Reservists picnic before battle

[bemildred]

Late Sunday night, IDF spokesman Brig.-Gen Avi Benayahu confirmed that the army had begun sending reserve units into the Gaza Strip, answering the question on the lips of many of the thousands of anxious reservists training for the past eight days in the southern military base of Tze'elim.

"It's not that we really want to go in," one of the reservists told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday afternoon. "We just want to know what is going to happen with us."

While the reservists had been instructed not to speak to reporters, one soldier, speaking on condition of anonymity, was willing to say that it had been a long training session and that "no one knows what it's for."

Half of the soldiers training at the mock Arab city at Tze'elim were dressed as Arabs and the other half as IDF soldiers. They used blank cartridges as they practiced close quarters urban combat within a crowded Muslim city complete with mosques, banks and other urban features.

1. I guess they could get rid of the Mosques in their fake Arab city

considering they bombed 17 already in Gaza...

3. Thats a good argument, "there are plenty left!"

I guess they haven't bombed every school yet, so hey what is the worry?

And, I am not so sure there are 'thousands' of Mosques in Gaza.
