IDF forces prepare for Gaza incursion
Ynet ^
Posted on 02/28/2008 11:59:50 PM PST by maquiladora
Dozens of tanks, artillery battery positioned just north of Gaza to reinforce infantry, engineering corps forces already inside Strip ahead of possible large-scale ground operation. PM returns from Japan, updated on Grad, Qassam rocket attacks on Ashkelon
Over the past few days the IDF has positioned an artillery battery near Kibbutz Beeri, located about three kilometers (1.8 miles) from the Gaza border, and dozens of tanks have made their way to an assembling area just north of the Strip.
Forces from the Givati Brigade, the Armored Corps’ 9th Battalion and the Engineering Corps have already entered the Strip ahead of a possible large-scale ground incursion.
The reinforcements, while limited, appear to indicate increased readiness on the part of the IDF.
Meanwhile, during his flight back from Japan Friday morning, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was updated on Thursday’s Grad and Qassam rocket attacks on Ashkelon and the western Negev. The political-security cabinet is scheduled to convene Wednesday to discuss the escalation in the south.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Egyptian intelligence chief Omer Suleiman are due in Israel Tuesday.

New York Post | Friday, February 29, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “IRANIAN President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrives in Baghdad tomorrow for what both sides call an “historic visit.”
He’ll be the Islamic Republic’s first president to visit Iraq and only the second Iranian government head to do so in 32 years.
Under normal circumstances, an Iranian leader’s visit to Iraq would arouse no apprehensions - but these are not normal times.”

“Egyptian al Qaeda leader reported killed in South Waziristan airstrike”
By BILL ROGGIOFebruary 29, 2008 2:21 AM
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Pakistani and US intelligence are attempting to sort out the names of the al Qaeda and Taliban operatives killed in yesterday’s airstrike in Azam Warzak, South Waziristan. Initial reports indicated Arabs and fighters from Central Asia were killed in the operation. One report indicates an “al Qaeda fugitive from Egypt” was among those killed, sparking rumors that Ayman al Zawahiri was the target of the strike.
South Waziristan Taliban commander Mullah Nazir, who is often characterized as a “pro-government” Taliban leader, appears to be the center of the storm. “Sources said that the militants belonged to the Abu Hamza group whose leader was said to be a follower of local militant commander Maulvi Nazir,” Dawn reported. The attack occurred at the home of Shero Wazir, a follower of Nazir “who had rented it out to an Arab.””

“Hizballah Boosted by Anti-War Westerners, Meeting Told”
By Kevin McCandless
CNSNews.com Correspondent
February 29, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “London (CNSNews.com) - Hundreds of anti-war activists attending a meeting here on Thursday night were told that their activism was appreciated by the Lebanese Shi’ite group Hizballah.
With the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq fast approaching, the British Stop the War Coalition is preparing for a massive demonstration in London on March 15.
As part of the run-up, the coalition sponsored an evening with various speakers, including Ibrahim Moussawi, the editor of Al Intiqad, a Lebanese newspaper linked to Hizballah.
In a short speech occasionally interrupted by applause and cheers, Moussawi told his audience that it was the support of the anti-war movement that kept Hizballah going during its brief war against Israel in 2006.
“They appreciate everything you did and say you are partners in victory,” he said.
Politicians from the opposition Conservative Party complained this week about Moussawi being allowed into Britain. Moussawi said it is simply part of a propaganda campaign against Hizballah.”
