I hope the soldiers all recover nicely and my thoughts to their families especially during our Seder Holiday. As for the terrorists, my they all be killed!!!

No Gazan civilian casualty, 2 car bombs; one exploded, no human shields; but morning fog blinding tanks' and plans' vision, six IDF soldiers wounded, more "soroking". The nightmare of Israel has come true.

Under the circumstances, what is needed is not negotiations with Hamas, but strong military action against it. Israel should not undertake a brief incursion, but a major invasion of Gaza to uproot Hamas once and for all. If the Israeli leadership doesn’t take such action, it risks Hamas growing into an even greater menace to the State of Israel than it is today as described at : http://xrl.us/biz8x

one IDF officer killed, Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack

Palis whine and scream in choir with Dhimmi Carter that they are starving. Though when the crossings are open for supply deliveries they attack them with bombs and gunfire. Thus ALL crossings should be shut hermetically and indefinitely. Then at least there will some credibility to the claims that Palis in Gaza are starving to death... or they will stop their own thugs from attacking border crossings. When you REALLY are starving you might have the guts to kill your own thugs

Israel said: no Israeli casualty, 3 car bombs detonated On the Palestinian side of the crossing. Hamas said: 4 car bombs penetrated behind Israel's line, 13 IDF soldiers hurt.

Can't Israel learn from Iraq. The Americans seemed victorious at first, but year by year the facts become clear.

we send them goods through the crossings and they shoot us in return, all those places should be shut down, nothing should go there.

hey anti-semite. dont u have anything to do? that's what u chose for yourself? coming here on your free time to bash "the jews"? you compare israel with irak? are u stupid or an idiot? (choose one of those and tell us)

that's why no civilian hurt. But, why the scores of IDF troops hurt; they must have been surprised by the fact that arms smuggling came from the sea not from Sinai.

The Flechette shell explodes in the air and releases thousands of metal darts which disperse in a conical arch three hundred meters long and some ninety meters wide. The use of this type of shell increases the likelihood that someone other than the target will be hit by the shell's darts, thus endangering innocent civilians. Fadel Shana, cameraman, and two other Palestinian civilians were also killed in the same incident. over the past seven years, at least 18 Palestinians were killed by Flechette shells in the Gaza Strip, and at least 11 of them were civilians.

Gaza is on the brink of popular explosion. The more you press Gazans by the inhuman siege, the more they become monsters and ready to join the resistance moment of Hamas to resist the Israeli occupation and to seek revenge for the continuing massacres committed day and night against helpless civilians in Gaza. No wonder that life for the Palestinians of Gaza equals death. you will not enslave us, we prefer to die in dignity.

Then why do you need our water, electricity and supplies? You said you prefer to die. The terrorists try to close the crossings and to make you die for their political gains. And you are licking their feet.

Helena from Sweden - Tell me how can Israel close the crossings without being accused of "disporportionate" response and "collective punishment" in your own country of Sweden?

From time to time...

The problem is not Israeli soldiers shooting at civilians but arab terrorists-militiamen hiding among them. If the presence of civilians in the danger perimeter is a reason for not shooting at a threat, then I can devise a military tactic that will always win...

"we prefer to die in dignity" Die then, what are you waiting for? Do you expect us to weep?

(Then why do you need our water, electricity and supplies ) !!! Your water ?? you brought this water with you from Russia or from Bolonia ?? !!!

Leading the charge, for peace?

and give the supplies to Abbas to distribute from the west bank? Then be prepared to pound hamas if they screw around with Abbas.

You gazans voted for terrorists who fiendishly indoctrinate children into your cult of death. This insane brainwashing is done so these children will grow into hate-filled monsters who will perpetuate the notion of eternal jihad. And you complain about the seige? Live like decent, normal human beings and you will be accepted as such. Live like moral reprobates, and you will deservedly continue to live like the animals you have become. Every country that has had to deal with you has had to employ the same tactics - necessitated by your mad dog philosophy. So keep on blaming others, and keep on dying.

...and these humanitarian crossings are deadly needed by the Gaza population, about which Hamas obviously doesn't care.

TOV MEOD, IDF!!! THERE ARE MANY CHRISTIANS AND JEWS HERE IN THE STATES WHO RECOGNIZE THE GOOD IDF SOLDIERS DO FOR ISRAEL. WE SUPPORT YOU IN THE STATES. STAY VIGILANT AND GO IDF!!!

the water, electricity and supplies; guess who pay for them, In Advance. Yes correct!; the EU. Then why does Israel Allow the supplies into Gaza? because Israel cannot but Allow them.
