARK

[Dave346]

3 Israeli civilians killed in Kiryat Malachi by rocket.

132 rockets fired from Gaza in last 24 hours.

Dear Mr Bibi :

Please take note, only half of the USA selected Obama , so if you find any weapons were supplied to Hamas by Obama, it wasnt because of the other half

PS: if anything unfortunate should happen to Obama, only half of the USA will be upset

[Errant]

Looks like they've found most of him or probably what's left of both.

Tell them they have 1 week to completely evacuate all of the Gaza strip and go to Egypt, at which point everything will be killed and bulldozed and reclaimed by Israel.

LAND THROUGH PEACE....the right way.

Don’t waste anymore time with Gaza, solve it now! Iran is using this time and so is Hezzbolah to gear up and attack Israel.

Destroy every gas station, every powerplant, every food center, no power, no food, no gas, no water....make ‘em go to the moslum brotherhood. NOW
