IDF expands Gaza operation

[Scurrilous]

Full title: IDF expands Gaza operation, as tanks and troops move into central part of Strip for first time

<snip>

"The Israel Defense Forces expanded its action in the Gaza Strip shortly after midnight Tuesday, when infantry soldiers and tanks entered central Gaza for the first time since Operation Summer Rains began two weeks ago.

Residents said the soldiers were conducting searches in a village east of the town of Dir el Balah and had moved about 150 meters into the territory.

The decision to expand the operation was made during consultations between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz.

Abdel Asmeri, a Palestinian farmer, said he saw the forces advance about 700 meters into Gaza toward his village, near the town of Khan Yunis.

Palestinians said that IDF bulldozers were leveling farmland in the area, and the military ordered Palestinian security forces to leave their forward positions."

4. Israel wants ALL Palestinians to leave Gaza

I believe that this is the goal --

I don't believe that this is due to the kidnapping of ONE Israeli army private.

Plus they know that they can get away with murder -- I suspect that they have made a deal with the US -- they are supposed to do something for the bush gang and as a pay off they get a free pass to deal with their Palestinian problem.


AND I really want this prediction to be 100% wrong.
