Coordinated Terror Attack On Southern Israel, Five Killed…
Breaking, more to follow.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Assailants armed with heavy weapons, guns and explosives launched three attacks in quick succession in southern Israel near the border with Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on Thursday, killing at least five people and wounding about a dozen more, officials said.
The rare violence in that part of the country targeted a passenger bus, a military patrol and a private car, officials said.
Channel 10 TV reported a fourth attack by gunmen, but there was no official confirmation or details. The military said a “large number” of assailants were working in multiple squads.
“We are talking about a terror squad that infiltrated into Israel,” said Israeli military spokeswoman Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich. “This is a combined terrorist attack against Israelis.”
Israeli security forces tracked down some of the assailants and are engaged in an ongoing gunbattle with them, Mordechai said. The attackers fired mortars and an anti-tank missile, he said. The military spokesman’s office said a roadside bomb was detonated when a military patrol arrived at the scene of the bus attack and drove over the device.
Mordechai said the nature of the attack indicated that it had been well planned.

I bet pay back will be a bitch…………
My thoughts and prayers go the great people of Israel.
Sadly, this is exactly what this admin is looking for…a major crisis and they: Van Jones, Soros, Jarrett, Plouffe, Axelrod, Samantha Powell, Ayers, Sunstien and the rest of his detestable thugs. The Dems are no longer Dems and anyone that does not realize this by now is a complete and utter fool. Why do you think he is vactioning now–he has done his work to the letter. Cloward-Piven to perfection. They want to be in the postion of power when it all caves in-PERIOD. Never listen to what he says—watch what he does
Everyhting that is happening around the world is a direct reflection of what this admin has done from “day one” : abandoning our allies and encouraging evil…simply beyond words
There are only two bastions of freedom left in this world–USA and Israel.
May God Bless our best and bravest…we will need every able soul very soon
Never Surrender
@Smokey,
You got that right.
Arab spring in kinetic action.
Pitiful children unable to grasp that prolonged desire is more gratifying when fulfilled than jerking off. It’s a shame that when these guys are unified by an Israeli strike their efforts will be futile because the Almighty will defend His chosen people. Not that those chosen are any better than the rest of us, they are merely chosen as example for the rest of us. There are none that have been more blessed and protected by God and yet they still depend and rely on their human efforts rather than the One who carries us all.
Agree w/ Angel…Israel should have kept Sinai…moe it’d another terrorist haven w/ robust oil resources. Israel matsav is live blogging : http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/ scroll to mid page
Egyptian border? Arab Spring border? The peaceful Muslim Brotherhood border?
Murder: it’s what islam does best.
Anti-tank missiles being used against IDF forces? If the IDF didn’t bring a tank, what a waste of ammunition – which also spells desperation. I know the Israelis have better sense than I do, but I’d level a lot of ground/cities in that part of the world. The only respect you get from the Arab world is through brute force. May God grant Israel and it’s people peace and security.
I would not put it past the islamists to pull the same sort of thing here.
Probably someone from the Tea Party movement.
Has Obama & The State Dept. demanded the Israeli’s apologize yet???
God Bless Israel the Canary in the Coal Mine for all the world’s civilized people…
anti-tank missile? Do I know these guys?
probably someones “military wing” running off again
Maybe if the buses were painted black they wouldn’t have been targeted?
I know, inappropriate. My prayers and fervent hope for their safety go out to the people of Israel. They live with the barbarians at the gate every day.
Keep a prayer in your heart for the safety of the IDF and IAF as they are called on to retaliate. Personally, I’d call up the Mossad and other special forces for a clandestine raid throughout Egypt….oil fields blown, power companies out of commission, anything that makes the lives of the populace bearable. But, no attack against military forces or civilians. Bring this thing to a head before they get stronger and ‘Bam gets back from vacation.
God bless Israel and it’s people.
The Arab imperialists are trying their darnedest to teach Israel that absolutely no treaty with them is worth even a devalued cent.
