Palestinians shoot down Israeli F-16 fighter jet in Gaza: Israel Re-escalates: Mobilizes 75,000
Earlier today, air raid sirens went off in Tel Aviv, and even Jerusalem was supposedly in danger of a missile attack: hardly the deescalation Israel was hoping to see. Sure enough, the ball is in Bibi’s court and he wastes not time:
- NETANYAHU CONVENING MINISTERS TO APPROVE RESERVES CALL-UP; TV
- ISRAEL PLANNING TO CALL UP 75,000 RESERVISTS, CHANNEL TWO SAYS
Next: flip flops and other various closed-toed shoes on the ground.
Palestinian fighters have downed an Israeli warplane flying over the Gaza Strip as retaliatory rocket attacks from the enclave continue to sound alarms across Israel.
According to Hamas sources, the Israeli F-16 fighter jet was shot down on Friday.
Meanwhile, several Israelis were injured after three rockets fired from Gaza hit the Zionist settlement of Gush Etzion in al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Palestinian missiles and rockets have also hit the other Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Eshkol, Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Be’er Sheva.
In Tel Aviv, a rocket hit a commercial district while a second rocket landed 200 meters away from the American Embassy. It is the first time that Tel Aviv has come under attack in decades. Three Israeli soldiers have been injured in a rocket attack in Eshkol.
Hospitals across Israel are now in state of emergency.
Palestinians have fired over 600 rockets and missiles into Israel since Wednesday after Tel Aviv launched a major military strike against the besieged Palestinian territory, killing scores of people, including women and children.
The Israeli Army says it has carried out 466 airstrikes against Gaza in the past three days.
According to Israeli sources, the Iron Dome missile shield has only intercepted one-fifth of the rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, residents of the besieged Gaza Strip say they are getting text messages warning of military escalation as reports suggest that Israeli military forces are preparing for a ground invasion of Gaza.

No confirmation about F16 down. The mobilisation of the IDF is very real, could easily result in a Saba and Shatila massacre situation.

This doesn’t mean anything. I’ve been watching this shit on TV, going back 40 years. Lighten up people. More stupid Jews fighting with almost as stupid Arabs.

Rick, those ‘stupid Jews’ are running the US and most of the world’s banking system. The Arabs have their own agenda, but at least they are not directly destroying the West, like the above Jews.
Perhaps gas will hit a new high in 2013? Or be rationed permanently at $10+ per gallon? Sure looks that way. Then food costs will climb, anything imported will climb, exports will shrink, etc. World War 3 may have begun on your bank account. Happy Holidays!
