Maybe the words "cease fire" cannot be translated into Arabic.

Sure it can. It's the same word as "reload."

Reuters quotes Israeli media sources as saying the drones were packed with explosives.

Big deal...they have botched this war. We stopped any UN action for a month and gave Omhert what he asked for and her still ruined an opportunity of a lifetime to get rid of a major enemy.

Israel, like the rest of the west is in denial. They are under the illusion that the Muslims will make peace with us all.

It will never happen.

Any "cease fire" with Islamonazis will only benefit the jihadist enemy.

They're on strategic backorder to give the other nations of the world a proportional chance to destroy Israel without being too obvious.

Maybe they should try it in Farsi.

In Farsi it means "Kill the Jews." But then again, what doesn't.

Surely, the IDF has the ability to follow the controlling radio signal back to its source and nail the "pilot." Anyone hear anything about that?

Maybe I just don't understand how these drones are controlled...
