This is exactly what Israel should have been doing all along, although this is small potatoes. They need to go after Mashaal and Haniyeh and all the rest of the human refuse that make up the leadership of Hamas. In addtion, they need to go after the rest of the clan warriors who dont listen to anyone or anything. It will be terrible if civilians perish which they inevitably will, but they have their elected goverment to thank for that. Death to Hamas, IJ, PFLP, Al-Qaeda and the rest of the jackals.

the whole stupid, repetitive process will begin again with more Qassam attacks. Now that they've gotten the ball rolling, Israel should keep up the pressure and try to take out as many Jihadists as possible before the public opinion starts twisting they're arm.

If you keep up the good targeting ,the Palestinians might just go and hide under the skirts of their women and wet their beds at night. but,but but.... Israel always stops short of victory when the terrorist start to cry and ask the west to help them. I'm afraid the Puppet OLmert will get a phone call from the divider of Israel ,Bush to stop defeating the terrorists and send them more money and guns ,and I'm afraid the puppet will oblige the emperor,destroyer of Israel and so the Palestinias will recieve the mercy they do not deserve and fight another day.

do you know what is taking place now in tripoli, lebanon?????? the LEBANESE ARMY, which cannot enter into the palestinian refugee camp near tripoli by law, has been fighting hammas and al qaeda cells of terrorists that were functioning in that palestinian refugee camp, aided by the palestinian population. the lebanese army shot at cell operatives, killing many civilians and terrorists as well, while 20 lebanese soldiers died in this mission. these terror cells have been ingrained and operated within this pali refugee camp for some time now, aided by iran and syria, wanting to destabilize a democratic moderate government and topple saniora. the palis over there are screaming murder, murder....just as they do when israel targets their terrorists. amnesty international is nowhere in sight over there. we don't hear condemnations for the same act that the idf is doing to protect its country from terrorist missiles and kasams. pali civilians are dying and there is a hush by the world organizations that scream bloody israel every time we jews protect ourselves. the lebanese army put a seige on the pali refugee camp and is having tight security control on it from without there is now, as we speak, an identical situation in lebanon, just like in gaza. the interesting thing is this.....we now are seeing that the LEBANESE ARMY IS VERY VERY CAPABLE OF ACTING AGAINST TERROR CELLS WITHIN ITS SOVEREIGNTY AND COUNTRY, AGAINST TERRORISTS THAT WANT TO HARM AND DISTABILIZE THE GOVERNMENT. WHY COULD THEY NOT SHOW THEIR MIGHT AGAINST HIZBULLAH THEN????? WHAT STOPED THEM FROM ACTING IN THE SAME MANNER TO PROTECT THEIR COUNTRY AGAINST THE SHAMBLES AND DESTRUCTION THAT HIZBULLAH BROUGHT ON LEBANON? simple answer......killing jews is acceptable. kidnapping jews is acceptable. destroying israel is acceptable. killing israeli civilians is acceptable. saniora was deluded in thinking the israel lebanon's enemy or that israel presents a security problem in southern lebanon. the real lebanese cancer is within this country. and if the lebanese army can fight terrorist cells so well when they can't enter a refugee camp, they could have done as well in trying to disarm hizbulla and eradicate its existance in that country......but hizbullah is also used by lebanon, as it is used by iran and syria to kill jews and cause the extintion of israel from the map. always double standards with these arabs.

Only the fact that he Hamas lawmaker was not home is emphasized in western press. I read: bloodshed, innocent people killed. Hamas' policy of deliberately killing innocent people is - as usual- being ignored. It looks like a bare knuckle fight, against a concrete wall: explaining the .real intentions of Hamas. People are completely mislead by the fact that Haniyah was "democratically"chosen.

EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

lets be honest. please. Atilla Karagözoğlu

I am glad to see that Israel is hitting them back. I believe that Israel has shown great restraint, however, enough is enough. It seems clear that they are trying to provoke another war. No dout Iran is behind these terror groups. It appears these terror groups are too bright, since they are the ones dying. Iran probably loves this. I believe a day of reckoning for Iran is soon to come.

JUST MAKE ME BELIEVE IN YOU. YOU CANT. YOU JUST CANT. *** THE POWER MAKES YOU NOT TALK. YOU CANT EVEN TALK OUT. THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL IS NOT FREE. I SEE THAT. I SEE THAT. I SEE THAT. THEY ALSO NEED BE BE FREE.

NO MORE MERCY FOR TERRORIST OF GAZA. THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN DEEP THOUGHT BEFORE LAUNCHING THE QASSAMS. NO DIALOGUE WORKS NOW ATTACK AND TERRORISE THE TERRORIST. THIS IS A LAWFULL MILITARY STRIKE AGAINST THE MILITANT TERRORIST ! NO DIALOGUE WITH TERRORIST !

Oh, and #8, arabs slaughtering arabs is NOT terror, it is a routine, daily activity, and that is the reason AI hasn't gotten involved. Similarly, arabs (or anyone else, really) slaughtering jews by definition is not a terrorist activity, but rather routine daily activity. Again, no reason for AI to get involved. Jews injuring the feelings of the rightful owners of Pali-land is, however, and always demands a quick and harsh response. I hope this clears the waters somewhat. Oh, and boys, better shooting next round, the missiles are expensive. Go Olmert! (PLEASE!!!)

The terrorist logic is so screwed up. THEY are the ones who fire the qassams into Israel. So the army goes after them, finds the vehicle and the terrorists responsible for firing the rockets, takes them out, and Israel is the bad guy in all of this. Their leaders promise that Israel will pay a heave price for defending their own country. Turn the tables around here for a moment. As long as Israel did nothing to stop the attacks of the qassams that killed the Jews, Israels leaders had nothing to worry about. They hate each other and they hate everybody else around them. What a pathetic life they lead. They truly wouldn't know how to live in any kind of peace simply because they are consumed with hate, teach their children to hate, and serve a god who hates all. If they can't live in peace with their own, they will never live outside of their own mind set. Such a sad excuse of an existance.

There's someone who always writes pretty good comments and never signs them...

WE ARE WASTING EFFORTS IN PRETENDING THAT TERMS FOR PEACE CAN BE ARRIVED AT WITH OUR GAZAN NEIGHBOURS ...AS LONG AS THE WORD HUDNA EXISTS IN THEIR VOCABULARY .GOOD WILL COULD NEVER BE EXTENDED .THIS SEEMS TO BE AN INSURMOUNTABLE PROBLEM

With all the provocation Israel receives it chooses pinpoint accuracy in dealing with the terrorists thus avoiding civilian casualties as much as possible. This for sure distingwishes the morality of Israelis and puts them above all other nations.

Organization official says in response, 'Zionist leaders will pay a price.' All you officials always say what you said here. You have no brains under your sculls, what you have there is 'just revenge'. You never say "we shall stop firing missiles at Israel"!? This is because you have no value for your own people. For you they are just scapegoats; bred and raised for slaughter. And if you call it a war; why should you be angry at the other side? You mean Israel should just lie down and enjoy the rape?

Good reasoning JK. You need to post more often. Those are exactly my sentiments. NUFF SAID!!

An appropriate response would be to target all of those "palestinian " representative who have called for the murder of Israeli civilians and kill them all, if you just capture them Israelis will be kidnapped to trade for them.
