“Israel Strikes Back - In Response To Rocket Fire, IAF Hits Hamas Targets In Gaza, At Least 200 Dead

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The IDF launched a massive operation in Gaza on Saturday striking Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip killing at least 200 and wounding scores. By nightfall Saturday over 80 Kassam rockets, Grad missiles and mortar shells had been fired at Israeli communities.

On Saturday night, the IDF maintained a heavily beefed up presence outside the Gaza Strip, as troops prepared for a possible ground operation in Gaza to compliment the air offensive.

Earlier Saturday, an Israeli was killed and three others suffered light to moderate wounds when a rocket hit an apartment building in the Negev town of Netivot. .The dead Israeli was later identified as 58 year old Beber Vakhnin. After the fatal attack two other rockets fired from Gaza hit Ashkelon. Shortly after, the IDF began its massive air offensive. Saturday evening a rocket made a direct hit on a synagogue in the Eshkol region wounding one of the worshippers.

The military operation dubbed Operation Cast Lead was launched just days after the cabinet gave the army its approval to operate in Gaza in response to the scores of Kassam rockets fired at Israeli communities in southern Israel earlier in the week.

While Washington called on Jerusalem to show restraint it refrained from demanding a halt to military activities in Gaza. Britain and France however called on an immediate cessation to the hostilities. Members of the Arab League countries intend to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the situation.

At a press conference on Saturday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak declared the current campaign would expand and is expected to last for some time. The IDF and IAF he said destroyed the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza hitting over 150 Hamas operatives.”

“Hamas terrorists blame moderate Islam and “silent arabs” for Israel’s retaliation”

VIDEO DESCRIPTION - QUOTE:

Hamas calls the killing of the terrorists “a massacre”... all the while Hamas broke the cease-fire, provoked an Israeli counter-strike by sending rockets and missiles over to Israel indiscriminately... that is the islamofascist/leftist agenda, to harass the bourgeois West until it abdicates and “submits” to the “poor” Third World supremacists.

This is a war, the left are traitors and the third world radicals are out to kill and enslave us all.
