Israel air strikes continue after death of Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari. Hamas: It’s war
Debka ^ | 11/14/12

Posted on 11/14/2012 8:23:28 AM PST by Dave346

After confirming the death of Ahmed Jabari, commander of Hamas’s military arm, Ezz e-din al-Qassam, Hamas announced: We are now at war with Israel. Jabari, 52, was killed by a targeted Israeli air attack in Gaza City. A key figure in the radical Palestinian Hamas movement, he was caught driving in a black Mercedes in Gaza City. Hamas has announced a general call-up and threatened to respond not just with rockets but suicide attacks. Israeli sources say the air operation called Pillar of Cloud is underway against more Hamas leaders and its military infrastructure and rocket stocks across the Gaza Strip until peace is restored to southern Israel. debkafile’s military sources report that southern Israeli is on high alert in expectation of a furious Hamas reprisal for the loss of its leading terror strategist. Areas such as Gedera and Gan Yavneh which have escaped most missile attacks may now be targeted. Israel may also expect repercussions from Cairo since Jabari was a favorite of the ruling Muslim Brotherhood and his death occurred the day after Egypt brokered a ceasefire in the missile offensive from the Gaza Strip. That “ceasefire” was violated Wednesday with five Grad rockets against the Eshkol district.

To you and I yes. To Europe it’s, “Aw, the poor Palestinians. What can we do to help?”

Talk about a continent with it’s head up it’s posterior as it relates to Israel...

Does Israel invade Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, or Egypt? As long as it’s neighbors leave it alone, it leaves them alone.

The Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza, just can’t stop trying to push Israel into the Med, even if only figuratively.

Who knew firing rockets into Israel at the rate of a few to a few hundred per day would result in Israel losing it’s patience at some point?

How can anyone say this is Israel’s fault

Good to get it done as soon as possible. Daily prayers for Israel would also be good.

Why not state that any nuke attack on Israel will cause an immediate conversion of MECCA into a trinitite-paved, glassy, dead zone.

The “prophet’s tomb” is a good ground zero...

Maybe during max Hajj?

Yeah, the muslim whackos in control of Egypt now will probably launch an assault on her along with Iran maybe. Isreal may have to resort to nukes to defend herself. It is all foretold.

All too typical of the Jihadis. They are offended by anyone who fights back.
Similar to the ‘Rats here in the US.

BTTT!!

The Jerusalem Post has a story stating that this action destroyed 20 Underground Rocket Launchers -- long enough in range to hit Tel Aviv.

Since Hamas has been firing rockets from Gaza, they have brought this upon themselves.

The Jerusalem Post article:

Israeli air strike kills Hamas military chief Jabari

The subtitle is:

IAF hits 20 underground sites housing long-range launchers capable of striking Tel Aviv; Hamas says Israel "opened the gates of hell" with Gaza hit; strikes mark start of targeted anti-terror campaign.

Hamas brought this upon themselves...

Before we all start running around flailing our arms, I think we need to observe this story comes from Debka. They are *never* right.

Iran is next.

If we had Real American leadership, we'd be sending boatloads of munitions to Israel right now. They're going to need a bunch real soon.

The Israelis have good reason to be getting more aggressive. Recent pics from middle east news guys of the rocket motors fired at Israel show a much more sophisticated unit than the home jobs we’re used to seeing. Means the Hamasses are getting more outside help. It’s fine with me if Ben figures it’s time to light ‘ém up and clean ‘ém out.

"Pillar of Cloud" sounds kinda Biblical to me. Hamas might wish to consult with their moon god ASAP. And while they're at it, read the fine print on their land deeds that talks about, "All lands from the Euphrates to the Nile"...
