War update

A possible land assault on Gaza soon. Israel called up 30,000 reservists. Meantime air and sea assault started at 6am. Gaza has not responded so far. So far the talk about town is the missiles fired into Tel Aviv. The usual Gaza rockets don't have the capacity to fly beyond 25-30km. This time it flew way into 70km ... which means the rockets are a different type, more powerful and therfore foreign made. The question is: how did they get into Gaza despite Israeli blockade?

There's a sick conspiracy theory being whispered around the streets - that the war was orchestrated to boost both Israeli and Hamas govt as elections draw near. It's really sick because human lives are being sacrificed for political ambition, if it is true. Anyway it's common for such rumours to fly during times of crisis. And it helps no one.
