Was it ever REALLY off the agenda?
"Major IDF operation in Gaza back on the agenda"
"The rocket barrages against communities inside Israel and the Israel Defense Forces operations in the Gaza Strip that have left at least 16 Palestinians dead over the past three days all point in one direction: Following many weeks of being kept on ice, the likelihood of a major military operation in the Gaza Strip is once more at the forefront....
The apparent change in recent weeks does not only stem from the fact that the prime minister has managed to survive the Winograd trial. It is mainly linked to developments along the border between the Strip and Egypt....
Gee, and CUI BONO, readers?
Funny how things always seem to work to the advantage of Israel, huh?
The Hamas operation which brought down the wall greatly impressed the IDF.... What Hamas managed to achieve is a fundamental change in the situation in the area.
Why would the breach in the wall expedite an Israeli operation? Because the absence of stability contributes to escalation and the loss of control. The action has bolstered the confidence of Hamas' military wing. This operational success may lead them to take more risks.
On Wednesday, the Hamas representative in Tehran threatened Israel with a wave of suicide bombings inside the country. To this must be added the situation in Rafah. While smuggling had previously been rampant, the absence of any border controls in recent weeks appears to have enabled Hamas to intensify its effort to bolster its arsenal. At the same time, terrorist organizations have managed to send a number of teams into Sinai, with the aim of carrying out attacks in Israel....
A major operation... may be inevitable. The current steps being taken - continuing the economic blockade, which has been broken by Hamas; limiting the amount of electricity being supplied; limited ground operations ¬ are all considered essential before a final decision on embarking on a massive operation.
So it is WHEN, not IF!
And all these things LEADING to an OPERATION, huh?
Sure isn't the way the AmeriKan MSM reported it!
What would a massive operation include? Israel... will opt to deal with the regime from a distance - relying on an air operation....
What, are they going to flatten Gaza and kill every living thing with air power?
NaZionist WAR CRIMINALS!!!
In cabinet discussions, senior IDF officers have made it clear that they need time in such an operation. They stressed that there is no point in carrying out a major initiative if they are not allowed to carry out the necessary search and destroy missions and arrests in the areas the army will bring under its control, following the initial offensive...."
Iz-ray-HELL makes me want to fucking puke, readers.
UN if you allow this to happen and don't sanction those bastards, fuck you!
