IAF Planes, Helicopters Hit 34 Terror Targets In Gaza
2014-07-01
[Ynet] Rocket from Gazoo strikes Eshkol Regional Council damaging vehicles, 4 maimed, 1 missing in Gazoo after IAF strikes.

The IDF spokesperson confirmed late Tuesday night that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) had carried out 34 attacks on terrorist targets in several different sections of the Gazoo Strip, targeting structures and even some open areas.

According to the reports, one of the areas was a site in the area of Khan Yunis controlled by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,' military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades where 4 were said to be maimed and another missing.

Attacks were also reported near Rafah in the southern area of the Strip on structures belonging to other terrorist organizations active in the area.

According to the Paleostinians, an Israeli helizap near Beit Lahia caused significant damage to houses belonging to local residents.

The IDF Spokesperson said that the Monday night attack was in response to a rocket fired earlier by Paleostinian bully boyz that struck an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council.

No injuries or damage was reported as a result of the initial rocket fire, but three additional rockets were launched from Gazoo after the IAF attacks. One fell in an open area in Sdot Negev while another caused damage to several vehicles in a village near the Eshkol Regional Council.

The last rocket set a fire near a packaging factory in Eshkol, but no injuries were reported and the fire was successfully extinguished.

Paleostinian media also reported the death of another man in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank after festivities broke out with IDF troops in the area

Earlier in the day the bodies of the three kidnapped Israeli teens who were kidnapped over two weeks ago were discovered by security forces just north of Hebron.

The Cabinet concluded a meeting in the evening regarding Israel's reaction to Hamas after the discovery of the three murdered teens. Additional meetings are expected as the Cabinet discussions only finished after midnight Monday without reaching any concrete decisions.

The two prime suspects in the kidnapping, Amar Abu-Eisha, 33, and Marwan Kawasmeh, 29, haven't yet been captured and IDF officials vowed Monday that operations against Hamas would continue.

One hundred Paleostinians rioted near the home of Kawasmeh in the evening. They rolled garbage bins and threw rocks at IDF forces. The soldiers responded with crowd dispersal measures, like tear gas.

In several places, rioters also burned tires. Earlier Monday, Paleostinians clashed with IDF forces in the Halhul area, where the bodies of the boys were discovered. Some 200 Paleostinians threw rocks at security forces, who responded with riot dispersal measures.

Dozens of settlers gathered in a junction nearby, waiving Israeli flags and blocking the passage of vehicles with Paleostinian license plates.

After the discovery of the boys' bodies, the IDF blocked off all the entrances to Hebron.

#6  Iranians and Hezbollah might be a bit preoccupied these days. Gazooks would be wise to lay low but, of course, we all know that wisdom is not their strong suit.

#5  Maybe they can dig a deep moat around Gaza and fill it with sharks with laser beams on their heads?

I say build a tall wall around gaza and then fill it with water. And sharks with laser beams on their heads.

#2  139 square miles of Gaza / 34 strikes is about a strike every 4 square miles. A busy night. I bet it was colorful!

#1  More until they stop. If not, either wall off Gaza or annex and deport.
