Operation CAST LEAD

[MarkSheppard]

Version Four will be coming, I just noticed a throwaway line in a news report about that UNRWA school attack:

The troops had intended to launch a smart missile to take out the Palestinian launch team but a technical malfunction made this impossible, according to the probe. The commanders of the force instead decided to fire on the Qassam team with mortar shells equipped with a Global Positioning System for accurate fire.

So apparently the Israelis now have GPS guided artillery; most likely IMI has rushed pre-production prototypes of that 120mm GPS mortar bomb, and 155mm Shell that were "finishing development" in 2009 to the troops.

So expect a FO bump to take advantage of this ability, as well as a downgrade of the Merks to Merk 3s.

Also guys, by what turn are you well into fighting in the settlement?
