Israel launches air strikes in Gaza: Hamas

GAZA (Reuters) - Israel launched air strikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday striking tunnels along the border with Egypt and an abandoned building, Hamas officials said.

The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the strikes which came a day after two explosive devices said to have originated in the Hamas-ruled Gaza territory washed up on Israel's coastline.

Well, this isn't the all out war with Lebanon / Syria (Hezbollah) that we've all been watching for, but it might be their foot in the door for increasing air strikes.

Hopefully white phosphorus will not play large part in the air strikes. From the article it sounds like the strikes were so far bunker busters to blow up tunnels, and an "abandoned building".

Guess we'll have to watch this to see how it progresses... And I pray for the safety of all the innocent civilians.

Denying any people food, water, electricity and medicines can be called an Evil Action, no matter who is doing it. And I refuse to be dragged into the argument over who is in the right and who is wrong in the scenario.

People are people first, religions and culture are second. These men, women and children need the world's help to live since they are being denied what they need to do so.

Why hasn't the U.N. begun an air lift of much needed supplies to these people as they did in Berlin?

didnt read anything, but 1 of my b6 brothers is over there...he is an A hole
...wonder what'll happen next?

Fingers crossed that there's no civilian casulties from this. Israel knows fine well there more than weapons getting transported through these tunnels. And air strikes on tunnels or suspected tunnels could be messy.

You know the really sad thing is that the people of Egypt are completely against the wall that's being built. Only the government of Egypt is in alliance with Israel / US govt, but what their people think is completely irrelevant.

I'd like to thank you for putting the facts straight.

There are people on this site, who don't believe it's a open air prison.

TY

It looks like Israel is trying to destroy the tunnels the Palestinians build (their only source of food, clean water, fuel, and YES light weapons which they need)..

Basically, Israel wants to make sure the Palestinians are deprived of their living necessities in order to make killing the Palestinians easier..

Shame on Israel, and shame on the world to not speak up against this tyranny!
