this is not going to be effective and will be of high cost the best solution is to invade gaza bring hamas regime down and to control the phealedelphae route to prevent the smuggling of weapons and try to free shalit all what israel is doing now is useless and will increase the terror more and more in forms of rockets and bombing as happened yesterday in jerusalem netanyahu must fire barak as he is unfir to do that job because it may end as cast lead but instead he must appoint moshe yaalon as the defense minister if netanyahu wont do that he can go home as long he cant defend israel as olmert couldnt shalom

Are there many Egyptians who follow these stories as closely as you do?

Iron Dome is very expensive. Reoccupying Gaza is cheaper and more efficient.

I just arrived in Israel a few hours ago. If age 26 isn't too old, I'm ready to enlist in the IDF and defend Israel no matter what the risk to my own life! Israel belongs to G-d and we Jews are His people.

Thank you, I couldn't have said it better myself !!!!!!!!!!!

Now they know how far away they must be so as to avoid Iron Dome. Seems pretty dumb to me to publish this.

You are absolutley wrong Faday. If you were there, you would notice that even a cat can't walk in the area without being detected. All the material , weapons, food and whatever which is arriving at the Egyptian side to be transpoted through the tunnels to the Gaza side, is in plain veiw for all to se!!! It's the Egyptiam authorities which constantly look the otehr side, and they could so easily prevent even one round of ammunoition being crossed ver to the Hamas. So my friend, it's the Egyptians under Mubarak, whc are resposible for the armoing of the Hamas. Let's hope that thre new Egypt without Mubarak, is going to correct the situation. But I doubt it . Everything going to be the same.as before. Arab are Arabs, and they hate Israel, under any leadership. let's be frank about it.

This is nonsense. The Hamas are deliberately testing the iron dome to see how they can overcome the system. This should only be used as a cover for a ground invasion. So what will happen is that they will look for bigger and stronger missiles and then focus on Sderot. Now there aren't many lefties in Sderot so who could care much for these now “New Settlers". Bibi man up and replace Barak with Yaalon, the father of Defensive Shield!

Wow! I had voiced those exact same opinions before I read your post. You are very clever and it seems like you have served in the military. You spoke the truth and the truth hurts. God Bless You!

It's time for the Iron Fist!

Iron dome shmiron dome. Hasn't knocked down a single rocket yet. blah blah blah Why didn't we buy some of the Yankee made systems to do this? Guys in the IDF and IDI get their noses outta whack thinking this?

i wish i was as brave as you

every Israeli is precious. They will kill Shalit.

What kind of BS is the IDF giving us? They are going to give us an umbrella to shield us from Hamas rockets?? Come on! How long will that work, (if at all) until they just keep improving their sophistication as hit us with a different type of attack. The only way to do something is to go in and kill every bastard that we can find.

week would stop ham-ass terror. Every terror attack should result in another thousand shells hitting gaza.

on Gaza.

i am very sure that you are not an egyptian, whatever you are i guess this is not the ideal way to get rid of the bloodshid in the area. we have to call for peace rather than induction for killing and hostility i am as palestinian we are suffering as the israeli suffer as will even we suffer in large scale. the main solution for such dilirium is the spreading of peace and the ready mintality towards peacefull bargains rather than spreading the iron dom we have to stop creating horror and scarey atmoshere for both ashdod kids and gaza kids. believe me, peace is not only cruicial palestinian need but also israeli demand as well

to # 10 the egyptians cant be reliable to do the job israel shouldnt depend on any foreign forces to protect its borders or strategic areas so the only solution is that the idf themselves to control the philadelphae route to stop the smuggling and of course after the destruction of the tunnels to # 16 shalit should be returned by military operation not by exchange hamas wants 500 terrorists in addition to 500 security prisoners the 500 terrorists 100 of them are mass murderer they are responsible for the killing of more than 800 israelis imagine this a terrible price if israel freed the 500 security prisoners and forced hamas by millitary to concede the rest so shalit can be exchanged only for the 500 security prisoners thats will great but israel doesnt want to do anything except only to carry out the exchange but with some modifications which reused by hamas

If you would think about this carefully, you also may realize that range and other important facts are NEVER given out to the media...Just really "genera"l information.is released.
