As promised, Israel retaliated against the Palestinians.

Israeli planes attacked a bridge in central Gaza late Tuesday, Israel Radio reported, and Israeli tanks were said to be on the move, possibly signaling the start of a military operation.
Palestinian security forces said Israeli tanks were moving near the Israeli village of Nahal Oz, a main Israeli staging area just outside Gaza, but that they had not yet entered Gaza.

In the Shajaiyeh neighborhood of Gaza City, not far from the border fence, armed militants took up positions across from the blaring headlights of Israeli vehicles, and Israeli attack helicopters hovered overhead. The militants told residents to leave the area.

Israeli military officials said a limited operation has been authorized for southern Gaza, aimed at “terrorist infrastructure.” The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters.

Captain Ed notes:

If any Palestinians have thoughts of fleeing into the Sinai, the Egyptian government has a response ready. After Hamas ignored their entreaties to release the wounded IDF soldier, they sent 2500 troops to the Gaza border. The Egyptians have no desire to get drawn into the conflict, but neither do they want a flood of Gaza refugees fleeing into Egypt to cause even more trouble than the Palestinian terrorists have already created.

The Israelis will not bargain with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. They committed an act of war, and the Israelis will answer back in the same fashion. The only question will be how far they will go into Gaza and for how long.

   I also just read Israel is flying warplanes over the home of Syrian President Bashar Assad apparently to pressure the leader to helping return the Israeli soldiers. I for one am glad that Israel is taking positive and aggressive action. They can’t count on half the U.S. Congress for support any longer and with all the recent threats made against them lately they needed to start fighting back.

   Go Israel!!
