This Time Rockets Will DEFINITELY Work

Yesterday Israel opened the crossings to Gaza which had previously been blockaded by the Israeli Defence Force, and for the first time in months allowed aid through to the beleaguered Hamas stronghold-town. This was an unusual move, since the six-month truce that both parties were following ended a few days prior when some Gazans decided it would totally hilarious to fire rockets into Israeli settlements. 

Ehud Olmert, the Israeli PM, warned on Thursday that Gazans should stop all rocket attacks. On Friday, Gazan authorities assured Israel that they were investigating the truce-breaking rocket attacks. 

Today, dissatisfied that Gaza was not completely pacified in the period between Thursday and Saturday, the Israeli military launched a series of air-strikes and missile attacks which have killed 155 people, including the Gaza police chief, who was presiding over the graduation ceremony at the Gazan Police Academy. It is their hope that this will encourage Gazans take control over their own territory and stop attacking Israelis.

A military spokesman for Israel today said that "this is only the beginning".
