Israel Declares Palestinian Government "Terrorist" While Shelling Gaza

"Terrorists" are being bombed and those blamed for the taking of a hostage are captured. In response to the capture of Gilad shield, an Israeli soldier, by Palestinian militants, Israel has reoccupied the Gaza Strip and bombed electricity plants and bridges. The IDF also arrested 60 Hamas members who were also politicians in the plagued but democratically elected Palestinian government. At least one of the arrests occurred in the West Bank, as military operations are apparently taking place there, as well.

With news coming out of Iraq that Zarqawi's successor may be responsible for the death of two recently captured U.S. soldiers, the actual importance of the supposed leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq continues to be questioned. Some reports suggest the opposite in fact, claiming the U.S. is using Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as a cartoon-like character to build support for the war both in Iraq and the U.S. Whether Zarqawi was just another terrorist bogeyman or was an actual power player in Iraq's future seems somewhat irrelevant, however, as the so-called "insurgency" grows in strength. Regardless, Japan is not waiting around any longer and will likely have pulled out all 550 troops by the end of July.
