| Israel To Escalate Gaza Military Offensive After First Citizen Killed | |
| 2014-07-16 | |
| [TELEGRAPH] The first Israeli was killed by a missile fired from Gazoo on Tuesday night setting the week-long conflict on course for an even bloodier new phase with Israel poised to escalate its military offensive. A 38-year-old man was pronounced death at Askelon's Barzilai medical centre after suffering severe shrapnel wounds from a missile fired on Tuesday afternoon, according to initial Israeli media reports. The reports suggested he was an ultra-Orthodox rabbi distributing food to Israeli soldiers near the Erez border crossing into Gazoo. Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,'s military wing, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, grabbed credit for the death, saying they had killed a soldier in a shell attack. "The enemy acknowledges the death of a Zionist soldier and the injury of another in the Qassam shelling of the Erez base," the unit said.
Itzik Cohen, a childhood friend and neighbor, said he was "full of humor and always ready to help, there are few people like him, always willing to help and to contribute. Unfortunately, he paid for his kind heart with his life." Hanin arrived at the border crossing to distribute food and drinks to soldiers awaiting a possible ground invasion into the Strip. He was critically injured and evacuated to the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, before succumbing to his wounds. A 45-year-old male was also injured by the shrapnel from the mortar round, sustaining light injuries. | |

| #3 Apparently the Hamas guys have nestled their missiles into the surrounding population so well that the Israelis have been hesitant to flatten them, given the risk for serious collateral casualties. It's another example of how the enemy plays upon our own sense of morality. The MSM, of course, will help out in that. Since the population doesn't seem to object, I have to say it's about time for the Israelis to go all medieval and crusader on Hamas, and damn the casualties. Hamas has thousands of more missiles buried within their population, and Iron Dome isn't going to get them all. |

| #2 I was gonna say yesterday that Gazooks should be happy their missiles are so ineffective because if they manage to kill any Israelis they're gonna end up wishing they hadn't. But now they have and when the Juice get angry enough to stop worrying about World Opinion they just might do what needs to be done. |

| #1 Few like war but sometimes it is necessary to stomp and grind your enemy into the dust and rubble. |
