The IDF is back in Gaza
Israel launches fierce battle inside Gaza Strip
Jerusalem -- Israel launched its first ground military operation inside the Gaza Strip since it pulled out of the region nearly a year ago, killing three members of a Palestinian rocket squad and a policeman in a fierce battle, the Israeli army said.
The gunfight between Israeli commandos and Islamic Jihad militants took place about three kilometres inside northern Gaza, from where militants have fired hundreds of homemade rockets at Israeli border communities in more than five years of fighting.
Amos Harel, the military affairs reporter for the Haaretz daily, said the commandos sneaked into Gaza before dawn and set up an ambush in the area of the former Jewish settlement of Dugit.
This story is from May 31, 2006, but no one is talking about it.
Interesting.
