" Well the Middle East now new violence threatening the truce between Israel and Gaza. Israeli jets taking aim at the tunnels used by Hamas to swell militants to smuggle weapons it into -- Israel is trying to destroy those -- And Hamas militants are not happy about it they've been firing up the use of these tunnels since the truce was called. And we go live to like. Mike Tobin who is live in Jerusalem with the very latest on this -- all right so. The -- we saw a lot of during the three week war that were being used to smuggle arms and consolidating before the war that they try to take those out Israel did. Since the truth gets called the tunnel to resume work. So so now what is happening."
" But what happened really started yesterday there was a bomb that was placed along a patrol road that runs all along the Gaza border. That went off killed one Israeli soldier and injured two more now Israel immediately returned fire at issue what Palestinians identified as a farmer they also had an air strike on a motorcycle that was carrying one Palestinian militants he wasn't killed. Then today Israel went back to the work a bombing along the de Gaza Egypt border trying to collapse those tunnels once again. But you have to remember back to the end of the war Ehud Olmert the Israeli prime minister said. If there is fire that comes out of the Gaza Strip the retaliation will be severe the popular thinking right now. Thus far we haven't seen severe retaliation. Don't be surprised if you see more military action on the part of Israel."
" All right so with all these different Palestinian groups do we do we know. That Hamas was behind this."
" Now in fact the put that thinking that we're getting from the intelligence community right now is that Hamas was not behind this. This was a yes small group that identifies more with the global Jihad -- groups like al-Qaeda and less with Hamas but Israel doesn't care. Their position is that Hamas is in charge of the Gaza Strip therefore any fire coming out of by the Gaza Strip has the responsibility of Hamas Hamas gets the retaliatory fire. I'm Mike Tobin -- from the Middle East. "
