Hamas is like a mass shooter with his child in a baby carrier on his chest getting shot by a security guard after shooting up the place and killing several people. Then the headlines in the new york times reads “security guard murders baby in cold blood.”

The refugee camp and the hospital were rockets fired by Hamas that fell way short of where they were aimed. This has been a continuing theme, there’ve been a significant number of short rounds. One of them on the 13th took out main power lines that served about 10 percent of the population.

Tonight, they’re claiming Israeli tank guns have put holes in two of the three fuel tanks for their only power station (which supplies 20 percent of their needs). Whether that was really tank shells or another of their randomly aimed rockets hasn’t been determined. The fuel in those tanks was paid for by an emergency loan from Qatar. They get the rest of their power from Israel, to whom they owe about 80 million bucks in past due bills. The Israelis have been in court trying to get permission to shut it off until they get paid.

Tomorrow it will be a baby milk factory, a nursery school, and an old-age home.

I think Israel should just completely destroy all of Gaza , make it uninhabitable and leave it that way . No more ‘reconstruction’ , no more water , no electricity . Zero .
Put Egypt in charge of any blockade . Let Egypt dance with Turkey.
The IAF should declare a 1/2 wide area of the entire Gaza border a tunnel free area and start regularly dropping ground penetrating munitions there . Build their own cheap ones , suitable for soft earth . Save the good ones for Iran .

Why is this even called “news?”

Those people living there have freely ALLOWED and ENCOURAGED Hamas to operate freely within their communities and now they dare to to blame everyone and everything except themselves for what they are facing today?

This is not news...it’s propaganda.

Meanwhile Hamas continued to attempt mass murder by firing hundreds of rockets into Israel. The possible body count escalated to 102,570. However, the actual body count remained very low because of excellent defense.

Premeditated murder on this grand scale necessitates complete annihilation of the criminals.

Calling life under the threat of death "inconceivable" for Israel, Netanyahu said the military will not end its incursion into Gaza until it has destroyed tunnels Hamas is using to attack civilians outside Gaza.

I have a question about the tunnels:

Can't they be attacked from the Israeli side, or are they too hard to find at that end? Just curious, because it seems like it would be a good opportunity to blow MOAB-like devices through the tunnels and clean out the cockroaches that are trapped inside.

Keep the tunnels open.

Send through a massive blast of burning gasoline.

Wait for them to fill up with pali-cockroaches again.

Repeat.

CNN is American Pravda, the Enquirer has more worthiness in it’s facts than they do.

Considering what Israeli’s have been having to deal with for decades (if not centuries), I think wiping out every hospital, school and mosque in Gaza would be a good start.

No matter what the cost Israel, wipe Hamas off the face of the earth. We all see what complete barbarians they are. We will all be that much better off with them gone. I realize that cost may be very high in terms of Palestinian deaths, but future generations of Israelis and Palestinians will thank you for removing this threat to you both.

I notice when these casualty numbers are reported, they never mention whether they are “civilians” or Hamas terrorists.

Once again, the Lame Stream Media is hiding the truth: The Palestinian deaths are overwhelmingly terrorists, yet the LSM would have us believe these deaths are innocent victims.

Hogwash!

Carbon monoxide gas - colorless, orderless, deadly.

I would think seismic testing, such as oil drillers do, would reveal many of the tunnels & bunkers.

I envisioning a tunnel system much like the VC used in South Vietnam. Many miles of interconnected tunnels, levels, bunkers, etc., probably booby trapped.

The tunnels are used as storage areas for rockets & other weapons, therefore the Israelis must search & destroy them from the Gaza side, but I imagine they would attack any discovered tunnel from either side.

Are there any old tunnel rats out here on FR?

I'll be they can give some good insight on what the Israelis face underground.
