#1 From the newswires: Around 30 Casualties in Attack on Israeli Army Post (12 minutes ago Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo!)
GAZA (Reuters) - A blast by Palestinian militants under an Israeli military post in the southern Gaza Strip (news - web sites) on Sunday caused about 30 casualties, rescue workers said. It was not immediately clear how many were killed or wounded in the blast, caused when Palestinian militants detonated explosives in a tunnel dug under an Israeli military post in the southern Gaza Strip. Scores of soldiers were trapped in the rubble, rescue workers said.

Classic mining operation. Pretty impressive, overall. Tough for the Israelis and a one-time- only success for the Palestinians, but impressive nonetheless.

#3 Fox sez reports are conflicting, but either one or none killed, 5 injured is what they have now.

Of course, by now, Al Aribiya and Al Jizz will have it at 10 KIA / 50 WIA and Sharon resigning himself to dhimmitude.

#4 I wonder how long it took for the Palestinians to dig this tunnel. I thought the Israelis had seismic detectors to keep tabs on this kind of thing.

#5 The jihadee death cultists are on yet another rampage across the entire Near & Middle East.

Israel needs to take very strong counter-terrorist measures, including maybe digging huge trenches filled with water, coupled with the existing national security walls & fences which have been extremely effective in keeping the insane cultists from Israeli soil.

What protective actions would any another nation be forced to enact if confronted with mentally unbalanced zombies which sole purpose is a ritual of death & chaos.

Those national leaders within the civilized world, still sitting on the political fence, better wake up to the fact 'jihadism' is indeed an alarming dangerous cult which is threatening the very existance of the free world, and treated as such, a cult.

#7 Why is it taking Israel 50 years to get rid of bunch of jihadis with nothing but light arms and stones?
