I do not expect the next war to be waged as the first:

I do hope though that the government comes down first, and a new one, recreated from the lessons of the last 12 months without Sharon, comes to power.

This government was created by Sharon, for Sharon, and without him, it just doesnt work.

Israel is currently destroying Hamas's ability to wage war, however, they will be faced with better weaponry from IRan and Hezbollah to counter for the reduction, (liquidation) of their fighting forces, which is currently underway.

Hezbollah nor any of the residents of the south will be given any safe passage the next time;

they were shown the door this summer, and that they chose to return and to become fodder for Iran, was their choice.

Israeli forces kill seven Palestinian gunmen in clashes in Jebalya, northern Gaza Strip on Saturday

October 14, 2006, 9:40 AM (GMT+02:00)

At least four were from Hamas and they directed anti-tank fire at Israeli troops. They were killed when an Israeli rocket hit a house. From N. Gaza, 2 Qassam rockets injured three Israelis in Shderot Friday night.

Israeli ground forces are operating in three Gaza Strip sectors to fight off Palestinian missile attacks and destroy their arsenals. They have stepped up pressure since the June kidnapping of Cpl Gideon Shalit. This operation, in its fourth day Saturday, is aimed at stemming the inflow of Iranian long-range anti-tank weapons and Grad missiles through the tunnels of the Philadelphi border strip with Egypt. Six armed Palestinians, Hamas operatives, were killed in these actions Friday and a Qassam missile workshop demolished.

Palestinians rioted at three Israeli checkpoints outside Jerusalem in protest against being denied entry to Temple Mount for the third Ramadan Friday worship. As a counter-terror measure, Palestinian entrants are restricted to men over 40; Israeli Arabs and women of all ages are admitted. Some 130,000 Muslim are gathered at the mount for the prayer.
