GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israeli warplanes
retaliating for rocket fire from the Gaza Strip pounded dozens of security compounds across the Hamas-ruled territory in unprecedented waves of airstrikes Saturday, killing nearly 200 people and wounding 270 others in the single bloodiest day of fighting in years.
Most of those killed were security men,..
Hamas said all of its security installations were hit and responded with several medium-range Grad rockets at Israel, reaching deeper than in the past.
One Israeli was killed and at least four people were wounded in the rocket attacks.
The air offensive followed weeks of intense Palestinian rocket and
mortar fire on southern Israel, and Israeli leaders had issued increasingly tough warnings in recent days that they would not tolerate continued attacks."http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081227/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_israel_palestinians_74
Israel demolishes Hamas compounds, over 200 dead
By IBRAHIM BARZAK, Associated Press Writer
Early results of the most recent Israeli response to the renewed (never-ending) Arab-Muslim assault on the Jewish homeland are good and encouraging. Massive, concerted, "disproportionate" retaliation is, of course, the only sensible way forward for Israel. One may hope the surrounding Arab states will eventually take the message – Israel is legitimate and permanent –, the understanding a less intellectually and ideologically challenged group would have got decades ago. Islamist density and capacity for self-delusion and obfuscation, however, is observably immense. We shall see.
Note particularly: "Hamas said all of its security installations were hit and responded with several medium-range Grad rockets at Israel, reaching deeper than in the past." As virtually all observers understood, the goons of Gaza busily utilized the "cease fire" they never fully observed to upgrade their stockpile of Jew-killing weaponry. "Land for peace?" Harrumph!
How 'bout: "Quit the jihad fools, or die like dogs." Sounds a better plan to me.
