61. DOES ISRAEL CHARGE THEM FOR ELECTRICITY?
DOUBLEWIDE ,   ATLANTA GA USA   (11.14.12)
DOES ISRAEL DISCOUNT IT? HOW ABOUT for every rocket, a 50% surcharge for one month? CAN ISRAEL CUT IT OFF AFTER A ROCKET ATTACK FOR 24-96 HOURS 24 HOURS OF NO POWER FOR EACH MORTAR ROCKET OR MISSILE...
62. truth.
DavidR ,   USA   (11.14.12)
The gates of hell had to be opened to let in al-jabari and his son. They will remain open to allow in the rest of hamass.
63. The war is official
Ezra ,   SanDiego   (11.14.12)
Everyone needs to acknowledge that the conflict is a full blow war now.
64. A decade later...
Astronaut ,   ME, USA   (11.14.12)
If Bush and Allies had the b@llS to go after the perps the Day After 9/11, all this would be moot. Western nations, compelled by the UN, have "tolerated" the antics of these vermin for far too long. Four more years of You-Know-Who doesn't exactly spell "Peace and Love" anytime soon. Kol Hakavod, Israel: strike them in the gonads.
65. hell for jabari and all terrorists
kem k. ,   fort smith, USA   (11.14.12)
Hell gate is wide opoens and will receive all of you with open fire. welcome to hell...you stinky terrorists. Transportations to hell are provided by God armforces (IDF).
66. after 160 rockets, animals expect immunity?
rick ,   walnut creek   (11.14.12)
are these terrorist-murderers morons? only a moron, a fool, an infant could be surprised that a nation would not passively submit to rocket attacks. what did the terrorist swine expect? Israel wants peace with its neighbors. but if its hateful neighbors are determined to attack, Israel has no choice.
67. hide Hamas
Mark ,   USA   (11.14.12)
The leaders of Hamas are like cock roaches. They run and hide when the lights are turned on. Where are your leaders now. THEY ARE NOT ON THE FRONT LINES. You can find them hiding behind the women and children.
68. a good start
Barney ,   USA   (11.14.12)
hamas won't do anything more than they have been doing. they have stated their goal.
69. Well, here we go again.
Chaim ,   Arad   (11.14.12)
So, does anyone not know what is going to happen over the weeks to come? We will endure more rockets in the south. We will assemble, come up with a name for the battle; we will go in and kick butt and take names. Hamas will fight ferociously but we will advance. There will be stories of our fine men raping women and children and horrible stories that the media around the world will believe hook line and sinker and then add some of their own pipe dreams. The Muslim Brotherhood will broker a "piece" agreement after the Hamas wants a hudna so they can reload. We will go in and sign all the while the rockets keep falling. Of course the world will look the other way and blame us for being in the way of the falling rockets. Back in the USSA, Obama will hail the Muslim Brotherhood for the treaty and recommend them for the Nobel "Piece" prize. We will be sued for breathing. We will fall back, rockets will continue, and back to square one...again.
70. It's about time...
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (11.14.12)
It's about time. Now this should send a strong message to Hamas and Hezbollah. Let these terrorist know that for every missile they send to Israel there is a return address at the top. Now this is the Israel that the world knows and respects.
71. We Are Taught Not To Rejoice . . .
emanon ,   USA   (11.14.12)
We are taught not to rejoice at the death of an enemy. That's real difficult to observe in this case. One more thing. Watch the video. The arabs are arguing with each other over which way to move the stretcher, which way to point the fire hose and everything else. How can they unite to run a country if they can't unite for a disaster?
72. The question is why did they start?
nibor ,   israel   (11.14.12)
They thought Israel would sit back and not react?
73. what?? Israel has decleared war on Gaza?? WHO SENDS ROCKET?
(11.14.12)
74. THANK YOU IAF !!!
arthurf ,   amsterdam   (11.14.12)
A big thank you to all who contributed to the assassination of this terrorist. You are heroes!!! I hope you will not wait for the remaining terrorists to strike again. Take time out now. How many Israeli victims have fallen till today? How many more do you want to witness? If it has to be....FLATTEN ALL GAZA!
75. that was
Jerry ,   Jerry1800@gmail.com   (11.14.12)
a nice car
76. Way to Go IDF...you rock and roll guys!
Ben ,   fantastic Israel   (11.14.12)
Its about time Barak got off his ego tuchus and hope this wont be a one off!!
77. Hamas rules in Gaza, so Hamas is
Arlene ,   Israel   (11.14.12)
responsible for all the rockets fired into Israel. Watching the news and although I hate to see such destruction, anywhere, they deserve everything the IDF lands on them. Hamas stop crying like a bunch of girls, you have asked for it, now put up with it. Israel, keep pounding, its the only solution it seems, sadly but our folks in the south have had enough!!!
78. Savage Terrorist Eliminated
B. Emet ,   Tel Aviv   (11.14.12)
Kol HaKavod. It is about time, but don't stop there.
79. last paragraph : not correct
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.14.12)
......have previously assassinated .....must be ELIMINATED . IDF soldiers are NOT assassins . The Fogel family zl was assassinated .
80. I wish the IDF success against the Radicals
Jean-Pierre ,   Austria   (11.14.12)
Thou the UN, EU, and US would be against it, they Need a buffer Zone to Keep terrorizing Israel, however egypt is likely to become a buffer Zone too. Israel must be strong and ready, the enemy is blood thirsty for jewish blood. sad world we live in.
81. What a "war", what "heroes"
Albrecht   (11.14.12)
Like shooting fish in a barrel.
82. Will Russian Jets Oppose F16s?
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (11.14.12)
Its about time. Obviously both sides wited untilafter the US elections. Now that impediment isoverwith, Israel can also test Hez,Iran,PFLP,DFLP, and Obama, with Hillary resigning. The US loss of its top CIA (retired general) and more firings or quitting expected, leaves a vacuum forthe terrorist thugs, militias and the MB. Israel warned Hamas and was spit in the face. Now its our turn to strike and we will strike hard. Hamas has already predicted strikes in Israel.What willIran/Hez say and do? 40,000 suicidebombers are waiting ordes from Ahmad and the Rev Guards to slaughter civilians throughoutthe world..mainly Jews and Israeli supporters.But, it knows that we will not sit by and watch.We wil lunite and unify our efforts againstIslamic terrorism, the Jihadists and the spread of the Caliphate. (Their goal). Jews and Christians see through the defeatists ande appeasers and those who apologize for the USA The Arab Spring is now the cold, wet, damp, flooded, hurricane of the Winter. The real question: when can we expect Iran to act, with its arsenal of "homemade" missiles and Russian jets?
83. Extrajudicial killings?
Stephen in New York   (11.14.12)
Does anybody still argue that this type of attack during war is an extrajudicial killing? Is this a civil matter? Should Interpol be asked to serve a warrant? Combatant leadership is targeted and so it should be.
84. #38 Short term memory
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.14.12)
Hamas fired over 80 missiles at Israeli civilians. That was a declaration of war against Israel. Now comes Israel's response to Hamas terrorists. How arrogant of you to think Hamas can do this without paying a price. Eventually their happy moments of terror come to an end when they cry and turn themselves into victims. They'll cry even more when Israel uses Palestinian tax money from labor performed to rebuild areas damaged by Hamas. This will also cover rehab costs for victims of Palestinian terror.
85. cloud pillar
(11.14.12)
That's not the operation's name. get your facts straight!
86. Jabari
Iletzter ,   TA- Israel   (11.14.12)
too little - hopefully not too late Israel should kill at least 5-10 of these terrorist- until they beg Israel to stop.
87. Israel declared war? you say?
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (11.14.12)
Really, old boy, seems like the opposite is true. A few hundred missiles rain down upon us and that is not war? really?
88. give me a break
Jerry ,   shomron   (11.14.12)
What do they mean "Israel declared war?" Is what has been going on over the past week peace? Somebody needs to explain to the pals the meaninig of reality
89. Way to go!
Mark ,   KS, Israel   (11.14.12)
Time to finally act decisivley against the leadership of terror. Am Yisrael Chai
90. Good,Israel ignores the Egyptian government
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (11.14.12)
It looks to me that Israel's government hasn't only lost patience with Hamas;it's also lost patience with Hamas's self-appointed protector,the Egyptian government. And about time too.Egypt is a paper tiger and has no business trying to prevent Israel defending itself.Egypt's business is to ensure that Hamas and other terrorists don't attack Israel from Sinai,ITS territory,as it is obliged to do under the terms of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty.Both the Egypt government and the US administration need to be reminded of their responsibilities toward Israel.The US administration has bound itself to ensure Egypt's compliance by any means. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
