Pigua!

I woke up to these headlines:

 

A bus has exploded in Tel Aviv

   

Police arrest suspected terrorist in Ramat Gan

[UPDATE: "later found not to be connected to the attack"]

 

16 23 were wounded in the bus bombing. There was no mention of any deaths.

Police believe female terrorist with bomb at large in Tel Aviv; Police searching house-to-house in TA for terrorist. [UPDATE from facebook 6:49AM Eastern: "... watching Channel 2 news- they say the suspect in Ramat Gan was not connected to the attack, there is NO female terrorist at large, and there have been NO additional explosions. They say two suspects have been arrested and taken in for questioning."]

To hell with that Muslim Brotherhood-brokered ceasefire, YES?

 

Meanwhile: Wednesday, November 21, 2012

9:00 AM: This morning, the IDF targeted Hamas operatives in their hiding place in Gaza where they were building rockets. A direct hit was confirmed.

7:10 AM: Overnight, the IDF targeted dozens of terror infrastructure sites throughout the Gaza Strip. The targets included the Ministry of Internal Security – which served as one of the main command and control centers for the Hamas terror organization – as well as an important police compound and a military hideout used as a meeting place for senior operatives and a communications center. Additionally, Israeli Navy targeted a rocket launching site, a Hamas post and a structure used for Hamas’ terror activity.

In a joint IDF-ISA activity, the IDF targeted, in a pinpoint strike, a Hamas intelligence operations center, which was deliberately located in a media building in the Gaza Strip. In addition, IAF aircraft targeted a senior Hamas operative in the aerial defense operations, several terrorist squads, and a terrorist who was identified at the launching site from which a rocket was fired yesterday towards Jerusalem. Furthermore, the IDF targeted approximately 50 underground rocket launchers, terror tunnels, three weapons storage facilities, and a weapons manufacturing site. The IDF also targeted a system of tunnels used to transport fuel to Hamas.

From Hamas's viewpoint, the bus bombing in Tel Aviv was a flop -- because, according to early reports, nobody was killed. Still and all, the kaffiyah-wearing badasses made the best of things by celebrating the attack and handing out candy to kids in Gaza City. In the copious vocabulary of English there must be a word that suitably describes such people -- but I don't know what it is. Depraved, iniquitous, malevolent -- none of these seem sufficient to describe people who exalt the maiming, mangling, and mutilating of innocent humans. About all that can be said is that they richly deserve every Israeli explosive that's dropped on them.
