(Reuters) - Israel (click here) bombed dozens of sites in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, striking at Hamas after finding the bodies of three missing teenagers whose abduction and killing it blames on the Palestinian Islamist group.
Israel's security cabinet, which held an emergency session late on Monday and was due to meet again on Tuesday, was split on the scope of further action in the coastal enclave and the occupied West Bank, officials said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had promised Hamas would pay after the discovery of the three Jewish seminary students' bodies under a pile of rocks near the West Bank city of Hebron on Monday....
I don't recall anyone declaring war to begin with and the deaths are tragic, but, since when does murder translate into military aggression?
What is this? Any excuse to kill Palestinians is a good excuse? Why more deaths? Three aren't enough?
Israel can't contact the Palestinian authority and demand assistance in finding the murderers and returning them to justice?
Israel is out of line with civilized discourse when such tragedies happen. There will be no finding the murderers now. This is exactly why there will never be a peace in the Middle East. Israel has an agenda and any reason, no matter what it is, turns into a blood bath.
There were no authorizations from the Palestinian Authority to go out and kill Israelis or Americans. The official record states every time their is criminal behavior out of Gaza airstrikes will follow? Israel played right into the hands of those that want no peace. They played right into their hands.
Israel has no idea what those young men were doing in Hebron after dark either.
It will never stop.
...Instead, the military cited 18 Palestinian rockets launched against Israel from Gaza in the past two days, which Israeli officials have said Hamas carried out....
When aren't there rocket launches from Hamas? That is why there are interceptors in Israel.
..."The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms, this senseless act of terror against innocent youths," President Barack Obama said in a statement. "I also urge all parties to refrain from steps that could further destabilise the situation."...
It wasn't terrorism, it was murder.
