First, some context before you read the Zionist drivel that passes for news around here.
Israeli troops reported back in Gaza
Israel launches new attacks on Gaza Earlier, Defense Minister Ehud Barak had threatened to attack the strip in retaliation to the death of an Israeli soldier who was killed in a bomb blast at the Kissufim crossing near the Israel-Gaza border. The military forces responded immediately to the incident by killing a Palestinian farmer near the border crossing.
"Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel's creation," says Mr. Cohen, a Tunisian-born Jew who worked in Gaza for more than two decades. Responsible for religious affairs in the region until 1994, Mr. Cohen watched the Islamist movement take shape, muscle aside secular Palestinian rivals and then morph into what is today Hamas, a militant group that is sworn to Israel's destruction.
"Israel created HAMAS to prevent Yassir Arafat's PLO from uniting Palestine against the Israeli occupation. After Arafat's assassination, Israel abandoned HAMAS and in order to keep Palestine divided, created Fatah. What Fatah does not realize is that if HAMAS falls, Israel will drop all support to Fatah and create yet another front group to keep Palestine divided and fighting amongst themselves" -- Wake the Flock Up
"IDF: Hamas didn't carry out attack – but is responsible Ambush on IDF patrol near Kissufim crossing executed by pro-Iranian militant group whose extremism outstrips even Hamas. Army stresses that even if Hamas didn't carry out the attack, it authorized it.

Ooookay!
You set for some Zionist propaganda now?"
JERUSALEM - A Palestinian roadside bomb killed an Israeli soldier patrolling the border with Gaza yesterday, and Israel responded with an air strike that wounded a Hamas militant in a flare-up of violence that undermined a cease-fire on the eve of a visit by the new US Mideast envoy.
Israel briefly sent tanks and bulldozers across the border into Gaza after its soldier was killed and three others were wounded in the bombing. Hamas said the Israeli air strike wounded one of its militants as he rode a motorcycle in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis....
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert later hinted that a much tougher response could soon follow, telling a gathering of senior civil servants that Israel is not bound by any formal cease-fire with Hamas. "Israel's response has yet to come," he said.
The CHUTZPAH is UNREAL, isn't it?
Early today, Gaza residents reported two Israeli air strikes targeted smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border. There were no immediate reports of injury but hundreds of people fled the area. Israel's military had no immediate comment on the report and the purpose of the strikes wasn't clear. One of the goals of Israel's offensive has been to halt weapons smuggling, but despite hundreds of strikes during the war smugglers resumed work after the cease-fire.
No, WE KNOW what the GOALS ARE: to DEPOSE HAMAS!!! Don't expect to see the MSM repeat that very often!
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing, but Ramattan, a Palestinian news agency, later released a video of the roadside bombing allegedly filmed by militants it did not identify.
Oh, wow, does THAT EVER STINK of an ISRAELI FALSE FLAG!!
And CUI BONO, huh? Gives 'em the excuse (although the NaZionist Olmert claims they need none) to roll back into Gaza after the western, Zionist-controlled MSM begins to divert your attention, world!
The video showed a large explosion next to a jeep moving on the Israeli side of the border fence. A huge plume of smoke emerges as the jeep stops. Two Israeli soldiers are then seen running toward the jeep, and gunfire is directed at them before a secondary blast hits them, too....
Oh, this is getting SMELLIER by the PARAGRAPH!!!!!
****************
After yesterday's blast, gunfire was heard along the border in central Gaza, and Israeli helicopters fired machine gun bursts, Palestinian witnesses said. An Israeli jet set off a loud sonic boom over Gaza City not long afterward, possibly as a warning.
Or to TERRORIZE the POPULATION!!
Palestinian residents said Israeli tanks and bulldozers also entered the area where the roadside bombing took place and were tearing up some vacant land - apparently to prevent it from being used to stage attacks.
Not long after the bombing, a 27-year-old Gaza farmer was killed by Israeli gunfire along the border several miles away, Palestinian medical officials said. The military had no comment, and it was unclear if the two incidents were related.
Yeah, DON'T MENTION the MURDER of the farmer until now, and then move along, Zionist press. The same nonchalant attitude they are taking toward the REOCCUPATION of GAZA!!!
The violence cast a shadow over the arrival of George Mitchell, President Obama's special Mideast envoy. Mitchell arrived in Egypt yesterday and was set to visit Israel today for three days of talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders on how to get stalled peace efforts back on track. Mitchell is expected to meet Olmert, top security officials, and the pro-Western Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas.
And CUI BONO?
As for talks with Abass, those are going nowhere: Mahmoud Abbas - The Palestinian Zionist
Mitchell has no plans to meet with Hamas, which the United States, Israel and European Union consider a terrorist group.
Then this is all wheel-spinning to say we tried, only to let Israel continue on its murderous rampage, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and Holocaust of the Palestinian people.
--more--"
What if you consider USreal a terrorist group?
Where do you go then?
