Israel poised to invade Gaza as rocket strikes continue - 17 mins ago

WASHINGTON — Israel's military on Dec. 18 launched its most intense air strikes against Hamas in the Gaza Strip in six months. The military said the targets included a missile arsenal and production facility in the Jabalya refugee camp and Khan Yunis.

Meanwhile, the Washington Institute reported Israel's military appears to have achieved readiness for a massive invasion of the Gaza Strip.

The report said Israel's military appears more capable than in its war with Hizbullah in 2006. The institute said in a report that the Israel Army has enhanced counter-insurgency and intelligence skills required to fight the Hamas regime and its militia allies in the Gaza Strip.

"The IDF [Israel Defense Forces] appears better prepared for action than it did in summer 2006," the report by former U.S. Defense Department analyst Jeffrey White said. "It has new means and methods for irregular opponents, including improved equipment, tactics, and organization for urban combat. It has enhanced intelligence capabilities and counter-tunneling equipment and units, and it has had plenty of time to plan and prepare."

Titled "IDF Military Action in Gaza: Options and Implications," the report said the military was leaning toward a takeover of the Gaza Strip. White, who recently toured Israeli military facilities, said this was the most effective way to end the daily missile and rocket strikes against the Jewish state, although the operation would engender U.S. and international criticism.

"In all likelihood, the IDF's performance in Gaza would substantially exceed what was seen in Lebanon," the report said. "Finding a workable exit strategy that does not reverse its military gains, however, could be more difficult to attain."

The report envisioned military plans for a massive invasion of the Gaza Strip. The option called for a multiple brigade- or division-level operation that would capture the entire 330-kilometer strip and destroy the Hamas regime.

"This could involve prolonged occupation of at least some territory, and extensive efforts to rake out terrorist organizations and their infrastructure," the report said. "Although the most challenging from a military standpoint, this kind of operation would offer the best prospects for long-term security improvements in southern Israel. Of course, this option would entail the greatest political complications and risks, and could lead to an escalation of military tensions with Hizbullah in Lebanon. It would also require a clearly defined exit strategy."

Defense Minister Ehud Barak has withheld approval of any invasion of the Gaza Strip. The report said Barak and senior commanders in the military appear to be concerned that the military operation would not be successful.

"A successful operation, one that achieves its goals and provides an effective exit strategy, would be politically advantageous for the Israeli government and reduce the diplomatic fallout," the report said.

"Failure, however, would be a political disaster for Israel and all those supporting the peace process, much to the advantage of Israel's enemies -- Hamas, Hizballah, Syria, and Iran. These concerns explain why some in the IDF and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have argued for caution."

He did not say the palestinian people were shooting rockets. Where do u see palestinian in the above quote? Whoever is shooting the rockets knows they're doing from gaza so they know the risk they are putting the people that live there but they dont care. Israel has a responsibility to act just like us would if people were firing rockets into usa from mexico and mexico neither had the capability to do something about it or turning a blind eye. One thing is for sure..Israel would not be poised to invade if there were no rockets fired from that region in the first place.

They are not the ones shooting the rockets. Those rockets are launched by Zionist false flag patsies. Esentially it's like this: attack yourself and make it look like someone else is doing the attacking (your enemy), then retaliate. In other words, like 9/11: if you want to attack and destroy a particular person or country, then create a false flag operation: attack yourselt and blame it on your enemy; the zombie people scream, rant and rave that the government do something about this problem, then the government (the PTB) offers the solution by attacking the so called "enemy."

Works slicker than snot everytime, as long as the zombies don't wake up and begin to figure things out or ask questions. The media (owned by the PTB) do a good job of masking and covering up everything. Plus, people just can't accept the possibility that the government would "do such a thing." Big fucking fat lies, no......little lies the sheep can accept.

Re: Peace on Earth? Israel poised to invade Gaza as rocket strikes continue
Once again, I msut bring up one STRANGE FACT...

Israel constnatly argues that it is the " good innocent guys " being attacked by its angry neighbors for no reasons at all...

and yet, it is ISRAEL that will not allow permanent peace keeping troops from the U.N , to permanently patrol the areas/ borders and see what is really going on..

something smells rotten in denmark....opps...I mean Israel..

Hey, it's X-mas!

No better way to celebrate X-mas, than by liquidating some subhumans.

It's what X-mas is all about, here in the Holy Land.
