IAF strikes Tunnels used for military ops; Egypt fires on Paleos

Gaza residents breach Egypt border as IAF bombs 40 smuggling tunnels

Gaza residents on Sunday breached the border fence with Egypt in several places and hundreds have crossed the frontier prompting Egyptian border guards to open fire, said officials and witnesses on both sides of the border.
Perhaps the Egyptians are well aware of the unsavory reputation of the Gazooks?
A resident of the Gaza Strip side of the border, Fida Kishta, said that Egyptian border guards opened fire to drive back the Palestinians. Residents have also commandeered a bulldozer to open new breaches.
Funny how it's a big problem when the Israelis drive bulldozers through stuff but not when Paleos do it ...
The border breach came shortly after Israel Defense Forces aircraft bombed more than 40 tunnels linking the blockaded Gaza Strip with Egypt's Sinai desert.

"The air force just attacked over 40 tunnels found on the Gaza side of the border. Those tunnels, we believe, were used for smuggling weapons, explosives and sometimes people," an IDF spokeswoman told reporters.

#20  Mubarak has the same opinion of Hamas that he has of the Islamic Brotherhood. Can't imagine why ...

#19  Everyone turns against the Paleos

Assuming anyone was turned towards them in the first place.

Whereas Saturday, the Israeli bombers struck with missiles, Sunday, dropped CBU-24 bunker busters which detonate 30 minutes after penetration on the Philadelphi tunnels

Gave them 30 minutes to get out, eh? I wonder if even the US would have given them that much slack. I don't wonder if the Paleos would have given the Israelis that much slack had the tables been turned.

#14  FedEx has already notified me to expect 2 of their trucks at the loading dock early tomorrow morning.

I've called the third shift for the Industrial-Strength Popcorn Popper™ back from vacation early. Nobody's complaining about it, either - they all recognize the importance of our mission.

We'll be ready when the trucks arrive. Go IAF!

#13  Fedex has space allocated for Rantburgers all over the world for popcorn to supply their needs. Barbara---expect a truckload of Fedex boxes coming to your house for orders.

This is it, folks. Full tilt boogie popcorn mission.

#9  It's not Palestinians in general but Hamas in particular that the Egyptian government is squeezing. Mubarak has made several public statements lately about the danger that Iran poses to the Middle East.
