Israeli air force attacks Gaza

Image...
"Israel's air force fired about 30 missiles at targets in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, destroying several Hamas police compounds and killing at least 40 people, a Hamas police spokesman and witnesses said.

Television footage showed dead bodies scattered on a road and wounded and dead being carried away by distraught rescuers. There was widespread damage to buildings.

"I'm afraid we have at least 40 dead," Hamas police spokesman Islam Shahwan told Hamas radio.

He said a police compound in Gaza City had been hosting a graduation ceremony for new personnel when it was attacked.

At least two people were killed and 30 wounded from an attack in Khan Younis, a refugee camp in the south of Gaza.

A Reuters correspondent said Gaza City port and security installations of the Islamist Hamas group were badly damaged. Thick black smoke billowed over the city.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the attack, which followed a decision by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's security cabinet to widen reprisals for cross-border Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel.

A six-month truce expired last week in Gaza.

About a dozen rockets and mortar bombs were fired from Gaza on Friday. One accidentally struck a northern Gaza house killing two Palestinian sisters, aged five and 13, and wounding a third, Palestinian medics said."

For a few rockets that have not injured or killed anyone being fired into Israel in response to Israel's blockade of life sustaining goods, and other humanitarian violations as described by many government officials and humanitarian organizations, firing a barrage of missiles into civilian populations is a little overkill in my opinion. Yes, Israel has a right to defend herself, and so do the Palestinians against a bully that never took the cease fire serious. This is like torching a neighbor's house because the neighbor's kids threw rocks that didn't hurt anyone except the pride of the other neighbor.

Israel is a bully, and more. Not only is this the Sabbath, but it is a holy season. But I guess Israel is above ALL laws.

    For a few Rockets? That (Luckily) didn't kill anyone? Seriously, how many near hits in your neighborhood before you are crying for defense?

    Dumb-ass Left-wingers who have no idea....

    Try firing a gun in the direction of my kids and see what happens to you. Every time Israel tries to talk peace with the Palestinians someone that is tied to either Iran or Syria attacks Israeli soil.

    Don't you get it. The Muslim Nations do not want peace with Israel. They want to drive the last Jewish corpse into the sea. That is their sworn objective. Just ask Sadat, oh wait, they Killed Him. The only Islamic leader who agreed to, (for billions of American Dollars a year.)

    Learn to read, the Left and the Right news, and then sort out the Truth. If all you do is follow those who tell you want you want to hear you are a slave. Try getting your news from those who are the opposite, (left, right, whatever) from what you believe, then you will learn to Hear Truth.

    (Why does America pay more to the Palestinians than ALL ISLAMIC NATIONS COMBINED?) Don't forget those man made islands that we can see from orbit when you truly ask yourself that question.

    ARRGGHH! I Scream! Do I believe that there are atrocities carried out by Israeli forces. Of course, it happens in Every conflict. Look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Vietnam for Gods sake. Korea, WWII, WWI, pick any war from any society.

    For that matter why has the United Nations ignored the "children's war" the "intifada" that uses children as a shield against the Israeli Forces? There are multitudes of examples of children killed while Men(?) fired guns from behind them. Men who should burn in every Hell of every Religion. That includes the betrayers of Islam who send suicide-murderers out to kill innocent non-combatants for the sake of terror. May their worm never die, may they gnash their teeth throughout the ages for the evil they have done.May the calamities fall upon themselves and their families the evil they intended upon others for the betrayal of their people and their G-d.

    So now, with news pouring in, the Israeli Defense forces are saying the are going to intensify the operation. What is really sad about this, the pictures coming in are people from civilian housing projects being bombed. This equates into many innocent people being killed (total over 150 already) How many children? we don't know yet.

    This could have been handled in a better way.

    Really? Then why has Hamas continually placed it's missile launching area in a populated area?

    I'll tell you why. They get better press when Israel is forced to fire on them there.

    How blind are you WorldPeaceTV?

    I have been following this story for over twenty-nine years from both sides of the press.

    Israel does have many atrocities to answer for, but the evil behind this comes from nations outside of the battleground and therefore they have no care for the innocents slain on either side.

    You my friend need to learn to watch many news stations. Sift through the opinions of many naysayers. Ignore the fancy prose of the literate Sophists, and seek, Only, Truth.

    Until then you are useless.

    Only 150 dead so far.... not a good ROI. I thought they were better than that. I wa\ould hope for well over a thousand

    Every Palestinian death is upon the heads of the Islamic Nations who refuse them entry.

    The Palestinian people are used as a political bargaining chip with the United Nations. Just look at Africa, where millions of refugees move back and forth between Nations as politics drives them. Do they end up as the Palestinian people do in Lebanon? Of course not. And why? Because the Palestinians are more valuable as hostages.

    It's simple math. America gives more money than All The Islamic Nations a Year Combined. Why do they allow their own people to live in the degradation of the refugee camps? Because it serves their purpose against Israel. It has since the founding of Israel in 1948, and it especially has since Israel headed off Syria and Egypt's attacks in 1967.

    And as far as the Sabbath hypocrite, they are allowed to defend themselves. That is why the missiles were fired when they were, or are you not smart enough to figure that out on your own?

    Israel is a killing machine... Running on Zionist blood, not Jewish.

    People are dying with out medicine, no clean water, not enough food, and to top it off the little food that there is Hamas controls and uses it as a tool.

    Those deaths do not count as if Israel has commited them, but cutting off supplys, water and power, Israel has galons up on galons of blood on their hands, on top of air strikes and raids.

    Hamas is also to blame for food shortage, but if there was enough food flowing into Gaza strip then Hamas wouldnt be able to use it as a tool, but Israels blockade does not let enough food thru.

    "Live video broadcasts showed dozens of injured and dead Palestinians in Gaza City, many of them screaming, while Palestinian ambulances raced to the scene."

    Same Fracking Story that the Headline claims 155 from. Bastards trying for headlines from deaths they provoked.

    "Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum called for a massive response to the airstrikes and a renewal of operations within Israel.

    He also asked Palestinians to “remain patient in light of these Israeli crimes.”

    Sources within Hamas told Ma’an that every de facto security building in the Gaza Strip was attacked.

    Islamic Jihad leader Khaled Al-Batsh said that the Israeli attack amounts to “open war” against Palestinians, intended “to put down the resistance.”

    Al-Batsh condemned international and Arab States for their “silence on such massacres.” He also swore that what had happened “would never make the resistance factions surrender.”

    How do you spell "Propaganda?" and a Muslim news source no less, they quote Reuters; please? Are you seriously contributing this as a unbiased news story?

    I would prefer you to just be ignorant but you had to be looking on Muslim sites to find this obscure

    AP says (at 8:00est) dozens dead and 120 by Palestinian estimates.

    The strip is so heavily populated, i really do hope the death-toll has reached it's max. Not much of a cease-fire after all.

    Well I hope that Hamas gets exactly what they want... As long as the Palestinians keep them in power they deserve what they get. To us an old American saying " you lie with dogs ...you get fleas" so until they are tired of living like animals and take charge of thier own destiny and stop being puppets for Hamas, Iran and scapegoats for the rest of the Arab world they get what they get.

    Seems like everyone forgets that the rest of the Arab world has long since disowned the Palestinians, all I hear is how the evil Jews have blocked off all supplies to Gaza but if I am not mistaken Egypt maintains a border crossing there as well that it keeps closed as well.... so much for arab brotherhood...guess they dont want the Palestinians to leave and have a better life either....

    When will the Islamic nations pay for all of their wrong doing? I think the whole world should retort and wipe this problem clean off of our "TO-DO" list.

    is this even considered news anymore?

    Anyone who does not believe a nation and a people do not have the absolute right to protect themselves in their own land is not only the worst sort of hypocrite but a total idiot. That is how I would describe the person who submitted this story. It goes without saying that he is completely biased and, of course, is a Nazi.

    We do realize whe the terrorists are.... Why do you think we support Israel ? Terrorist acts are conducted by Hamas and those of the same ilk. So the people who support Hamas are simply getting what they deserve... If Israel was really trying to kill atll the people in Gaza then they would have been dead years ago

    Israel has 3000 missiles rained on them this year with Hamas promising to wipe out all the Jews till the very last, sends in suicide bombers, receives funding from terror states like Iran and Syria, radicalizes their children and the world collectively yawns while focusing on the delusional "peace" (read: surrender) process for Israel.

    But the moment Israel decides its had enough of the one-sided war against them and defends themselves, suddenly its a humanitarian crisis caused by those evil Zionists.

    This is not a war about land, because if it was the hostilities would've ended with the already re-drawn borders. This is a war about an intolerant, hate-mongering 7th century death cult (Islam), that has been waging war/jihad against humanity for 1400 in their imperialist drive for global domination. They've slaughtered 270 million non-muslims and decimated/conquered 57 countries and counting.

    There are only two kinds of people in the world, muslim and non-muslim. If you're the latter, you must covert, be subjugated or else killed according to Islam. Muslims are today Nazis, we're in WW3 against them. Unite all democratic nations and let's defeat this civilization-destroying parasitic disease called Islam.
