No Tranquility in Gaza
(Jerusalem Post) Arieh O'Sullivan - The army proudly displayed Sunday some recent successes on the Gazan front. In one thermal film, a top fugitive responsible for smuggling weapons through tunnels from Egypt was filmed from above as he fled his home during a raid. The drone operators were able to direct troops on the ground to the house where the fugitive had sought refuge and thus to capture him. Another film recorded a recent clash with a Hamas squad spotted as it moved into action toting a heavy machine gun. An IDF sniper hit one gunman, and when the others brought in a donkey cart to evacuate him, they also brought with them two children as human shields. "It was clear they were terrorists, but we didn't fire at them because of the two kids," said a senior officer.
