Israeli troops move to Gaza after rockets jolt Tel Aviv area
CBS News ^ | November 15, 2012

Posted on 11/15/2012 12:27:47 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Palestinian militants barraged Israel with more than 200 rockets on Thursday, killing three people as Israel pressed a punishing campaign of airstrikes on militant targets across the Gaza Strip.

Late in the day, Israel signaled a ground operation may be imminent as forces moved toward the border area with Gaza. At least 12 trucks were seen transporting tanks and armored personnel carriers, and a number of buses carrying soldiers arrived. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he had authorized the army to call-up additional reservists for possible action. The army said it was prepared to draft up to 30,000 additional troops.

"I ordered the military today to widen the draft of reserve soldiers in order to be able to be ready for any development," Barak said. Military officials said the moves were to prepare for the possibility of a ground invasion, but stressed no decision had been made. Israel TV stations, however, said a ground offensive was expected Friday.

Thank you for the ping, metmom.

Everything is coming together, and very sharply accelerated in the past three weeks.

"Wow. So, they are actually mentioning that the Pallies are firing rockets now? About time."

The election is over. It's OK to start fires again.

Israel should carpetbomb Gaza and turn it into a parking lot.

“Say “Good By” Gaza, don’t just occupy, annex it.”

How about Israel takes it, gives it to the Fatah/Palestinian Authority to fight it out in the alleys with Hamas for a month, and then goes and annexes it?

Might be fun, but I doubt there will be a month to mess around at this rate.

God Bless the IDF. Friday’s call to prayer may be a tad more sincere than usual.

Just now on FOX NEWS it was reported that the Prime Minister of Egypt has arrived in Gaza.

It was mentioned that he used to be on of the top movers and shakers in the Muslim Brotherhood.

(MB installed in Egypt by Valerie Jarret via Obama)

The reporter went on to say that Obama was counting on Egypt to be an ally in stopping terrorism.

Oh my and LOL, a guy affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood (the org that started Hamas and various other terrorist groups) and Obama expects him to fight terrorism?

Not likely, he IS terrorism.

And my formula is that the Israelis take back one square mile for every rocket fired at Israel. They need to take the profit out of taking cheap shots at Israel.
