Gaza militants fire dozens of mortars into Israel

Gerald · 03-19-11, 12:43 PM

Palestinian militants in Gaza have fired dozens of missiles into southern Israel in what appears to be their heaviest such barrage in two years.

About 50 mortars were fired - two Israelis were hurt, Israel says.

Israeli tanks later shelled targets in the coastal strip, wounding at least five people, Palestinian officials say.

Hamas back to their usual game...

I wonder how much of it is motivated by the fact that both in the region and around the world, public attention is mostly elsewhere right now.

It is true, glances directed entirely clear in other parts, which is understandable

I would say their motivation at this moment was the siezure of the arms shipment.
It is a regular pattern.

50 mortar shells = two people hurt?

Their accuracy can't exactly be good either that or half their mortars don't actually explode.

Just so long as they don't go whinging if Israel decide enough is enough and retaliate heavily.

Israel has probably had enough for a long time ago, but as the world's eyes are fixed on their way, they will choose to think, a low profile currently

I'm not so sure....the worlds eyes are most likely looking elsewhere atm and a swift surgical strike would be completed before heads and gazes could change direction.

For every projectile they fire, take one square-kilometer of Palestinian territory, kick all Palestinians out, and build Israeli settlements there.

They either stop firing - or they don't and by that drive themselves out of the place.

After those two animals massacred that Jewish family two weeks ago, they already did something like that: no big strike was the answer, but the permission to build another one- or twohundred settlement buildings, I think.

That maybe so, but your quaint version of nuttyness with aliens doesn't stretch as far as Skybird with his living room manual taken straight from Heydrichs office.

I always find it funny that when I prod them on "well, what's the solution? genocide on muslims?", everyone immediately denies and calls the accusations of advocating a "final solution" exaggarated, unfair and otherwise just smear tactics. And yet here we have it on record... can I rest my case yet?

Yes, too many sheep herders and not enough sheep. I also wonder what, they were thinking when they cut down the last tree on Easter Island.
