"Major Israeli offensive in Gaza seems likely; Olmert says step needed to stop militant rockets" by Jeffrey Heller, Reuters | June 7, 2008
JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said yesterday that a major military operation into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip appears more likely.
Hours after troops killed two Palestinian gunmen during an incursion into the Gaza Strip, Olmert said Israel might have to carry out a full-scale offensive in the territory....
Been waiting on it.
Israel yesterday pounded militant positions in Gaza using planes, tanks, and ground troops.
And how quiet AmeriKa's MSM kept it!
Egypt has been unable to broker a truce to curb rocket and mortar attacks by militants on Israel and Israeli raids in the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by Islamist Hamas. The group seized the territory from secular Fatah a year ago.
It just never stops. They won the elections so they seized nothing.

Hamas said Olmert's comments were a sign that Israel had received US permission to carry out actions in Gaza.
"Olmert's threats are proof that the US has once again given . . . a green light to launch a new round in the war against Gaza," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said.
Or we were TOLD that is what they are going to do -- whether we like it or not!
Olmert, who is enmeshed in a corruption scandal that could force him to step down, has faced mounting pressure at home to launch a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip....
Israel has tightened a blockade on the Gaza Strip and often conducts air strikes and raids into the territory....
But it gets a "ho-hum" in the Zionist press!
An Israeli army spokeswoman said forces operating close to the border east of Gaza City yesterday spotted a group of armed men and fired at them. One was killed immediately and another died later of his wounds, Palestinian medics said.
An Israeli soldier was also wounded in the exchange, the Israeli spokeswoman said.
Whatever.
I don't believe Israeli accounts about anything anymore because they are such damn liars!
In an air strike earlier yesterday, a missile destroyed an outpost belonging to Hamas militants, critically wounding one gunman. Bystanders were also hurt, Hamas said. A second air strike was aimed at a building in Gaza City suspected of being a munitions workshop. The spokeswoman said the missile failed to hit its target.
Then WHERE DID IT LAND?!
In the house the kids are looking at at the top of this post?
The attacks were launched in response to crossborder mortar fire on an Israeli industrial plant near the Gaza frontier Thursday, which killed a factory worker. A young Palestinian girl was killed in an Israeli strike Thursday.
Israeli first! Pffffttt!
In a separate development yesterday, Israel's transport minister, Shaul Mofaz, said an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites seems "unavoidable" because UN sanctions do not appear to be working to halt Tehran's bomb-making program."
Then GO AHEAD, assholes, just LEAVE the U.S. OUT!!!!
