    The IAF struck and killed Hamas armed wing Izzadin Kassam Brigades commander Ahmed Jabari in central Gaza on Wednesday. The strike marked the beginning of Operation Pillar of Defense to target Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations in Gaza, IDF spokesman Yoav Mordechai announced.

    Following the assassination, the IAF struck over 20 underground rocket launchers belonging to Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The airstrikes targeted long-range rockets in the possession of terror organizations, such as the Fajr-5 and other rockets that are capable of striking Tel Aviv from Gaza. Palestinian sources said that six Gazans were killed in the IDF strikes.

    The Israelis have moved their ground troops South and have called up all Reservists. A new war could be beginning.

    "The occupation has opened the gates of hell on itself," Hamas' armed wing said following the targeted killing of its commander.

    Top Hamas terrorist Ismail al-Ashkar said, "The resistance's options are now open and they include suicide attacks and quality attacks in Israel cities."

    If only the Palestinians spent their time and money building infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and other peaceable things instead of making war... It's hard to make the case that the guys launching missiles into the neighboring country and declaring war on Israel are unarmed and not belligerent.

    Hamas had ramped up their rocket attacks in the weeks leading up to this. LINK

    You say this with any understanding of Israel's crimes against humanity? Israel, the powerful nation-state, rather than the relatively impoverished political organization, Hamas, you expect to retaliate, but not the latter in their repression?

    And again...

    "Gaza is an example of a society that has been deliberately reduced to a state of abject destitution, its once productive population transformed into one of aid-dependent paupers....Gaza's subjection began long before Israel's recent war against it[December 2008]. The Israeli occupation - now largely forgotten or denied by the international community - has devastated Gaza's economy and people, especially since 2006....After Israel's December[2008] assault, Gaza's already compromised conditions have become virtually unlivable. Livelihoods, homes, and public infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed on a scale that even the Israel Defense Forces admitted was indefensible. In Gaza today, there is no private sector to speak of and no industry. 80 percent of Gaza's agricultural crops were destroyed and Israel continues to snipe at farmers attempting to plant and tend fields near the well-fenced and patrolled border. Most productive activity has been extinguished....Today, 96 percent of Gaza's population of 1.4 million is dependent on humanitarian aid for basic needs. According to the World Food Programme, The Gaza Strip requires a minimum of 400 trucks of food every day just to meet basic nutritional needs of the population. Yet, despite a 22 March[2009] decision by the Israeli cabinet to lift all restrictions on foodstuffs entering Gaza, only 653 food trucks of food and other supplies were allowed entry during the week of May 10, at best meeting 23 percent of the required need. Israel now allows only 30 to 40 commercial items to enter Gaza as compared to 4,000 approved products prior to June 2006."

    Now, now, gentle posters, Israel can and has never done anything wrong. I mean who do the Palestinians think they are, living for thousands of years on a piece of landed promised to the Jews by God?
