This sounds like a step or 2 short of a major ground op - but the article says things may escalate further and doesn't rule out a major invasion of Gaza

This is like taking aspirn to cure a headache. They should be operating on the tumor They should destroy lives and treasure. There must be massive wailing and knashing of teeth

Hamas declared three days of official mourning in the Gaza Strip following the deaths of over forty Palestinians, mostly terrorists, killed during IDF operations on Saturday.

The IDF has been operating intensively in the Strip since Wednesday, when an Israeli student and father of three was killed by a rocket launched at Sapir College in Sderot.

Over 40 rockets, including Grad-type Katyushas, have been launched at western Negev communities on Saturday alone.

The Munich massacre occurred at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, when members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage by the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September, assumed to be an operational cover for Yasser Arafat’s Fatah group[citation needed]. The attack led directly to the deaths of 11 Israeli athletes, five of the eight kidnappers, and one German police officer.

“Abu Daoud, one of those believed to have planned or executed the Munich attack, alleged that Mahmoud Abbas was responsible for funding the operation in his autobiography, Memoirs of a Palestinian Terrorist (ISBN 1-55970-429-2). This allegation has not been confirmed by any other former members or affiliates of Black September, nor has it been verified by any historical studies.”

OK, Condi Rice is either the stupidest person to ever hold the office of Sec State, or she just hates Jews. She is jerking this yahoo (abbas) for what? For Bush’s legacy? If we had 2 missles land in this country, we would be invading....Unfortunately, Israel had more than 60 yesterday, and more than 2000 in the last 6 months...

I hate feeling this way but ever since the 2006 Lebanon debacle I have no confidence in the Israeli government’s will to see an operation through. That said I hope they surprise me this time.
