The air force continued to hammer away at Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip on Thursday as the IDF made its first foray into northern Gaza, sending tanks and infantry to take over Kassam launch sites.

At least eight Palestinians died in the Israeli attacks, including a Hamas operative who was killed when the IAF dropped a bomb on a two-story building belonging to Hamas's Executive Force. Forty-five others were wounded in the bombing, which leveled the building and several next to it.

Three people were killed later in the day when IAF helicopters fired a missile at a vehicle in southern Gaza that the IDF said was transporting a Kassam rocket squad. Hamas operatives said they had fired three rockets from that area shortly before the air strike.

Palestinians also reported an additional three killed IAF aircraft fired on Hamas operatives late Thursday night.

This is all now getting completely ridiculous! Olmert is at last showing a bit of a spine (he has no other choice).

Israel should offer the (so-called) Palestineans in Gaza and on the West Bank to become citizens of the Jewish State of Israel, or be bulldozed across the Egyptian and Jordanian borders. The violence these animals carry out has no place in the ONLY democratic country in the region! When will the world see that Israel is not the problem?
