Israel prepared to act against Hamas after rocket attack

Israel has warned it is prepared to retaliate with an assault on Gaza, after a rocket attack wounded at least 14 people while US President George Bush was in Israel.
Israeli military intelligence chief, Major General Amos Yadlin, has told the Haaretz newspaper that Hamas, the Islamist group in Gaza, is preparing defensive positions in anticipation of a possible military incursion.
Mr Bush, on a five-day trip in the Middle East, told Israel it could rely on continued US backing to break up terrorist networks.
In remarks to Israel's Parliament he said: "Israel's population may be just over seven million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because America stands with you."
Two small Palestinian militant groups claimed responsibility for Wednesday's rocket attack on a shopping mall in southern Israel, which came as Bush held talks in Jerusalem.

The PM and his gang is always talking about stopping the terrorists in Gaza, but it is just empty words. The time has come to invade Gaza and stop its aggressions once for all.

President Bush Needs To READ the BIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
President Bush publicly states that he is Israel’s friend & stands behind them 100%. If that is really true, why does he continue to try & take away Israel’s land. God gave Israel to the Jews, NOT the Palestinians. Please, Mr. Bush, don’t bring judgment on the rest of the US. READ & UNDERSTAND your BIBLE. I pay the Lord opens your eyes.
