Israel Broadens Targets in Gaza Barrage: Power, TV and Radio Stations Hit in Gaza
New York Times ^ | 07/29/2014 | By BEN HUBBARD and JODI RUDOREN

GAZA CITY — Israel’s aerial assaults on targets in Gaza broadened on Tuesday, with barrages that destroyed Hamas’s media offices, the home of a top leader and what Palestinians said was a devastating hit on the only electricity plant, plunging the enclave of 1.7 million into deeper deprivation with no power, running water or sewage treatment.

The intensified assaults on the battle’s 22nd day came as diplomacy toward a cease-fire sputtered amid apparent confusion and mixed signals.

Israel’s military made clear it had widened the scope of the bombing campaign in Gaza to hit the political structures of Hamas and another militant group, Islamic Jihad, including the home of Ismael Haniya, the No. 2 Hamas official behind Khaled Meshal, its leader-in-exile in Qatar. But Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a spokesman for the Israeli military, said it was unclear whether Israel had been responsible for the debilitating strike on the power plant, where an enormous fire hurtled thick, black smoke skyward, visible for miles.

If the IDF wasn’t so dam*ed humanitarian, it would have wiped out the ya a problem long ago. And they could end it today by the simple expedient of replacing all the gaza broadcasts with 24/7 Obama, Hillary, pelosi, Reid, CNN and Msnbc speeches/channels. But torture is against some silly rule I guess?

They need to destroy the tunnels and best would be to turn the northernmost half mile of Gaza into a 500’ deep hole so that the idiots need to dig 500’ down before they could even think about tunneling under Israel.
