Strange...because Israel has put about a dozen good strikes onto Gaza tonight.

If the captures prove to be true, then all hell will break loose soon enough. Hamas claims Israeli jet shoot-down; report of Israeli soldiers captured

I will be leaving now. Its 5 am here and in Gaza. Sunrise in one hour.

Goodnight. Hope to see you return tomorrow

Just came across this video on another thread; hadn't seen it for a long time and forgot about it.
Ron Paul speaking about Israel and Hamas at the time of the 2008/09 action in Gaza.
Hopefully it will be seen as relevant to this thread and it is short at about 3 min.

"Ron Paul - Israel Created Hamas 01-09-09"

Senior Hamas leaders: No truce with Israel

Well...this is interesting:

Hamas deputy leader Abu Marzouq on Friday rejected the possibility of a ceasefire with Israel, according to Palestinian news agency Ma'an, saying "there are many calls for truce but it will not be soon."

Likewise, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri confirmed to Ma'an Friday that the terror group had dismissed overtures from "several mediators" offering to broker an end to hostilities.

Abu Zuhri reportedly said that Hamas "received proposals through several international and regional parties to broker a truce, but Hamas believes the Israeli occupation is not serious about reaching a ceasefire agreement."

EXTREME Air strike on Gaza. Well over 15 explosions in that one pass... Jet's still sound in the area...

Looks like those strikes hit close to the downtown area of Gaza. Lots of smoke plumes now. Power went out in spots reuters.livestation.com...

Senior members of the military have told The Times that they expect to invade this weekend.

Looks like there's a bunch of Israeli soldiers on standby to be ready to go inside of an hour.

They like their planes! At least they aren't using White Phosphorus this time around. They used a lot of that in 2009...made in the good old USA.

Apparently, according to twitter, that last airstrike was targeting a government HQ of a sort:
