Israeli warplanes strike tunnel following rocket attacks

by Kal El on August 10, 2009 · Comments

Here we have yet again, jihadis in Gaza firing rockets blindly into areas full of civilians, both Israeli and Palestinian.

Israeli warplanes bombed a tunnel along the Gaza-Egypt border early Monday in response to Palestinian mortar and rocket attacks against Israeli targets on Sunday. Two Palestinian factions, the Popular Front and the Democratic Front, reportedly fired 12 mortars at the Erez border crossing. It was the first rocket attack since July 16.

At the time of the attack, two mortar rounds landed near an ambulance that was reportedly transferring Palestinian patients into Israel for medical treatment. Dr. Moaiya Hassanain, of the Gaza Health Ministry, said it was a “miracle” that no patients were injured.

Israel responded to the mortar attacks by striking a tunnel under the Palestinian city of Rafah, along the Gaza-Egypt border. Israel maintains the tunnel was being used to smuggle explosives from Egypt into Gaza Strip. No casualties were reported in either of the attacks, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Original article.

You can bet that if the IAF had killed any jihadis, the Western media would be lamenting the loss, and accusing Israel of overreacting. Nevermind that the dumb S.O.B. jihadis nearly killed their own civilians. Or that they once again were launching mortars into Israel. But let the Israelis retaliate with a much needed beatdown and everyone starts crying and whining about the suffering of the Palestinians. I always get a non-response when I ask those same bleeding heart leftards, “Why is it that Gaza always seems to have a shortage of food and meds, but they seem to never run short of rockets/mortars/etc…?”.

  • It's always about what Israel does wrong rather than the terrorists. Anti-semitism is alive and well in America, how sad.

    Another laughable israeli attempt to deal with Hamas.I'm thinking about
    Hillary Clinton angrily ordering Netanyahu to not "derail the peace process"
    by attacking Hamas;

    Israel is on President Hussein's POCKET.

    Shame on ALL American Jews who voted for President Hussein.

    BUNCH OF CRETINS.
  • Go IDF Go.....Smash Hamas and send them to their sick and perverted neverworld, Muhammad's "paradise" of evil!!!

    I hear ya John. It always cracks me up when the palis shoot and scoot and then whine when the IDF body slams their asses. I noted all the lies about innocent pali non-combatants getting whacked, all the while the palis were actually TARGETING civilians, even killing their own when it was convenient. The most amazing part was how the ignorant, blind, stupid and idiotic liberals of the world bought into the pali BS and "world opinion" caused the IDF to quit short of what really makes sense, ethnic cleansing. See, I now believe the Serbs are right. That's the only answer that makes sense....at least until the mullahtards change their tune.

    Tonto:

    "See, I now believe the Serbs are right".

    I agree 100% with your assessment.The Serbs KNEW what they had to do.Hundreds of years of experience under islamic control taught them how to properly deal with them.

    Because of this,I won't recognize ANY country called "KOSOVO",as America disgracefully DID.That territory,STOLEN from the Serbs belongs,of course,to SERBIA.
    As far as I'm concerned,it's about the SAME thing with the "palestinians" and their
    made-up,wannabe country,"palestine",poised to be a MINI-IRAN financed by the American Tax-Payer's bottomless pockets.

    Jew Hawk, I once had a Jewish friend from college who said to me one day," Bronwyn , it is a problem . Can Israel be Jewish and be just?" I said what are you talking about? She said for us to remain in the land and be Jewish we will have to move out the Palesitinians because their birth rates are too high and they hate us.

    I have thought of this conversation over the years because I did not have an answer for her. I know that she did not entertain wholesale murder as you do. I have an anwer now and I want to run it by you. I have studied the Bible since then and it drives my answer to her and to you.

    I believe her question was based on a false premise. Israel cannot be Jewish unless she is just. Unjust Israel is an oxymoron. In other words, for Israel to begin the systematic and wholesale slaughter of Palestinians, Arabs, whatever, she will have fallen into a trap. She will have given up what makes her distinctive and frankly what attracts the protections of God, the real one. Israel cannot affored to lose her identity as she seeks to fulfill her destiny.

    All of this speech in favor of ethnic cleansing goes too far. Check yourself. And take the burden of being Jewish and being just right back up on your shoulders. Do not be provoked into the same demonic behavior as your opponents. The demonic pupose in provoking such rage in you is to make you exactly like your opponents. Resist this. Your real power comes from your love of justice. Lose this and you lose everything.
    Israel will remain Jewish because she is just. She cannot be Israel unless she is just. She will defeat her adversaries as a just God defends His character through Israel's victories. Israel means prince of God, the real one, and don't you forget it.

    Dear Bronwyn,I'll answer you rather naive post,as kindly as I could:

    Jews are like anyone else.They want to be nice,cute,funny,smart,just and generous,but in order
    to be such a likable folks,we've got to be ALIVE in the first place;

    If we follow your "advice" of dealing with terrorists and countries who vowed to WIPE US
    OFF from the map with "LOVE",we'd be DEAD.Period.

    I did NOT preach any "systematic and wholesale slaughter of palestinians".
    The easily verifiable FACT,is that THEY are the ones who crave for doing exactly what you've said
    against US,Jews.

    Talking about ETHNIC CLEANSING,could you do yourself a little favor and
    research about the Jews who were EXPELLED from the Arab countries after
    Israel gained its independence?
    And HOW do you explain the FACT that 20% of Israeli population is MUSLIM and with political rights?

    According to you,Israel should send a BMW Z4 to Hamas's Khaled Meshaal in
    Damascus...A nice pair of loudspeakers to Ahmadinejad...a Giorgio Armani
    perfume to Bin Laden...a ROLEX to Al-Zawahiri...
    And,voilá,Israel finally will be LOVED by the muslims,there will be peace!!!!

    OH,LORD KUMBAYA...

    Frankly,Sir,you are an IDIOT.
    Look at your mirror and you'll be convinced
    at once of that.

    I spoke about ethnic cleansing because you mentioned your conversion to believing that this is the right way to deal with Muslims and the Palestinians in Israel. You wrote that you agreed with the Serbs. Was that just hot air? If so go vent somewhere else. If you say it, I wil take you seriously.
    It is also time to grow up and keep our testosterone in check. I never once proposed that Israel not defend herself. You may not like it, but the chief defense that Israel has had has been her moral position. She has acted in her own defense against unbelievable odds and implacable opposition. If she were to stoop to the vile actions of ethnic cleansing that you propose when you want to vent, Israel would be a mockery to herself and betray her greatest weapon. The offspring of Holocaust survivors would have taken up the Nazi mentality and given her opposition an unlooked for victory. Contemplate that if you can.

    You needed to have an enemy in me and so you constructed one. Very poor. Try combatting ideas and you will not go off on these silly tangents. I am going to ignore your facts of the Muslim population in Israel and any other fact pertaining to Israel treating Palestinians humanely, because I already know them and do not dispute them. You hoped to get away with spouting off at the mouth and calling for ethnic cleansing. I point out to you that you are an arm chair terrorist when you call for a horror that you have never experienced. If you ever truly were responsible for the death of children and innocent people you would not be so quick to play Rambo.

    Like it or not, the identity of Israel is wrapped up in being just because it is wrapped up in God. Your ignorance of the Bible history and prophecy concerning Israel is not universal. It may surprise you to know that the original Zionists and their sympathizers in Harry Truman's presidency were convinced of the truth of the Bible . They believed that this people who had been dispersed for over 2500 years would come back into their Bibilical land because God said so in the Bible. Harry Truman had learned this bit of Bible from his mother. So Harry Truman, against the advice of his top aids, recognized Israel and we became the first country on earth to recognize Israel. Kumbaya. Without Harry Truman's mother, a convinced Christian and believer that Israel would return to the land, Israel might have had a president who was indifferent to her fate. Kumbaya. When Israel was attacked from all sides during the '67 war, all military analysts believed that she didn't stand a chance . At the end of the '67 war Israel's borders were exactly the same as her Biblical borders, just as predicted in the Bible. Kumbaya.
    The next time you want to tangle with me you will have to do a litle history reading. Suffering has never entitled any people to behave like animals in revenge. Israel has resisted this and God willing she will continue to resist the cries from hot heads like you to go and shoot in every direction. Check yourself
    Bronwyn is a woman's name by the way . And my intelligence is not written on my face. My words and deeds announce my character and so do yours.

    I did not know you are a girl.My bad.

    "When Israel was attacked from all sides during the '67 war"

    That's not an accurate remark.Israel attacked FIRST unleashing
    its Air Force against Arab airfields, in order to destroy their aircraft
    on the ground.

    You've depicted the 1948/1949 Independence War scenario.

    Oh,boy...thank you for your honest opinion about us.

    "we (America) became the first country on earth to recognize Israel"

    That's right.But this wasn't for free,mind you.Nelson Rockefeller offered a "deal"
    to the Jewish leadership by giving them two choices:

    A) A State,recognized by America by also delivering the votes from South America;

    OR

    B)Revenge against the Nazis who received refuge in America after WWII,INVITED
    by the U.S.Government,including WAR CRIMINALS.Israel would have to NOT pursue
    them and the Nazis in South America;

    "The next time you want to tangle with me "

    I won't.

    Just another example of the principle"Muslims can't be trusted".
    All this diplomacy will come to naught if the other side is certifiably mad.
    Fortunately the Israelis are well aware of this.
