War in Gaza Update #14.5

Here is a quick update on the War in Gaza.

Enclosed in this post is more news about the shocking incidents of antisemitism at protests in countries around the world. Don't let anyone fool you when they say that it is only about protesting against Israeli actions. If that was the case synagogues wouldn't be vandalized, Jews in Britain wouldn't write about feeling unsafe and scumbags wouldn't yell "Jews to the ovens."

Every country can and should be criticized, but if that is all that was going on we wouldn't have those stories would we.

The IDF Blog has a summary of today's events. Here is a brief excerpt:

“We continue to face an insane reality of booby-trapped tunnels and booby-trapped schools. In one neighborhood of 150 homes, over 30 homes were found to be rigged with explosives,” IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Avi Benayahu said. “Hamas is booby-trapping every home that is abandoned by its residents.”

The IAF targeted nearly 60 Hamas targets in Gaza throughout the day, including:
  • Over 20 smuggling tunnels along the Rafah border
  • Approximately 15 cells of armed gunmen
  • Seven weapons production and storage facilities
  • Several rocket launching sites, including the launcher used to attack Be’er Sheva in the morning

Thanks for that photo at the end - the irony of someone hiding their face behind that particular placard, has brightened my extremely depressed mood.
