"We have finished preparations to teach the Zionist enemy a lesson it will not forget."
Things are heating up again between Israel and Hamas. The bone of contention this time is in Gaza, where Hamas is smuggling weapons in to Gaza through Egypt (click on the map for an enlarged version, to see the geography). That put Jerusalem, Hebron, Bethleham and even Tel Aviv a lot closer to the action. Predictably, Israel does not look kindly on these developments.

Some quotes from the stories:
This latest round of attacks comes amid widely circulated Israeli reports of a buildup of more sophisticated weapons in Gaza, which could put nearby Israeli communities in the line of fire.
“Israel cannot afford to let Gaza turn into a southern Lebanon,”
“The PA is in total disarray, and there’s no attempt to prevent Gaza from being used as a launchpad. All of those pieces together lead to a need to pay whatever price is necessary,” he says, “to keep it not just from becoming Lebanon, but Somalia.”
At least eleven Palestinians were killed over this past weekend during Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip.
Dan Diker, Senior Knesset Affairs correspondent and analyst for Israel’s Channel One English News, said on Adler that he’s hearing war in Gaza is “inevitable.”
Once again, things are not looking good in the middle east.
