Barak seeks 75,000 reservists for possible Gaza operation.

As government mulls a ground operation, defense minister seeks to increase cabinet's approval of reservists from 30,000; thus far, 16,000 draft orders issued to reserves.

This is shaping up to be a VERY big ground operation in Gaza.

It seems Israel is finally going to do what they should have done long ago. Get rid of Hamas.

With those troop number's I agree.They intend to wipe out Hamas.Can Israel even afford that many troops on one flank?This is going to be going on for awhile.

Since there is so many pages i don't know if this has been posted or not. But on twitter different people are saying that Israeli soldiers have been shielding Arab children from the rockets.

I found this update on topsy.

Ouch...30k to 70k...Looks like if they go for it, then this time it will be an all out invasion then.

Rockets from the direction of Egypt confirmed:

So not actually from Egypt themselves - from "terrorists" in the Sinai.

That must be horrid if you live near to hamas units,through no fault of your own.
Imagine the fear of your children being the next accidental victims of the war.
The same for the poor Israeli family who died at the table in their home.
Should never have happened.

Incomprehensible-it was never meant to be like this people.

Like it or not-we are all brothers and sisters,and this killing is wrong on both sides.
Apologies for possible thread derail.
But its true.

Welcome back.

Rockets fired at Tel Aviv & Jerusalem today.

Lots of rockets hitting Gaza

Various VIPs claiming they will visit Gaza "soon"

Reservist call up is now at 75,000

Hamas is claiming to be making their own rockets with a range of 75-80km

Hamas as dones

Lots of smack talk from both sides.

Dude, getting quite tired of reading your Israeli cheer leading on ATS, so how about conforming to this particular thread policy of keeping your hate to yourself. This thread is for news updates not opinions, for peeps who are sick of the usual zionist/hamas apologists pushing the useful information to the sidelines. There are plenty of other threads where your rhetoric is most welcome. Thanks kindly.

If this turns into an all out war, and Egypt backs Palestine, will the US still support Israel? This could get very bad very quick. I feel sorry for the people in countries where they had revolutions...all that work and for what? Nothing...

no.

Tweekies are going for $100.00 a case on e-bay!!

Still can't find anything on F16 shoot down either!! I'll keep looking.

A lot of bombs just dropped extremely close to harry fear. The door behind him could be seen swaying open and shut after each bomb hit.

Also report of a mosqee being bombed.

Huge explosions near Harry's location, made the doors in his room actually move. I am amazed at how calm he is remaining.

He took a moment to let everyone listen to drone(s) flying overhead.

This is not a joke. This is a serious situation that is going on. Innocent people on both sides are being killed. But yet you think it's funny when it's not.
