Israeli troops invaded several areas in the West Bank late Wednesday night into the early hours of Thursday morning, abducting 64 Palestinian officials, including 8 ministers, 20 lawmakers, and a mayor. Israel announced that arrests of Hamas-affiliated lawmakers will continue, stating that Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh is not immune from being targeted for arrest. [Source]

Soldiers shelled several shops Thursday at dawn in Khan Younis causing considerable damage, including buildings under construction catching fire.

Israeli soldiers installed a military camp at a deserted airport near Rafah and positioned dozens of tanks and armored vehicles for attack.

The Israeli air force dropped leaflets in the northern Gaza Strip warning residents that the army will invade the area soon and threatened a wide-scale military assault.

Israeli fighter jets also stepped up the offense, dropping sound bombs throughout the day in Gaza city. [Source]

You know what, I think the PLC should just kill that soldier; the Israeli government will only have themselves to blame after refusing to negotiate and declaring war on Gaza instead. Ugh I am enraged by the occupational practices of the Israeli militants, how can they claim to care for one soul while they’ve probably killed a few when they cut the power and water on Gazans?
How do they expect Palestinians to feel and act after all of this?

I was wrong when I thought that the best case scenario is to release Gilad ASAP, it is useless, Israel will always find an excuse to bomb Palestinians and continue to occupy them in an ignorant world who still think that CNN is the place to come for news.

What the hell, Palestinians are screwed either way, lets get this over with and move on to the next invasion please!
