Israeli tanks roll into southern Gaza
2006-07-12
Israeli tanks and troops moved into southern Gaza early Wednesday in a new phase of a two-week offensive aimed at militants holding a captured soldier and firing rockets, Palestinians and the military said. The Israeli military confirmed its forces were operating in southern Gaza, but gave no details.

On Tuesday, Israeli leaders ordered the army to expand the Gaza offensive, moving into areas of the territory they have not yet entered. Palestinians said they saw Israeli bulldozers leveling farmland and tanks moving across the border near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. The military ordered Palestinian security to leave their forward positions in the area. The Israelis have not entered Khan Younis during the current offensive. Before Tuesday, Israeli forces had entered southern and northern Gaza and have approached Gaza City.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his defense minister, Amir Peretz, ordered the new incursions into Gaza after Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said Monday he would not free the captive soldier, 19-year-old Cpl. Gilad Shalit, security officials said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the operation. Mashaal called Shalit a prisoner of war and demanded a prisoner swap — which Olmert has ruled out.

The left has only one goal, and they can't formulate a plan for the greater War on Terror unless their one goal is achieved. Bush

#5  Anyone noticed that the deafening silence of the nazi-left about the deliberate staving perpetrated against Black sudanese populations, or in fact their deafening silence about anyone else that those whose goal is to exterminate the Jews?

"There are shortages of food, fuel and essential needs of Palestinian citizens," he told his Cabinet, calling on the United Nations, Arab League, Muslim countries and the rest of the international community to help.


And we are supposed to cry about it?

#3  Everything that comes out of the paleomedia machines and its western proxies (I watch lci's reports on that, and it's infuriating, really, and it's not the worst coverage...) is a lie. They're all playing the propaganda war to the hilt, paleos and accomplices, in true subversive leftist fashion.

The poor kid's dead! Admit it already. The only thing the Paleos have to give back is a mouldering corpse.

Plow Gaza under and plant some vineyards.
