“IDF launches strikes on Hamas targets throughout Gaza”
By JPOST.COM STAFF
Yep.
I read IDF sources this week that said they would start with surgical air and then put boots/Armor in.
Hamas will put their rockets up as well.
This is the beginning. Next....Iran. 24 days to Obamanation.
In before the “nuke ‘em all” crowd? ;-)
OPINION:
Hamas seems pretty cocky lately from what I have been reading on the internet, so my guess is they are pretty well supplied and ready to go.
A look at Iran

Hamas got their warning — December 25th news articles (sources).
