| Report: Hamas planning another border breach |
| 2008-04-15 |
| Well, if true, this could get interesting... Hamas is planning to blow up the border with Egypt in Rafah for the second time, the Egyptian daily Al-Ahram reported Monday. So the Gypos know they're coming? Too bad for Hamas. Brave Jihadi Warriors don't do too well when you know they're coming. The paper quoted "reliable Palestinian sources" as saying that Hamas activists were planning to fire mortar shells at Egyptian forces during the first stage of the operation. After that they intend to fire directly at the Egyptian troops, and ultimately destroy Egyptian battlements with explosives, some of them planted in tunnels beneath the guard posts. Meanwhile, the Hamas intends to breach the border with Egypt and allow the general populace to flood into the Sinai. The sources also told the paper that the organization had planted explosives along four kilometers of the border. According to the plan, the operation would be assisted by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the sources said. Actually, that's not a border breach, that's an invasion. And the Pali's Muslim "brothers" seem to have no problems killing them by the thousands when they forget their place and get out of line. The killing of Egyptian soldiers with live ammunition has been sanctioned by Muslim clerics in a special fatwa issued by Hamas on Friday, the report said. Oh, well. Then I guess it's okay then... |

| #6 May I have a bowl now while we wait, Barbara? It will be interesting if Hamas goes through with this, and equally interesting if they try and fail. |

| #2 This would be incredibly stupid and self-destructive on Hamas's part, which prolly means the clock is already running. Shallow end of the gene pool self-draining |

| #1 I vote for the Israelis to employ the toothpaste maneuver. When the Palis blow the wall, Israel should start the tanks rolling from the North and squeeze the whole lot out the opening. When they get to the breach, seal it up and leave what's left to whoever is still around. Rinse and repeat. |
