The launch of the Israeli operation Just Punishment in Lebanon on 12th of July 2006 has diverted the attention from the situation in Gaza. The eyes of the international community being riveted to South Lebanon and North Israel, the Israeli army was free to intensify the Summer rains operation, which started on the 28 of June after the capture of Corporal Guilad Shalit by a Palestinian commando. This commando infiltrated Israeli territory using a tunnel of several hundreds meters, excavated underneath the fenced of frontier. A technique the Palestinians master well and which they also use to smuggle weapons from Egypt.
