Israeli Air Force takes out 40 mosques-cum-rocket stores, brings new drone into Gaza operation

The Israeli Air Force bombed 40 mosques in Gaza Tuesday night, July 30, in the most extensive operation against Hamas’ religious institutions-cum-military bases so far. In total, at least 50 mosques have been blown up along with their stockpiles of rockets and arms caches.

These concentrated air strikes on rocket arsenals are as integral to Operation Protective Edge as the ground work in destroying tunnels. They have been stepped up in advance of the preparations launched by the government on Wednesday for the possible termination of the IDF ground operation in the Gaza Strip and the withdrawal of troops. debkafile's sources say that the order to end the ground operation in Gaza would not mean that the war is over. There are no illusions about the Palestinian extremist groups laying down their arms. In practical terms, therefore, Israeli troops will regroup and spread out along the border as a barrier against future Hamas attempts to keep up its terror offensive by means of cross-border commando raids using undiscovered tunnels and firing rockets and mortars into Israel.

The speculation in this article is that Israel is preparing the battlefield to withdraw, encircle Gaza and lay siege in a longer war of attrition.

This is good news. I thought these muzzie terrorists were only using hospitals and schools as weapons storage facilities and military operations.

Then they weren’t mosques. Once ham-ass stockpiles weapons in it, it is a target.

Good journalism would put quotes around the word “Mosque”. Mosques, at least the ones in Gaza are command and control centers and weapons depots.

The liberals will decry this attack on houses of worship, without addressing the fact that Hamas started this war. Or addressing the fact that these mosques are military targets because the enemy is using them as military sites.

Wrong. There are exactly the same number of mosques and toilets. The terms are interchangeable.
