It looks like this is just getting started & well, I'll be damned if it doesn't need it's very own thread.

BBC said:Palestinian militant group Hamas has warned foreigners to leave Israeli soil and pledged to bomb the Israeli state into "rubble".
The group's military wing issued its statement on a day when Israeli attacks killed seven people in Gaza City and two in the West Bank town of Jenin.
The helicopter rocket attack on Gaza was the third such strike in 24 hours, and followed a suicide attack by Hamas on a Jerusalem bus on Wednesday which killed 17 people, including the bomber.
The Israeli army has been authorised to use every means to destroy the group, its radio station said on Thursday.
In its website statement, Hamas's military wing claimed responsibility for Wednesday's bomb attack in Jerusalem, naming the bomber as 18-year-old Abd-al-Muti Muhammad Salih Shabanah, of Hebron.
It described it as "the first in a new series of operations... targeting every Zionist usurping our land".
Promising to "turn the Zionist entity's state into rubble", the group told foreign citizens to leave "immediately to save their lives".
In an interview for Qatari satellite TV station al-Jazeera, a man described as a leading Hamas member in Gaza, Mahmud al-Zahhar, predicted that Palestinian attacks on Israelis were imminent "to show them that an eye is for an eye and a tooth for a tooth".
