That's not usually a good sign.

Watch out for egypt, they are in sync with Hamas and Hizbollah.

Morsi just waited for an excuse like that to install himself as a hero on arab street.

No, not a good sign. A worse sign would be opening the border and/or moving some military in a show of force. That si also a concern up along the Lebanese border, whether Hezbollah will be called up or not.

In a review of the situation at this time, Israel keeps talking tough and posturing for ground forces, but many are saying that they (Israel) has done what they needed and they could move back from the brink now and all will be well. My analysis: Missiles flying over major cities does not bode well for an end to the campaign just yet.

Any word on the press conference in Israel?

The bumbling burglar here isn't changing his speech from duck & dodge

Not yet besides thanking southern communities for their patience. Barak promises it is nto a short duration event.

Right now, there have been man many rockets hits on Israerl that have yet to be reported due to censors but it is said there have been dozens of rockets so far.

What is the war index MM?

Yep. That is certainly gonna seal some fates. Bad mistake on the part of Hamas. I didn't think they were that stupid. Color me underestimating.

never underestimate the capacity of human stupidity

I think the war index is currently at "curl up into fetal ball and jerk spasmodically"

LOL!! that so should be an alert level

Not to make light of a very dire situation, But I'm off tonight. For the love of God can't they wait until I have to go back to work before they start the apocalypse?

eh the heck with it, make light of it, may not get another chance to.

IDF confirmed on Twitter that operation would last days. We all know that could mean anything. Watch Iran or more accurately whether there will be a strike while this distraction happens. V unlikely though.
