The Israeli military commenced what government officials are calling a “widespread campaign on terror sites and operatives in the Gaza Strip, chief among them Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets” after suffering nearly a week of rocket attacks on Israeli territory.
The Israel Defense Forces opened Operation Pillar of Defense with an airstrike on a car carrying the head of Hamas’ military wing Ahmed Jabri. More airstrikes quickly followed and are believed to have targeted other top Gaza-based terrorists and their weapons caches. Update (12:25 PM): The IDF has released video of the strike.
An IDF spokesman stated on Twitter that the opening round of airstrikes targeted 20 sites and sought to destroy stockpiles of longer-range Iranian-supplied missiles that Hamas has smuggled into Gaza. One report stated that the air force struck a warehouse containing Iranian-supplied Fajr missiles.
U.S. ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro reiterated ”Israel’s right to defend itself and its citizens from these attacks” three days ago. The Obama administration has yet to comment on these latest events.
Update (11:28 AM): Israeli media are reporting that the IDF is sending emergency call-up notices to reservists. IDF General Yoav Mordechaitold Channel 2 news ground troops may be sent into Gaza: ”There are preparations, and if we are required to, the option of a entry by ground is available.”
Israeli artillery has joined the air force in hitting targets in Gaza and eyewitnesses report that multiple Israeli naval vessels have appeared along the coast of Gaza.
They should get around to telling Obama in a couple of months or so. /Carney Benghazi mode
Muslims were waiting until after the election to see if Romney didn’t get elected then they could attack
They’ll tell 0bama when he figures out what the capital of Israel is.
Sounds like the warm up to a strike on the Iranians. They are taking care of the local enemy forces first. A good idea.
Prayers for EVERYONE in Israel.

We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead.
Good luck and Godspeed in your fight Israel, may the results be in your favor.

Initial reports indicate that the Iron Dome has intercepted a number of rockets above a major Israeli city. #Gaza #PillarOfDefense
Prayers up for Israel.
The Jews are God’s people. So are we Gentiles who believe in Jesus Christ. We should have no worries.
The news coverage I have seen on this today doesn’t even mention that it was in retaliation for a week of relentless attacks by Hamas: it’s presented as if it’s just something Israel did because, well, that’s what Israel does just to amuse itself on a boring afternoon.
I just told my wife that if we truly believe they are God’s chosen people then we should support them in whatever they have to do to defend themselves. And that includes nuking every muslim country.
Joining your call for prayer.
When I get home I need to call my Parents and get the 411 on what the exact feeling in Israel is right now.
Thank you for that Wonderful Graphic!
