Gaza Lions
Many feared leaving Gaza to the Palestinians would only cause suffering for the surrounding Israelis. Its beginning to look like the prophets of doom were more right than wrong. Hamas militants sent some 39 missiles into Israel, wounding 5. The IDF responded with a missile strike killing 4 and then set up an artillery fire base for further counter-battery fire.
Under the rubric, be careful with those explosives, a truck filled with masked terrorists and some sort of explosives, suddenly blew up at a rally on Friday killing perhaps 15 (including children) and wounding over a hundred.
The IDF also staged a pre-dawn helicopter strike at Hamas targets, mainly arms shops, in Gaza City and in the north, however the effectiveness of the targeting is unknown.
Many Israelis in the know think the violence in Gaza only helps former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu try to take back leadership of the Likud party from Prime Minister Sharon.
Either one is fine as far as I am concerned.
