Israel strikes Hamas posts in Gaza after rocket-fire
 [IsraelTimes] Military says it targeted infrastructure in north and south of enclave following earlier launch that hit Sha’ar Hanegev region.The Israeli Air Force on Monday night struck two Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, infrastructure targets in the north and south of the Gazoo Strip, the military said. The IDF said the strikes came in response to a rocket launch from the Strip earlier in the night. Strikes were recorded in at least three locations in Gazoo, Paleostinian sources and eyewitnesses said, with Hamas bases struck near the southern city of Rafah and Gazoo City in the north, as well as open land southeast of Gazoo City. Gazoo health officials said there were no immediate reports of injuries, but an AFP photographer in Gazoo saw at least one man bleeding being taken for treatment from a house near the base. Earlier a rocket hit southern Israel, in the Sha’ar Hanegev region, not causing any damage or casualties. The launch was claimed by a salafist ...also known as Wahhabis, salafists are against innovation in religion or in anything else. They eat the same things every meal of every day and all their children are named Abdullah or Mohammed. Not all salafists are takfiris, but all takfiris are salafists. They are fond of praying five times a day and killing infidels... group linked to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... , according to Hebrew media reports. Israel says it holds Hamas responsible for any attacks emanating from the territory it controls, and has in the past responded to any launch with strikes on Hamas targets. Hamas rulers said earlier this month it was not interested in a fresh round of conflict, even as electricity cuts requested by Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... , and facilitated by Israel, threatened to lead to new violence. Abbas has led a high-stakes campaign to weaken Hamas by gradually reducing the flow of electricity to the territory he lost to the terrorist group in 2007. Egypt has since stepped in to ship in fuel to make up for most of the power cuts, though its not clear how long the shipments will continue. On Monday, the Haaretz daily reported that human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. groups and officials in Gazoo suspect Abbas is also attempting to keep Gazooks from being able to seek medical attention in Israel as a means of ramping up pressure. Israeli security concerns have shifted in the last few days to the northern border, where fighting in neighboring Syria has bled into Israel, with fire from mortars and small arms hitting in the Golan Heights. Israel has struck back at Syrian regime targets several times in retaliation. Earlier Monday, Defense Minister Avidgor Liberman said Israel has "no intention of launching a military operation" against Syria or Gazoo. But Liberman added that despite the military establishment’s hope for calm on Israel’s borders, it will not tolerate any provocations, even accidental fire that spills over from a neighboring conflict.
