IDF confirms Palestinian reports, says struck tunnels meant for smuggling terrorists into Israel
Ali Waked Latest Update: 01.02.10, 08:22 / Israel News
Palestinian witnesses reported Friday evening of hearing loud explosions in northern Gaza, near Jabaliya and Gaza City's eastern neighborhoods.
The IDF Spokesperson's Office confirmed that the Air Force (IAF) had carried out strikes on tunnels dug in the northern Strip, and said they were intended for the smuggling of terrorists into Israel.
The tunnels were said to have been dug about a kilometer from the border fence. Direct hits were identified.
According to the sources in Gaza, the IDF targeted a rocket-launching cell but failed to hit the gunmen. The sources further claimed that four people were injured in the strike, but the report was not verified by medical officials in the coastal enclave.
Palestinian sources also reported that a group of Hamas observers were bombed in the area of Khan Younis. A strike was also reported to have been carried out in the eastern part of Gaza City. No injuries were reported in either case.
Earlier Friday, two mortars were fired from northern Gaza towards Israel's western Negev region. There were no reports of injury or damage.
One of the shells landed in an open area within Sdot Negev Regional Council limits, while the other landed in Palestinian territory, near the Kerem Shalom border crossing.
The Salah a-Din Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, claimed responsibility attacks, claiming it had fired a total of five mortars towards Israel.

Your an embarrassment to Canada, not to mention a total fucking hypocrite.
If you believe in the Israeli right-to-return then you must also believe in the return of Indigenous lands to the North American Aboriginals.
See...? another fucking nub hypocrite embarrassing my precious flag.

but it can also be said from the other side, and with much bigger valid-
if you beleive it is possible to change the well back 60 yrs ago, bring all the pales. inside the state of Israel and demolish it, then you should also support the fact that the state of Canada will be demolished and the original Natives will return to live there like was hundreds of years before...

i believe in the return of indigenous land to the North American Aboriginals as i believe the return of land to the Jews. a small portion of what was once historic Isreal is now away from the colonial muslims and in its rightful owners hand. unfortunately muslims want it all and the Jews dead.

You and hamas lose. Your name calling and LL jihad has not changed facts on the ground. If anything, your hamas suffers more and more as your LL jihad intensifies. True self detructive jihadi anti-genius.
It is true what they say about you cave people, you never miss an opporuntiy to miss an opportunity for your own self destructive and murderous jihadi impulses. Your jihadi dysfunction is the laughing stock of the entire world. The fact that you have no shame at the utter almost 100% dysfuncti More..

Funny really there was a ceasefire when no rockets were fired from the Pali for 3 months (an Israeli spokesman admitted it) and the Israeli planes went in and broke the ceasefire.
We don't all have the memory of a fish.
Funny also that the Israeli's used WP on civilians. This is strictly banned under the Geneva Convention and has been for about 50 years.
Funny really the Israeli's used civilians as human shields when doing S&D missions.
Funny really the Israeli's are illegally knocking More..

Funny how a jew hating troll like you can talk so much shit!
In that clip, the ISraeli spokesperson was cut off and you only heard part of the speech.....the Pallies fired 15 times from GAzza during that ceasefire, and thats admitted in that interview as well! You think we all believe HAmass when they claim it wasnt them?? Hahahahahaha
And i would say a fish has a better memory than you.
Its a standard Army tactic using the enemy as guides when searching for his relatives. Every country does tha More..

If I remember correctly I sent you a link to the full interview.
Convenient memory you have Jew.
It's what you are good at isn't it ignoring the truth.
I am not going to bother looking for the link for you again. Search it out for yourself on Youtube.
You still haven't sought professional help for that manic laughter, I see.
So according to you two wrongs make a right. Sorry that one doesn't work for me.
Lastly you are thinking of Armadinajad not the Pali's, plus you are misquoting him.
Con More..

You are right. White phosphorus should not have been used to create a smoke screen. 1000 pound bombs would have been a lot more effective. They would have created a HUGE cloud of smoke.

These tunnels are used to immport foodstuffs; something that Israel won't allow.

Agreed, If the Jews weren't blockading food and medical supplies these tunnels would not be necessary.
Then they wonder why the Pali's throw the occasional rocket at them.

Funny, because the rocket attacks took place when there was no blockade and when Israel fulfilled its end of the bargain. And Israel does let in food and medical supplies.
The monkeys in Gaza will attack Israel no matter what Israel does. It's pretty logical that Israel would want to rob them of the ability to move items freely into their country when the Palestinians would more likely than not put all their effort into importing weapons.
