Israel under attack from gaza on 24th December 2008

December 24th 2008
Israel under attack over 70 rockets fired from Gaza today. This morning Hamas terrorists decided to step up their war against Israel and fired over 70 Irainian made Katyusha rockets smmugeled into the Gaza strip by tunnels that are dug across into Egypt. Over 50 Israeli`s where lightly injured mostly suffering from shock and trauma and many homes where destroyed in Israels southern towns Ashkelon,Sderot,Netivot and smaller Kibbutzim. The Israeli Cabinet has met for an emergency meeting in the Prime Ministers office in Jerusalem and a major millitary operation will start as soon as weather conditions and finall measures of diplomacy are concluded and cleared. Hamas ceasefire with Israel has ended on thursday and they are not willing to resume it unless their demands are met, demands that they know Israel at this crucial time of elections can`t agree to, so it looks like many people on both sides are going to be hurt in the next few days in the biggest millitary operation since the seconed Lebanon war in the summer of 2006.

In a last minute attempt to hault the Idf`s operation in the Gaza strip Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni has gone to Cairo to meet with President Mubarak who has so far failed to negotiate a new ceasefire with Hamas terror regime in the Gaza strip.

The Israeli army is preparing for a big operation and is massing up troops and tanks along the Gaza strip border this morning perhaps these diplomatic last minute efforts and Israeli millitary show of force will change Hamas views for the need of a new ceasefire and prevent many this operation.
