Israel Moves On Gaza; Hamas Talks Turkey

In a long overdue act of self defense, Israel has sent in tanks and bulldozers into the terrorist-infested Gaza Strip, focusing on Khan Younis and near the Rafeh crossing. The Israelis have killed at least five terrorists and detained more than 60 others.

Abbas calls the Israeli actions an impediment to negotiations. So does terrorist attacks against Israel, and yet that's gone unmentioned by both Israel and the media for years.

This comes as reports indicate that Hamas is now willing to hand back the Gaza Strip to Fatah. The Palestinian terrorists are in love with the rope-a-dope strategy, and there's good reason for it. The diplomats fall for it every time. The talks include the possibility of new elections.

Hamas knows that Israel can decimate its capabilities in Gaza in short order, so they're going to make motions that would enable Fatah to "resume control" in Gaza so that it thwarts Israel's defensive actions against Gaza. This would enable the Palestinians to continue their terrorist actions against Israel, while playing the diplomats for fools.

UPDATE:
Reports indicate that four Israeli soldiers were injured by a Palestinian fired anti-tank weapon. Nice to know that the Palestinians have adhered to the Oslo rules, which prohibit such weapons.
