(This is huge, could be the pivotal point in this confrontation.)

Yes, any posters who find links to this report- share please.

lots of air strikes now. and harry just said "AL JEZZERA" said jet shot down and confirms...

Maybe this is the terms of cease-fire?

An Israel pilot.

Reports flowing in all day of a down aircraft.

Islamic Jihad captured the downed pilot from breaking information.

Has anybody thought of the fact, of how exactly was the plane bought down, what weapon was used, as I understand that Hamas does not have any SAMs.

Can we have some links please?

They have some DYI capable of going 75Km.

Not quite current events but the history that lead up to current events.

But to bring a aircraft down, the missiles must have homing and tracking capability, far too suffisticated for DIY. And if Iran supplied SAMs then Israel does not have air supiriority and thats a game changer.

edit on 16/11/12 by asen_y2k because: (no reason given)

I posted a tweet earlier that stated they were finding weapons brought in from Libya in Gaza. I wondered if they could have some of the SAMs missing from Libya. I was told all of that was a lie. So I dropped in in favor of no in-thread drama.

It's actually Hamas, according to Harry fear.

Hamas execute an alledged collaborator on the street in front of men, women and children.

Of course, we all know Palestinian's are not so callous.

Hamas targets Jerusalem with rocket; Israeli F-16 may be down with pilot held captive in Gaza

It's apparently two IDF soldiers who were captured according to AFP

Clearly this is being coordinated with the Egyptians.

Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhoods proxy in Israel. If Hamas is in danger of being removed from power, it becomes EXTREMELY LIKELY that the Egyptian Islamist's will get involved.

It's not about 'saving the people of Gaza'. They are nothing more than political pawns of the Islamist ideology. The Muslim Brotherhood plans on taking over Israel, on establishing the capital of a new Islamic caliphate in Jerusalem.

Hamas couldn't be anymore evil in what they're causing for their people. They know their rocket shooting is the cause of this debacle, yet, they will continue doing it, continue denying in official statements that this is the cause of the "death of innocent children". As if it were somehow justified for Israel NOT to respond, and to just incur rocket attacks at their city from a rogue state from the south which has no respect, no rudimentary level of decency, or legitimacy, as a ruling government; it's just a radical, bellicose entity that vocalizes their intent to destroy the Jewish state.

Israel seems to be preparing for a big-time ground campaign. Hopefully, this does not devolve into a situation in which the Egyptians can claim 'humanitarian intervention' to save the Palestinians. But you know once Israel enters Gaza, Hamas terrorists are going to be shooting from apartment buildings, probably telling the families to 'huddle up around the window' so as to maximize civilian casualties.

This is also a propaganda war, thanks to twitter and other social media. Hence, Israel will be DOCUMENTING each battle. They have hundreds of these camera men stationed within each unit. Since these are the tactics Hamas resorts to, Israel can justify themselves by later on showing what Hamas terrorists are doing.

These people are the devil incarnate. Not only wanting to destroy a Jewish state which wants nothing more than to be left alone, but avidly seeks to endanger the lives of palestinians - children especially (since they are 'rich' in propaganda value) in order to justify subsequent actions.

Bang on.

I've arranged the tweets oldest first for clarity:

14m
Hamas in #Gaza says it has just killed a Palestinian "collaborator" and "spy".
-----------
13m
There must be many Palestinians in #Gaza providing intelligence to Israel. Israel seems to know where everyone is when it wants to strike.
----------
11m
To hit a Palestinian fighter travelling through busy streets in a specific car or on back of a motorbike you need inside intel. #Gaza
