The ground operation’s objective is the rocket launching sites Hamas has created throughout Gaza.
And the headline is the only part of that Ynet story that expounds upon that objective. Bad headline writer! Bad! Well, anyway:
IDF ground troops entered the northern Gaza Strip Saturday evening, as the army launched its long anticipated ground operation.
Army officials confirmed that dozens of terrorists were hurt in clashes with IDF ground troops, some of them were killed. In several cases, armed terrorists approached Israeli forces and were shot at by ground troops and IDF gunships. There are no reports of Israeli casualties at this time.
Large IDF ground forces, including Armored and Engineering corps units, as well as infantry soldiers are currently operating in the Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun areas, from which rockets have been launched toward Israel.
The army is preparing to enter the third phase of the operation, which is expected to be much broader in scope. In this framework tens of thousands of reserve soldiers will be pouring into training bases in north and south Israel during the early hours of Sunday morning.
In a shocking twist, Fox News says the UN Security Council resolution, introduced by Libya, says absolutely nothing about Hamas rocketing Israel. I know, I know. Shocking.
Shocking? Not at all considering that this is Islam at its finest. Ignore the cause, and criticize the response. I am no Rhodes Scholar, but I can see no reason why Israel would expend precious armament if they were not being set upon by these raghead rocketeers. Israel would much prefer to build her stockpiles and spend the excess on having better infrastructure; than to spend precious funds, and take its workforce out of work and put them in uniform. Not shocking at all to me. It is the historic way that the Islamic minded and liberal press worldwide choose to illustrate the situation.
When the rockets stop, so too will Israel stop, always has, always will.
Go Israel Defense Force!

“Introduced by Libya”…well, there’s the problem right there.
Frankly Opinionated, can we not use terms like “raghead” here, please?
Terrorist is a good enough description.
