| Shin Bet: Tons of explosives arrive in Gaza | |
| 2009-03-30 | |
According to the Israeli official, 45 tons of raw materials for the production of weapons, 22 tons of standard explosives and dozens of rockets, mortar shells, and anti-aircraft missiles have been brought to Gaza since the end of the war. He also admitted that the three-week military operation failed to weaken Palestinian factions saying that "Organizations other than Hamas are pursuing plans to kidnap [Israeli] soldiers and to carry out terror attacks from Sinai into Israel as well as in the West Bank," Israeli daily Ha'aretz reported. With the aim of halting rocket-firings and disarming Palestinians fighters, Israel launched an all-out war against Gaza in December and killed more than 1,300 people mostly civilians. Tel Aviv claimed that it had succeeded in achieving its goals after it declared a ceasefire in June. It was not the first time that an Israeli official admitted to the Operation Cast Lead's failure. Earlier the Israeli security service had announced that the arms transfer into the Gaza had begun even while the military operation against the territory was still underway. | |

| #2 There are NO "civilians" in Gaza. There are only terrorists and enablers. The only ones I feel any bit of pity for are the children raised in such an atmosphere of hate. Unfortunately, by the time they're 10 it's too late to rescue them. The rest of the population should be marched into the sea, to wade or swim to Egypt if they can. I'd also start chumming for sharks NOW, prior to the engagement, so there will be an adequate number available. |
