New Gaza War 'Only a Question of Time'

The UN says at least 62 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli action in Gaza so far this year. Speaking to the BBC's Jon Donnison on Wednesday, a senior Israeli army officer from the Gaza division said: "As long as Hamas remains in power, it is only a question of time before there is another conflict."

He said the Palestinian Islamist group had re-armed so much since the Israeli offensive two years ago that it was now in a stronger position militarily.

There has been an increase in rocket fire coming from Gaza in the past week.

Earlier, Israeli defence officials said tanks fitted with a new missile defence system would be deployed near Gaza.

The announcement came after Palestinian militants for the first time used a Kornet tank-piercing missile.

On 6 December the Russian-made laser-guided missile - which carries 10kg (22lb) of high explosive - penetrated the tank's armour, but did not injure its crew.

Israeli Chief-of-Staff Lt-Gen Gabi Ashkenazi said the Kornet missile was "among the most dangerous that we have seen on this front and was not used even during the Lebanon war".

"The situation in the south is very fragile and explosive," he warned.

Holy fuck! You can predict conflict in a region that's seen nothing but conflict for the past few thousand years? That's talent.

Curious question though-how are the Palestinians getting so many weapons in through that nasty, inhumane blockade. If things are as bad as you claim, wouldn't they be smuggling pizza instead?
