Israel launches Gaza Strip air strikes

www.bbc.co.uk

Israel has launched air strikes against targets in the Gaza Strip, reports say.

Palestinian witnesses reported numerous explosions in Gaza City, and several people were reported to have been injured.

The strikes came after a rocket fired from the coastal enclave by militants earlier on Friday hit the Israeli city of Ashkelon on the Mediterranean coast.

Well folks - could this be the beginning of the next middle-eastern war?

It's been building for months now, and all it takes is a flashpoint like this. All of the chess pieces are in position, the rhetoric is fresh, and the politicians ready.

I'm wondering what the fleet in the gulf of Aden and the Red Sea is going to do? Also, will Turkey come to the aid of Lebanon if things properly kick off?

Does anyone else have any information on these events?

I found this

Palestinians said Israeli aircraft targeted a training camp used by the Islamist group Hamas, which controls Gaza. Medical workers said four people were lightly injured from debris.

Her is another link to CNN
CNN has a video on there site
It sad to say but one almost gets jaded to this stuff.

any reports on captured idf personal ?....No..i guess not

Well, so far what's going on isn't too uncommon.
It will take more than Israel performing a few airstrikes for it to progress past any of the previous back and forth between the two nations.

You will actualy find the heroic Isreali military were retaliating after this evil act that threatend the Zionist nation:

Gaza children 'break' kite flying record

Those idiots in Gaza need to quit their rocket attacks on Israel before they end up getting their stupid asses kicked severely once again.

Doubt it. Just people fighting over misinterpreted scripture again.

Let them burn for their ignorance. I should love them. I do. But the word Jesus used was Agape. That does not mean love like a hippie. It means love in the means of desiring the best possible solution for a situation and its people. This is a half century old situation where both sides desire war and conflict. Truly, the best thing for them to do is destroy themselves. When they both live in rubble they will be equal and realize it.

But this is like cavemen versus F16s. Not likely a war with both sides destroyed. Far more likely a war of genocide.

I actually have begun favoring a nuclear Iran for this very reason. The Tesla theory of war is not perfect. But it certainly is valid for this situation.

Indeed it is my friend...
Also it is when it threatens the long standing world record held by Israel for breaking the most UN demands and laws.

Building a state based off poor understanding of scriptures inevitably leads to poor choices and destruction as Israel has shown all too often.

reply to post by Gorman91


True.... But they will never learn from this though. I mean Gods chosen children can never do wrong because it sais so in a book

reply to post by Master Shen long


No it does not. The whole Bible says quite simply Israel fails at life, as does all humanity. The whole point of Jesus is because Israel sucked.

Their poor understanding of their own religious texts gives clear reason to their poor choices and actions.


The very notion of Israel is affront to what God promised. The land was promised to Abraham and his descendants. Jews Christians and Muslims consider themselves children of Abraham. The land is for all.

This is in repsonse to the grad rockets and mortors that were fired earlier today. Not the start of something big, just the Tit-for-tat repsonse that Israel said they would give everytime they fire the rockets.

Very simply, no it won't be. Unless this air strike and rocket attack is any different to the other 10 incidents over the last two years, nothing more will come out of it.

This happens all the time. Gaza idiots launch a rocket/rockets, often hitting nothing than open dirt, and Israeli idiots do a few airstrikes. Very run of the mill for these psycho's over there...

It's going to take a lot more than this to inflame the whole middle-east in conflict.

"All of the chess pieces are in position, the rhetoric is fresh, and the politicians ready. " I understand statements like this because yeah things are unstable in the region, but statements like this are said every day on ATS and nothing ever happens.

There are no chess pieces, just instability that will eventually give way to that racket of war. But not yet

Yeah, just remember [the home made fireworks] and forget the occupation, the blockade, the expansion of settlements, the apartheid treatment of Palestinian, the war crimes the massacre, the destruction of Palestinian homes, the extinction of Palestinian villages etc. etc. etc.

Yupp..

The problem is the [home made fire works] being thrown towards Israel.

Problem solved.

[Sarcasm intended]

The UN gave Israel that land so let the Palestinians fight the UN. The occupation argument= FAIL.

The UN gave Israel that land? What land?
And a source too please, it would be great.

Why can't the Israelites keep their hands from being soaked with blood and stay within their own borders. If this is not stopping anytime soon, the only solution is to wipe them off this planet so that there is peace once and for all. F@c&ing Israel bullies.

Actually we are also collaborators once we don't voice out against those acts of evil. There doesn't seem to be any authority on this planet to report or complain to that not already is a part of this axis of evil.

It's a slow awakening of the masses....good morning Vietnam!!
