Israel launches new operation in Gaza Strip
Israeli forces have mounted a new incursion into the Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip.

A military spokeswoman says soldiers were looking for tunnels being used to smuggle arms from Egypt and to hunt down Palestinian militants.

4. I wonder what lovely name they'll give this operation?
At some point the IDF will run out of names for their continual operations. I'm waiting for the sequels to start coming, like 'Operation Defensive Shield II - Back Yet Again With Even More Vengeance To Continue The Cycle Of Blame For The Cycle of Violence'. Or they might slip up one day and call one what it really is: 'Operation Let's Shoot Any Civilian That Moves.'

3. My only surprise
is that there is anything left to destroy.

This site always breaks my heart:

If only these pictures could reach everybody. If only people would
look for themselves.
