IDF sends text message to Gaza mobile phones: 'The next phase is on the way' 972mag.com... … #IsraelTerroristState #GazaUnderAttack


edit to add: from the link above: 972mag.com...

"During the 2008-9 Israeli military assault on Gaza, the army sent thousands of similar messages to mobile phones in Gaza. But according to several friends and acquaintances who were there, the messages were often either false alarms or designed to sow panic. “What do you do if you receive a message warning you to go a safer place if you are already in the safest place in Gaza, or if you have nowhere to hide?” one friend asked rhetorically.

This same woman — a journalist — said that often the text messages would warn of impending bombardments that did not happen, in a sick version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

Harry Fear now reporting tanks starting to move into the Gaza strip also with a report the IDF has green lighted an invasion.

Also reports of Hamas having SAMs to fight the F16s and drones

Comments like these are not fun. Cheering for the deaths of others makes you look pathetic and lame. Please keep it to yourself. Thank you.

From Haaretz feed:

"Rockets fired from direction of Egypt toward Eshkol Regional Council"

uh-oh.

No further news on that yet.....so much conflicted info around.

Could the mods please take care of the hate that people are posting, seems to be getting way off the topic of updates only.

It was on there Twitter feed. The link just takes you to their coverage of the events - and that particular snippet is on there (as I quoted) with no other information provided. Basically, take it with a pinch of salt for now.

Back from work...Can anyone give me a brief rundown of what I missed since 5:30am Eastern time?
