IAF planes on Sunday afternoon attacked at least twenty smuggling tunnels along the Philadelphi Corridor, on Gaza’s southern border with Egypt. The tunnels were being used to smuggle weaponry into Gaza, according to the IDF.
The IDF said that it would continue to expand operations against such tunnels along the Corridor.
Earlier Sunday, the IAF said that Hamas operatives tried to shoot down an Israeli plane at the weekend using an anti-aircraft missile.
The IDF has said that Hamas possesses several shoulder-held ground-to-air missiles, and in air raids overnight Saturday, the IAF hit a Gaza mosque in which a number of them were stored.

Damn!

Filled with Hamas, maybe.
Comment by SeniorD on 1/11 @ 11:06 am #
This fits in very nicely with the overall strategy – start at both ends, meet in the middle and HAMAS can keep whatever is left standing.

Olmert hesitates, in fear of moral cretins. Livni may not be much better. Barak either for that matter. This begins to approach an instance of a genuine national tragedy (if a nation can be taken in a metaphorical sense, as a character with a life and mind, no simple transaction in itself).

Those were underground kindergardens you redumblican warmongrels.
Comment by maggie katzen on 1/11 @ 11:22 am #

Storing missiles in a mosque = actual war crime.
Blowing the shit out of the mosque instead of getting your own troops killed = moonbat war crime.
Comment by Spiny Norman on 1/11 @ 12:23 pm #
SDN,
The moonbats are pissed that Hamas can’t store their weapons in, or fire them from, places the Israelis can’t touch.
NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR!

The regular anti-semites that post here show up to say those tunnels are needed to bring supplies to the poor blockaded Palistinians in

You may find yourself living in a Qassam shack
You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large ambulance
You may find yourself in a blowndown house, with a war-stressed wife
You may ask yourself; Well…How did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let the Hamas hold you down
Letting the days go by/Hamas flowing underground
Into the shit again/after the Imam’s gone
Splodydopes lifetime/Hamas flowing underground

Related: I read the other day that Israelis won’t allow journalists into the area in Southern Israel that are being shelled. Is this true? And if it is, why?
The Palis are increasingly ham-handed at it, but, understanding perhaps that they can’t win an actual war, always manage to engage in the PR war fully. I’m just at a loss to understand why the Israelis don’t as well.

Haha,
Bombing tunnels…brilliant.
All on the U.S. taxpayer’s dime.
Watch out, Mediterranean!
Comment by Mossberg500 on 1/11 @ 12:44 pm #
Isn’t Hamas an organization mostly made up of Palestinians? Didn’t the Palestinians vote Hamas to represent them in a democratically elected government?
As soon as the rockets fired into Israel start launching themselves, I’ll not include “Palestinians” in any future statement hoping the destroyed tunnels are occupied with residents of Gaza. I doubt that this makes my previous comment any more acceptable, but if you find it offensive, please feel free to delete it.

Which begs the question; What in the hell is wrong with roads? Unless you’re smuggling something you shouldn’t …………………….Nahhhh.
Comment by Dan Collins on 1/11 @ 12:49 pm #
All I’m saying is that there are Palestinians who are innocent. I feel especially bad for the unwitting human shields.
Comment by Mossberg500 on 1/11 @ 1:08 pm #
If it makes you feel better, I promise not to dance in the street joyfully chanting “death to Palestine”, okay?

Oh man, Sdferr, that was a sweet song parody lyric; I think I might have hurt myself rolling around the living room floor laughing my arse off!
You know, bombing these tunnels is an idea that we might consider using along the mexican border…

Here’s a nice story at Ynet about a Gaza school and all the cool stuff the IDF found in it.
And here’s one at the WaPo about how Iran is doing everything it can to keep the US economy afloat, even in the face of DoJ efforts to prevent their generous spending.
