Granted unprecedented access to the front lines of Israel’s troop positions near the Gaza border, Hughes’ seemed to be describing a military build-up on the scale of the raid on Normandy. Take the headline as a dramatic example:

“Ruthless armoured grip?” “Israeli blitz?” Heavy words to describe mundane preparations for a ground attack that didn’t happen.

Oh well.  As they say, truth is the first casualty of war.

    I assume it must have been a slow news day when you wrote this article. “Ruthless armoured grip”? Come on. After many years of the rockets raining down on Israel and suicide bombers, Israel had no choice but to retaliate. Get up from behind your desk and spend a few weeks in Israel and then maybe just maybe we will be able to read an unbiased article.
