Gaza!!

[Trumble]

Just few hours after zionists agreed ceasefire, they bombed civilians in Gaza by white phosphorous.

According to the Iranian mouthpiece Press TV (and nobody else). Even Press TV doesn't mention 'civilians' as a specific target.

The general opinion from the likes of Al Jazeera was that some Israeli air and artillery attacks have taken place today (Sunday), the targets being sites from which rockets were launched into Israel between the time the Israelis declared a ceasefire and Hamas announced their own ceasefire sometime later.

Taking out one tank would be a big deal for Hamas.

I think thats a gross underestimation of Hamas' military capability. I think the nature of this particular onslaught against Gaza has made it quite difficult to neutralize tanks systematically, but Hamas do have the capability to do it. Their military wing is not inflexible and is known to be quite adept at guerilla warfare.

It would still be quite an accomplishment for Hamas to totally disable an IDF tank. Guerilla warfare is one thing, but when a tank starts humming around the corner the intelligent thing for any ground force to do is retreat. That goes for Hamas or a highly equiped Western force. You aren't going to disable a tank with an rpg in most cases, unless you have the special anti-tank variety that the U.S. and others possess.

CNN and the BBC (you probably have a point about Fox!) do not have reporters in Gaza as the Israelis will not allow them in. They would hardly report something so improbable on the basis of an unnamed Palestinian source, without any photographic evidence. We have a picture of one tank track, not twenty burned out tank wrecks. And you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to notice that the track is deeply buried in mud, now completely dried so it has obviously been there days, if not weeks (or years), prior to the photograph being taken.

I'm afraid Hamas have their propaganda machine, just as the Israelis do.

I know this it's a bit late, but the tank could have be buried in mud by the explosion of bombs and rockets which may have thrown the mud all over the place. It could have also easily dried by fire from surrounding objects that may have caught fire as well.

I doubt that Hamas would have time to spread false tales when they are the ones most needing for the world to see the truth and the reality of their situation to be seen.

how come there isnt a thread about israel... i was once in a jewish website and they had for both... thats a very selfish thing to do.

Perhaps it is because you are in the sub section titled "News from Gaza "
