Israel Moving Closer to Gaza Incursion?
By Charlie
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israeli forces made forays into northern and southern Gaza Tuesday morning in operations targeting Palestinian militants, killing up to five, the Israel Defense Forces said. ... The IDF acknowledged having just 10 tanks about half a mile (a kilometer) inside the Sufa border crossing, saying its troops were on regular operational duty against the terror infrastructure in Gaza.
Hamas, meanwhile, claims they are ready for the fight:
Armed members of Hamas are conducting practical drills for a possible attack on Israel.FOX News had an exclusive look at the guerrillas as they trained with new Kalashnikovs in the Gaza Strip.
"The U.S. and Israel and other regional powers were generous enough to provide Fatah security with very good weapons, and now they are in our hands," one gunman told FOX News.
"This training is part of the Hamas preparation to stop an Israeli offensive into the Gaza Strip," another gunman said. "We will hit them bad and many of them will be kidnapped."
That's a pretty bold statement of an intent to commit war crimes, and is likely intended as an IO message to the Israelis, meant to strike fear into their armed forces because of the successful Hamas kidnappings in the past. Check out the video, which shows Hamas terrorists that are well armed, and executing squad tactics rather than the usual parading through the street and brandishing their weapons...its almost as if they've had some professional training.

It is like a deja-vu. Israel is giving them weapons to fight terrorism and those weapons are turned against Israel.
Is Israel not learning from mistakes?!
