IMRA ^ | 9-14-05

Posted on 09/14/2005 5:56:22 PM PDT by SJackson

PALESTINIANS FIRE MORTARS INTO ISRAEL TEL AVIV [MENL] -- For the first time, Palestinian gunners have succeeded in firing mortars into Israel.

Israeli military sources said Palestinian insurgents have managed to fire mortars from the eastern and northern Gaza Strip into Israel. So far, there have not been injuries in Israel.

"The fire represents the success of Palestinians to reach the edge of the Gaza Strip," a military source said. "It will provide the terrorists with a much greater edge."

Palestinian insurgency groups have developed several models of mortars. They include those of 60 mm, 81 mm and 120 mm mortars as well as launching tubes.

How bout the Israelis drop a bunch of wood, pipe, and bricks near where the mortars are fired. Zero the mortars in on the stuff and wait for the looters to show up. Bing!

Brilliant move Sharon ...

Yes, it is.

With the Israeli Wall in place, the Palestinians have been reduced to blindly lobbing mortar shells over the Wall and hitting.......NOTHING.

Now the IDF, at its leisure, can pick a Palestinian target, or targets, of its own choosing for destruction which they are guaranteed to hit.

ITS TIME TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND!

If attacked from Gaza - Declare War on that independent land.
Israel will have the right to invade and drive every living soul out of Gaza (or kill them if they decide to continue to fight or stay) and forever have Gaza as part of Israel.

Israel should have declared this before - but they could do it now.

So, retake Gaza as a fine for what they are doing and landmine it.

"Now the Israels can storm back into Gaza and deal with the terrorists the way they should be dealt with."

They aren't going to "storm" anywhere, I'm afraid.

Can't let them do that forever.

I've heard the IDF has developed an anti-mortar capability that hits a target within 30 seconds, with minimal collateral damage. My guess, we're about to find out.

For the border, the Guardium, a robot which not only speaks arabic (or any other language a purchaser prefers) but both returns and initiates fire.

Like kids with candy, have mortars, use mortars.

The fact that these morons couldn't figure out that if they'd kept quiet for two years, they'd have the administration on their side full bore. We'd be discussing whether 250,000 Jews should be expelled, or 220,000. Just couldn't go that long without killing Jews.
