An Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a bridge in the central Gaza Strip on Tuesday as troops prepared for a threatened offensive into the territory, Palestinian witnesses said.
Israel has been planning a major push into the territory following the capture of an Israeli soldier by militants from Gaza on Sunday.

To do what? Surround Mahmoud's crib in a "threatening fashion" but do nothing? Nope, blast the crap out of what's left after the airstrikes.

Palestinians have a bridge? Do they have any rivers to put a bridge over in Gaza?
Surely they didn't build it themselves.
Probably built by the Brits, maybe during or even before WW-II.

That's okay. They can bomb the crap out of them from the air first, THEN go in with the tanks. Too bad we can't chop a few BUFFs over to them, for Pest Control. They'll have to make do with F-16s, and F-15Is, which will take a potfull more sorties to get the job done. OTOH, maybe they've got something like the MOAB or "Daisy Cutter", and it so, they've got C-130s to deliver the little darlings.

George, your map must be wrong. Don't you know all Palestinians live in one huge, squalor-filled refugee camp because that's where the Israelis kept them? I mean, isn't the population like 2500 per square acre? That map can't be right!

Too bad the soldier doesn't have an implanted chip in him so that GPS could locate him.

Drudge has a piece stating that the bridge may have been destroyed to ensure the kidnapped soldier is not moved out of Southern Gaza.

due to the low supply of hand-sized stones after 60 years of throwing, Palestinian leaders have stepped up use of the snapping wet towel and the bucket o'water over transom but with little effect.

Israels armed forces are making every effort to prevent the Israeli hostage from being taken out of the Gaza Strip, but without firm knowledge of where he is hidden, they are groping in the dark.
The IDF are now paying in full the price for passing the Philadelphi border strip to Egyptian security (and intelligence) control.
Earlier, Palestinian PRC umbrella spokesman Muhammed al-Al said Gilead Shalit has been moved to hideout where the Zionists will never reach him
DEBKAfile: The Palestinians are waging a war of nerves, countering IDF statement of action underway to prevent the Israeli hostages transfer outside the Gaza Strip from a location in the south.

Too bad the soldier doesn't have an implanted chip in him so that GPS could locate him Doesn't work that way. While a GPS receiver can be smaller than than the ones folks can buy at WalMart, they aren't yet "chip size". Besides which, GPS sets don't transmit the satellites do that, the user sets only receive, you'd have to have a separate transmitter, something like an emergency locater beacon. If you had a transmitter, you wouldn't need GPS, because you could triangulate, although it would help. Pilots have carried small emergency radios, with beacon mode, since the '60s. They are now about the size of a largish cell phone, actually a bit larger. Your cell phone probably has a built in GPS set, mine does, although *I* can't get to the results.
