Flare Up in Gaza

That did not take long. Not that many people were holding their breath.

Terrorist from Gaza detonated a road side bomb on Israel's side of the Gaza boarder and are launching rockets into Israel. At least one IDF soldier has died from the attack. In response, Israel launched an air strike aimed at destroying a smuggling tunnel (between Gaza and Egypt). The IDF also appeared to have launched a minor incursion into Gaza to get the people responsible.

On a related note, IDF soldiers and officials are being warned not to travel to certain countries for fear of arrest and prosecution. What other country has to deal with this; a Western Democracy no less? I wonder what would happen if a senior Hamas leader when to visit those countries; probobly nothing.
