[Israel] Knesset authorizes immediate draft of reservists

Israel is probably expecting escalation. It is possible will become involved militarily.

Egypt has recalled its embassador from Israel.

Hamas has fired over 200 rockets from Gaza in the past 24 hours.

And the Palestinians are asking the UN for help after terror groups in the Palestinian areas fire rockets at Israel.

Someone needs to show Israel's side of how Israel has a right to defend itself.

Finish it. Don’t play hokey pokey like Olmert.

Fox news just reporting rockets landing in suburbs of Tel Aviv.

[dfwgator]

Cry havoc!

[KC_Lion]

Yikes! Ping!

I don't know what will happen.

I have to be strong for my family.

ROCKETS STRIKE TEL AVIV SUBURB. Hamas debating further escalation as Israel continues large-scale operation

It’s on like Donkey Kong. This is not going to end well. The next few days are going to be critical.

Good News:

Syria to the North is divided because of the Civil War in Syria.

Egypt might come to the aid of the Palestinians, but they might do dumb things militarily -- putting extremists in command of the military?

Iran is too far away to intervene without problems...

But the Arab League might get kicked into gear (Saudia Arabia and others). I fear that the most.

The Israelis have been intercepting rockets/missiles with Iron Dome and they have the Patriot systems.

Hopefully that will minimize the damage.

Prayers up. Stay strong Israel.

>Further, the senior Hamas members said the group is likely to use antiaircraft and other advanced missiles against IAF airplanes operating over the Gaza Strip.

I would suspect by now Israel knows the details of every hamas leader down to the drill sergeant level.

Hopefully they deliver a gift wrapped package to each and every one.

[myrabach]

My heart and my prayers are with Israel...

[Logical me]

Israel has no choice but to destroy Hamas in Gaza and take occupation of the Gaza strip forever. Police to patrol with authority to shoot to kill any resistance. If Egypt interferes, destroy most of the Country. Iran will shi! a brick knowing the corrupt government of their country may not have the support of its population.

[Obadiah]

Man, good thing Obama's in charge! He's got Al Qaeda in its heals, bin Laden is dead, and the Arab Spring is peacefully... er, wait...

[ari-freedom]

“Iran will shi! a brick knowing the corrupt government of their country may not have the support of its population. “

But it knows it has the support of Obama and Putin.

“But the Arab League might get kicked into gear (Saudia Arabia and others).”

That would be the best justification to nuke Mecca and be done with it.

The PLO’s are such a bunch of whiners about land “their land” yatta yatta-—it’s always seemed to me that they should lose a little every time they fire a rocket. My formula would be one rocket for one square mile of arab land——shoot it and lose it. the Israelis have Caterpillar D9 El-tracks which could clear the square mile in about a day. Except for the Golan they have never been made to pay for their cheap shots. Israel should never have given back the Sinai. Gaza was a good effort by Sharon but it didn’t work. Just take it back, send the Gaza’s back to Egypt, flatten the place for a buffer zone. Arabs don’t understand anything except getting their teeth kicked to their sphincters. Looks like it might happen this time.

The Saudis are likely very quietly helping Israel to stop Persians from getting the bomb, IMHO. Hence they are not likely to dump on them over Gaza at this time.

My heartfelt and urgent prayers for Israel. I am sick for my country as well.
