Israeli missile hits bridge in central Gaza
Reuters ^ | June 27, 2006

Posted on 06/27/2006 2:09:27 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

An Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a bridge in the central Gaza Strip on Tuesday as troops prepared for a threatened offensive into the territory, Palestinian witnesses said.

Israel has been planning a major push into the territory following the capture of an Israeli soldier by militants from Gaza on Sunday.

This is shocking!

Palestinians have a bridge?

Surely they didn't build it themselves.

Surely.

AP Report also:

Israeli Planes Attack Bridge in Gaza

*************************************

ASSOCIATED PRESS

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -

Israeli planes attacked a bridge in northern Gaza late Tuesday, Israel Radio reported, and Israeli tanks were said to be on the move, possibly signaling the start of a military operation.

Palestinian security forces said Israeli tanks were on the move near the Israeli village of Nahal Oz, a main Israeli staging area just outside Gaza, but they had not yet entered the territory.

Israel has been massing troops and armor around Gaza since Sunday, when Palestinian militants tunneled under the border and attack an Israeli army post at a Gaza crossing, killing two soldiers and abducting a third.

That's okay. They can bomb the crap out of them from the air first, THEN go in with the tanks.

I suspect that there'd be no need for the IDF to hit a bridge unless there was somebody on the bridge who was worth hitting.

Do you know the pali's have an Israeli soldier prisoner for about 20 years. Ron Arad.

No amount of dealing with that murdering dog Arafat got him back to his family.

WWIII?

Actually WWIV -- WWIII was begun in the 11th Century, declared in 1976 (Entebbe) and spread on 9/11.

Haaretz has a blurb about keeping the PA from moving forces around.

Only makes sense in prep for a general offensive into Gaza. We'll see, it's just after midnight over there, we shoudl know something in the next 4 or so hours.

They need to move from north to south and disarm all of the palestinians, and push them down to the egyption border. Filter through every single last one of them

Here's a blurb from J-Post:

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1150885866851&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

"IAF aircraft blew up a bridge in the northern Gaza Strip shortly before midnight on Tuesday.

The army said that the strike was intended to prevent Hamas from removing kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit from the Gaza Strip, where he is being held captive."

Haartez reporting another teenager taken and possibly dead already.

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/731937.html

This is going to be the nail in the coffin for Hamas.

No I did not know that, thanks for the info.

You are correct about Arafat and at least Pres. Bush refused to deal with him for the most part. God Bless Ron Arad and may he be brought home safely.

Palestinian terrorist (and planner of the Munich Olympic atrocities) Mahmoud Abbas
consoles Houda Ghalia after Palestinian and Hamas terrorists blew up her family
and then encouraged her to blame Israel.
She did. Then, only the traitorous MSM and Zonder PM-Olmert fell for the rouse.

Any and all US citizens and residents who see television cameras should dance with joy, if the IDF is in fact now moving into Gaza. It's a much better cause for celebration than that of the so-called "Palestinians" after 9/11.

. . .In northern Gaza, Palestinians blocked roads with dirt and barbed wire Tuesday morning, anticipating a military operation. Militants wielding automatic rifles and anti-tank rockets patrolled the streets as tensions hit their highest along the frontier since Israel quit Gaza nearly a year ago.

"We are ready to confront any stupid act that the Zionists might commit," said Abu Obeida, spokesman for Hamas' military wing. "We are well prepared and God willing, we are not going to welcome them with flowers."

Better to return the abducted Israeli soldier before you're planted under the flowers, Abu.

Ron Arad was captured in 1986...the pilot of his plane was rescued, Ron was caught, unfortunately. There have been reports that he was in an Iranian prison....and the leader of Hizbollah says that it is his understanding that Ron Arad is dead and his remains are "lost", whatever that means.
