90 Rockets Fired From Gaza

The rumors are buzzing that Israel is going to have to do a major offensive AGAIN in Gaza.  The natives are getting restless, and after Israel killed 14 militants in Gaza, then the Arabs fired at least 90 missiles into Israel.

NOTICE that it appears Israel took out the dude who was responsible for arranging the kidnapping of  the IDF soldier in 2006.

JERUSALEM — An escalation of cross-border violence continued for the second day on Saturday, as the death toll from Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip rose to 14 militants and militant factions fired dozens more rockets into southern Israel.

Two militant groups in Gaza said those killed in at least 10 airstrikes from Friday to Saturday were their fighters, among them a top commander. Witnesses and medics said the latest airstrike, at midday Saturday, killed two militants in the crowded Gaza refugee camp of Khan Younis.

Militants vowed revenge after the initial strike that killed a leading commander on Friday, and they claimed responsibility for a subsequent torrent of more than 90 rockets that the Israeli military said were launched from Gaza toward southern Israel. One Israeli was seriously wounded in the rocket fire, and hundreds of thousands of residents in the area were advised to stay inside on Saturday, Israeli authorities said.

The escalation began Friday morning, when an Israeli airstrike on a car in Gaza City killed Zuhair al-Qaissi, the commander of the Popular Resistance Committees, and his assistant. The group, in cooperation with Hamas, abducted the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006; Shalit was freed last year in exchange for more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners.

So let's again count the many places that Israel may have to have military confrontations...Egypt, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and possibly Jordan...and Russia and Turkey have promised VERY SERIOUS responses to anyone who attacks Iran.

If I was a betting man, I would bet that the Peace Train is not coming anytime soon to Israel...which is too bad because of all the places in the Middle East Israel is the only country that truly desires to live in peace.

Ironic that the world seems to keep pointing the finger at Israel as if she is the CAUSE of all unrest.
