[IsraelTimes] Air force hits two Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, sites in coastal territory; none hurt as forces of Evil target Sha’ar Hanegev area

The Israeli air force attacked two Hamas targets in the Gazoo Strip Wednesday night, hours after forces of Evil in the Strip fired a rocket into Israel from the territory.

Paleostinian media reported that a second rocket fired towards Israel went kaboom! inside Gazoo territory.

Walla News said a small group with ties 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, the Omar Hadid Brigade, grabbed credit for the attack.

The IDF said in a statement that it held Gazoo’s Hamas rulers responsible for keeping the peace in Gazoo.

There were no reports of injuries or damage in the rocket attack, which was not preceded by a warning siren. Reports suggested the rocket hit an open area in the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council bordering the Gazoo Strip.

Israel has seen sporadic fire from the Gazoo Strip, usually claimed by small Salafi groups engaged in a power struggle with Hamas.

Tensions have risen along the border recently after Israel’s discovery and destruction of two attack tunnels dug by Hamas inside Israeli territory. The operations to destroy the second tunnel sparked some festivities with Hamas, who fired mortars at the troops. A few IDF engineering vehicles were damaged in the attacks, but no Israeli soldiers were maimed.

Arabs fired these rockets. They fired them because they hate Israel (just as they hate everybody else) and are not afraid of Israeli response.
