GAZA CITY -- The Israeli air force attacked two buildings in the Gaza Strip early Saturday in the first air attacks since Israel withdrew from Gaza last week after 38 years of occupation, the army said.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

The air strikes came after militants launched 21 homemade rockets from the Gaza Strip into the Israeli town of Sderot, injuring five Israelis, one moderately and the rest lightly, the army said.

Not enough.

The Palistinians believe they won the Gaza back with terror attacks and rocket attacks. Now they are going for the rest.

Israeli will have to demonstrate that it is capable of bringing total destruction on its enemies, if the attacks still continue. Otherwise, they will never stop.

Yup, I agree, time to get serious. Level every building in a 4 block radius of the source. (Estimated damages to Palestinian infrastructure: $12.35).

Next time, a 5 block area.

The whiners always counter with claim that Israel is engaging in group punishment, but the neighbors know who has the missiles and if they won't drop a dime on them then they can find their home in rubble.

Yup, Israel has made every effort and if they don't reciprocate, it might be time for a real war. None of Israel's neighbors will get involved if Israel decides they have had enough and wipe out every inhabitant of GAZA now that they are out of there

Israel controls all water and electricity for Gaza. I'd say, first time, cut it off for five days, then ten, then twenty.....

I'd have to think that after the third time, the BS would stop.

Check out the way this is written.

First Paragraph: Israel bombs Gaza after a 37-year occupation.

Third Paragraph: Oh, BTW, this was in retaliation for rocket attacks.

So do the DUmmies, Democrats, Cindy Sheeans, etc.

Hmm. There seems to be a common thread there.

The vermin in Gaza are asking for it. They will escalate this until Israel will have no choice but to reconquer Gaza and do some vermin extermination.

Hamas spokesman Mushir al Masri said the group would retaliate for the airstrikes.

They know where you live too, sucker!

True, but what are they willing to call the firing of crude unguided missiles into civilian populations?

They should design a sensitive radar to detect where these missiles are coming from. Once the coordinates are received, shoot a reply missile exactly where those came from.
