Surprise awaits Israel -- Al-Quds brigades

2006-05-19

An Israeli military spokesman told Israeli radio on Thursday that six Palestinian missiles were launched where one exploded near a strategic facility. The source added the other five exploded near a military base south of Israel where splinters reached a soldiers compound with no casualties recorded.

Al-Quds brigades the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement earlier today claimed responsibility of bombing Al-Majdal town south of Israel with four missiles. "A surprise is awaiting Israel," a paragraph mentioned in the brigades statement. The statement affirmed that this bombing is retaliation against bombing Palestinian targets in the last few days.

#13 LH - voice of maturity until they actually hit something with a bad weapon. F*ck em - rapid and sweeping anti-battery fire. Explain here's how it's going to be and Paleos that love their homes will stop them or suffer th econsequences. Since everyone is armed, shouldn't be an issue

#12 If they got a hold of one of them, I'd be more worried if I was Palestinian then an Israeli.
"Hey, what does this do, Achmed?"
Gaza Depopulated. Film at eleven...

#11 What? Are they actually going to hit something they aim at?

Maybe something nasty from their Iranian and/or Syrian friends, something chemical or a dirty bomb ....

#10 It's just that from an American point of view, I think an overwhelming retaliation by Israel would be enormously gratifying LiberalHawk. Especially to some of the older RBurgers that can remember some of the shitty things the paleos have done over the years.

#9 Israel will not commit genocide. It wont cause Jews dont do that, and cause it would be suicidal. Enough, drop it.

#7 Oh, and if it isn't clear - why they die of thirst. GAME OVER!

#6 What it would achieve is to make it clear to the Pals that they are truely a defeated people and exist only at the whim of the state of Israel.
They NEED an electric shock to their brains to make this clear to them.

#5 Well-thought, and level-headed, as always.

#4 obviously conventional superiority is of limited (though not zero) usefulness in a counterinsurgency, even more so in a complicated political game like the territories.

But why whine about it? The jokers from the terr groups launch missiles that miss, Islamic Jihad is being steadily ground to nothing, the seperation barrier is on its way to completion, the Israeli economy is growing (a huge investment from Warren Buffett the other day, investments from Intel, etc) Hamas and Fatah have their hands around each others throats, Jordan is cooperating against Hamas - why endanger this by getting too heavy handed? What significant thing would be achieved by an electricity cutoff, or a water cutoff, that isnt already being achieved?

#3 Shut off the water.

#2 Not if the IDF choose again to strike at an *empty* soccer field used for sending qassams as symbolical retaliation, or bomb a few *empty* rockets factories (which function thanks to electricity graciously provided by Israel anyway).
What's the use of having overhelming superiority, if you don't use it decisively?

#1 These guys are pathetic. They launch oversized skyrockets and then whine when a real military force responds with real weapons. The surprise awaiting Israel is the pleasure of a target-rich environment.
