Thanks for helping man the fort!
Percussion bombs are being used in Gaza, just reported.
I assume these are the ones that cause the severe head injuries to even troops on the ground? Am I right, can anybody confirm?

Later in the day, the IDF, via its @IDFSpokesperson Twitter account, issued a transparent threat:
"We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead."
The @AlqassamBrigade account of Hamas's military wing account quickly retorted: "@IDFSpokesperson Our blessed hands will reach your leaders and soldiers wherever they are (You Opened Hell Gates on Yourselves)."
Social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook have been used to galvanise political protest in the Middle East and elsewhere, but this is the first time either has been used for such blatantly belligerent purposes.
The IDF is everywhere online it seems, including Tumblr.
