1. Those pesky Iranians built an underground tunnel from Tehran
Khalid ,   Gaza City   (08.25.07)
to Gaza, through Israel, then popped up to help the Gazans. That's the implication, is it?
2. "information that came from outside the Gaza Strip"
Marwan ,   Amman, Jordan   (08.25.07)
you mean like "extraterrestrial"?

don't mix up helmet for Olmert, quick put it on your head.
4. Palestinians thank you for the tip.
Debbie ,   Seattle   (08.25.07)
So if those terrorists had not shot at the IDF soldiers, they would not have been detected and therefore they would have been able to carry out whatever they had in mind. So beware Israelis, whenever there's fog, nobody can see a thing and any number of Palestinians can cross the fence. Why is it that such as sophisticated culture as the Israeli doesn't have the technology to detect intrusions? I'm sure they're out there, visual sensors or vibration detectors. Whatever. If not, you can invent them. But perhaps that kind of research is not a priority for the pro-Arab Olmert government.
5. #4 yes the IDF have the technology
(08.25.07)
vibration detectors operated by women soldiers
6. Divert electrical power from Gaza to protect the Fence
meir elazar   (08.25.07)
It seems that we need to divert more electrical power from Gaza to help provide high voltage electrical power to protect the Fence against PAL terrorists. Fortunately end result was that no Israelis/Jews were hurt. Both terrorists were killed. Operational procedures for infiltrations worked successfully. Analyis and post-mortem of the incident will lead to even better counter-terror measures. Two more carcasses will rot unclaimed in an Israeli garbage dump because family will be afraid to claim the bodies knowing that Israel will blow up their houses if they do. Final score: Israel 2 - PAL terrorists 0.

No, like Iranestrial or Jordanestrial.
8. #4 LOL you're welcome.
Khalid ,   Gaza City   (08.25.07)
"So if those terrorists had not shot at the IDF soldiers, they would not have been detected and therefore they would have been able to carry out whatever they had in mind." Umm, what they had in mind was to shoot at the IDF soldiers, genius. They, unlike your IDF, don't target civilians.
9. Cut Power and Water to Gaza
ralphsrant1 ,   USA   (08.25.07)
Cut Power and Water to Gaza and a 3 to five kilometer buffer. Why we give the enemy support is beyond me. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/
10. #8 - Targeting Civilians
Mark ,   Phoenix USA   (08.25.07)
You said: "Umm, what they had in mind was to shoot at the IDF soldiers, genius. They, unlike your IDF, don't target civilians. " What delusional world do you live in. The two infiltrators were not civilians. Unless of course, civilians always carry explosive belts, automatic weapons and ammunition. Despite unilaterally disengaging from your lovely strip of land, you have not setup a civil society but instead, increased rocket attacks on CIVILIAN targets in undisputed Israel. Any civilians killed or injured by the IDF are collateral to their targeted attacks on terrorist scum. Put down your weapons and stop the rocket attacks and Gaza may one day flourish. The hell you live in is your own doing. Stop blaming Israel. Long live Israel.

So where are you pointing all your ketushas? By the way, it may look like we target civilians but the fact is we are aiming at you, you just happen to be shooting from a school yard.
12. #8 ? civillians
Bruce ,   Orlando USA   (08.26.07)
Quite a chuckle at that lie Khalid. Are you sure you can get your 72 virgins when you blow yourself up, when you tell lies that one? Perhaps I'm confused about this peace loving religion.

zuri ,   Sydney Australia   (08.26.07)
first to you #4 Debbie from Seattle, I do not know what plant you're cruising..certainly not earth. Of course Israeli WILL invent build and deploy ANY operatus/machine to fight terrorism and/or destroy any approaching terrorist. it is a matter of survival something you and I may not experience on a daily basis. the state of Israel is a fact we have the right to exist that is a fact. Palis can live side by side they simply do not want to.....and for you Khalid, my Pali friend....you know exactly you guy ALWAYS hiding behind children it is your secret weapon ...always was and always will.....and the other is martyrdom self combustion. get real this will never get Palis ANYWHERE. both camps wants peace i presume. it is the extreme leaders in the communities that incite violance.
14. Technology?...phooey!
Manny ,   NY, USA   (08.26.07)
My dog would have alerted in seconds after they got over the wall. In the dark, in the fog, even in a pouring rainstorm. All the millions for F-16`s, fancy radars, space satelites, can`t detect a terrorist like a good dog. The IDF: overbudgeted & undercommonsensed.
15. Walls Will Not Keep Them Out
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (08.26.07)
Israel will never win this ongoing conflict, the way it's going about fighting. When terrorists want to go INTO Israel, to commit murder and mayhem, Israel should hit back hard. Until the PALs get the message that Israel isn't a paper tiger, they will seek better and better methods of terrorism. Why not? They have everything to gain. If they die, they go to heaven. If they succeed, well, more Jewish deaths. This is a war of attrition that Israel is losing. Until Israel wakes up, look for more of the same. Walls will not keep determined murderers out.

Khalid, Why are you on this website? Isn't it against Islam to consort with those evil Jews??? By the way in your twisted theocracy-addled brain, No Jew is a civilian and all Muslim terrorist ARE civilians. What's that? There's no such thing as a Muslim terrorist?? Hey, give that man a spot on the Comedy Channel!!
17. Which reminds me of
Obama ,   Washington DC   (08.26.07)
China building the Great Wall to keep out those barbarians from Mongolia.
18. HAMAS spends time/$ on this & lets Gaza hospitals collapse
Zvi   (08.26.07)
It's no wonder their terrorists are professional. They're professional terrorists.

probably the funniest thing i have read in several years

David L. ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.26.07)
Hey Khalid, how the hell are you connecting to the Internet in Gaza? I thought Hamas shut down all the Internet cafes (it's deemed unislamic & evil) or maybe the one you're using will be blown up by a suicide bomber in the next day or two!!
21. #1 WRONG!!!
Malcolm   (08.26.07)
Tehran rules Gaza, Hamas & parts of Sinai. They don't need a tunnel buddy...they have billions of petro dollars and do whatever they want. They even have two great candidates in the Knesset giving them what they want when they want it. The names Olmert & Livni are deep in the hearts of the ayatollahs.
22. Not so smart
Josh   (08.26.07)
They wasted a huge amount of time assmebling some absurde contraption. They could have easily designed a pompier ladder or a fire a grappling hook. The wall needs ifared intelligent video and sensors.
23. "Highly skilled" morons..now dead. Bravo
(08.26.07)
24. why do they need electricity in gaza?
and why should we ,   provide it?   (08.26.07)
