IDF bombs Hamas positions in Gaza after rocket attacks
2017-12-08
[IsraelTimes] An Israel Defense Forces tank and aircraft carried out strikes on two Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, positions in the Gazoo Strip on Thursday evening in retaliation for Paleostinian rocket attacks.

The strikes came as a terrorist group in the Strip launched a rocket that hit an open field in the south of the country, after two previous attacks that failed to reach Israeli territory, the army said.

The retaliatory strikes targeted Hamas positions even though a different group, the 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...
Tawhid al-Jihad, took responsibility for the launches.

"The IDF holds Hamas responsible for the hostile activity perpetrated against Israel from the Gazoo Strip," the army said in a statement.

A military spokesperson said the incoming rocket alert siren was not activated by the third launch ‐ as it was by the first two ‐ because the system detected that the projectile was not heading toward a populated area.

"When it’s going to an open field, we try not to scare the public," the spokesperson said.

The first two launches set off the alarm shortly after 6 p.m., in the Hof Ashkelon and Sha’ar Hanegev regions, northeast of the Gazoo Strip.

The IDF sent soldiers to inspect the area for signs of impact, but, finding none, determined that the two rockets had not reached Israeli territory, a spokesperson said.

In the hours afterward, the Tawhid al-Jihad group grabbed credit for the attack on social media. The small, radical group is affiliated with al-Qaeda.
