2009-01-18 So called "cease fire" in Gaza strip is taking place now. Gaza strip is destroyed. The rebuilding will cost billions of dollars say experts. You can see yourself how Gaza looks today.
At the beginning of this war, objective was to stop Palestinians to fire rockets into the Israeli, but it still continues. Israel (Olmert) today said, that objective is completed. After five minutes Israeli press spoke-man said, the operation is not over.
So what is the objective? Killing 1300+ Palestinians including 350+ children? Bombing schools, hospitals and UN buildings? Destroying 4000 houses and damaging another 16000. Attacking ambulances and water supplies? Is this war? The real objective is military training. In year 2006 was Lebanon war known as July war. It was 33-day military conflict with +/- 2000 victims on both sides (1233+ civilians). Over 5500 was wounded.
The strategy was same. First days of war - intense Israeli air strikes and then using heavy equipment, ground operation on Lebanese soil.
War in Lebanon 2006 and war on Gaza strip 2008 is Israeli military training. There will be always flying rockets from Gaza to Israel. Until the end of the world, trust me. Israeli real objective is war on Iran. Israel - Gaza war will last +/- one month. And here is my little prophecy.
2006, 2008, ........ . Israel will attack Iran before year 2011. Join Israel -Gaza War forum
