Has the 2006 War (or the corporal war) already started?
By Charlie
Israel is on the knife's edge of open war with the Palestinian people, governed by Hamas.
Fire support assets have begun to prep the battlefield already:
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israeli planes attacked three bridges in central Gaza, the military said Wednesday, and Israeli tanks were on the move after the government approved a limited operation — a response to a weekend Palestinian attack in which two soldiers were killed and a third captured.The Israeli military said in a statement that the object of the attacks on the bridges late Tuesday and early Wednesday was "to impair the ability of the terrorists to transfer the kidnapped soldier." Knocking down the bridges would cut Gaza in two, Palestinian security officials said.
Israeli military officials said Prime Minister Ehud Olmert approved a "limited operation" for southern Gaza, aimed at "terrorist infrastructure." The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters.
Palestinian security forces said Israeli tanks were on the move near the Israeli village of Nahal Oz, a main Israeli staging area just outside Gaza, but that they had not yet entered the territory. An Associated Press reporter saw tanks moving on the Israeli side of the border fence.
Meanwhile, Israeli gunships are targetting power plants in Gaza:
GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli helicopter gunships fired at least two missile into a Palestinian power plant in the central Gaza Strip on Wednesday, cutting electrical supplies to large areas of the coastal territory, witnesses said.
Egypt's forces are apparently deployed to their border, obstensibly for the purposes of blocking Palestinians from fleeing into their country (so much for Arab unity). Additionally, the Hamas hardliners in hiding in Damascus who are directing most of the violence must be sleeping a little less soundly tonight, fearing the creeping Israeli agents.
More to come on this...

AFAIR, the Israelis literally gave a rude awakening to Baby Assad a couple of years ago, when Israeli warplanes flew over Damascus at 3-4 AM, and they went supersonic and created some nice sonic booms above Baby Assad's palace...
Ehud, time to apply this technique again.
Go Israel!!!

In " impairing thier ability ot transfer the kidnapped soldier" they have also neatly boxed in quite a few "militants".
Does it count as a turkey shoot if all the turkeys are in a barrel?
Looks like the poster above got his wish- Baby Dictator Assad woke up to four F-15s sound blasting his palace :)
You just gotta question the intelligence of people that pick a fight, knowing they're gonna get their a$$e$ kicked---big time!

The best operations can get out of control.
The description "limited operation" for southern Gaza, aimed at "terrorist infrastructure." is misleading. It may start out limited, but the crazy, wanting to die, Arabs will quickly turn it into a turkey shoot (with them being the turkeys).
Look for "News Crews" capturing every moment, especially the bleeding dead bodies of women and children. If the Israelies don't kill any, I would not put it past the Pals to kill a few for the cameras.
