At the moment the world's attention is on the situation in Gaza - and
needless to say I earnestly hope for the safe return of the Israeli

steal some land they have long coveted.

The current action in Gaza seems to be motivated more by that objective
than the purported rescue of the unfortunate soldier. I fail to see how
the destruction of a power station furthers their claimed objective.
Motivated more by spite ISTM.
