Israel fires back at Gaza
The Israeli air force attacked three buildings in the Gaza Strip early Saturday, the first airstrikes since Israel withdrew from Gaza last week after 38 years of occupation, the army said. Hospital officials said three people were hurt.
I hope they become "stable."
The attacks, which Israel said targeted terrorist militant weapons facilities, came after terrorists militants fired 21 homemade rockets from the Gaza Strip into the Israeli town of Sderot, injuring five Israelis, the army said. Hamas claimed responsibility for many of the rockets, blaming Israel for a blastnd a weapons factory and warehouse in Gaza City.
One missile landed in a field near an abandoned workshop where terrorists militants used to make homemade rockets in Gaza City, according to security officials. The owner of the workshop, Mahed Abu Assi, 42, denied that it was used to produce weapons.
"Nope. Not weapons. They were fireworks for celebrating."
The second airstrike hit a garage outside the house of a Hamas terrorist fighter. The third landed near the house of an Islamic Jihad terrorist militant in Gaza City.
Before leaving Gaza last week, Israeli officials said they would deal harshly with any attacks originating from the volatile coastal strip.
We're still waiting to see something harsh.
Terrorists Militants fired a total of 30 homemade rockets from Gaza into Israel since Friday afternoon. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the first wave, saying they were retaliation for an Israeli raid near the West Bank town of Tulkarem that killed three Islamic Jihad terrorists militants.
Hamas spokesman Mushir al Masri said the group would retaliate for the airstrikes.
How dare you strike back at us.
