Israeli aircraft pound Gaza

[Violet_Crumble]

Israeli aircraft struck the Gaza Strip repeatedly early on Sunday and the army said it had targeted sites used by militants firing rockets into Israel and roads for transporting the makeshift missiles.

Four Palestinians were wounded in at least nine raids, including three policeman and a baby who was hit in the face with shrapnel, medics said.

Key bridges in the northern Gaza Strip were also targeted, cutting roads for thousands of people.

"These routes are used by terrorists to reach the areas from which they launch rockets at Israeli targets," the army said.

Israeli warplanes also carried out mock raids over Gaza City, shaking homes with deafening sonic booms.

1. WHY are they bombing Israel? Still not happy, I take it?

2. That'd be my guess.

They have Gaza and still bomb Israel. Is this supposed to instill Israel with confidence to Judenrien the West Bank and give the PA it's own area to "govern?"

3. Firing wonky Qassams can hardly be described as bombing...

Bombing's what the IDF does - y'know, like this one that ends up with a baby with shrapnel wounds to it's face...

As for happy, do you think that the issue of the West Bank was just going to conveniently vanish? It's still occupied and settlements are being expanded, so nothing's changed there...
