On the fifth day of Operation 'Cast Lead' Israel has continued to pound targets all over Gaza and no letup seems to be in sight. Needless to say that Hamas has continued its rocket fire and today they shot further into Israel than they ever have before. Reports on casualties varied late this evening but from what I see... it’s probably around 390/400 Dead and at least 1,700 Wounded.

Being it’s New Year’s Eve and my wife is telling me to get off the computer today... I’ll leave you with the following reports of this ongoing conflict as it is being reported...
