The Israeli military struck multiple Hamas targets in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
Strip Saturday morning, including rocket launchers and underground infrastructure, the army said, in response to several salvos of rockets fired into Israel overnight.
There were no immediate reports of casualties in the Gaza strikes.
At least 20 rockets were launched from the Paleostinian territory in salvos throughout the night and into the morning, in the worst assault from the Strip in many months.
Sirens sounded in numerous Israeli communities near the Strip, including Ashkelon and the Eshkol, Sdot Negev, Sha’ar Hanegev and Hof Ashkelon regional councils.
The attack followed days of tensions and festivities in Jerusalem and the West Bank that involved Paleostinian and Israeli civilians as well as Israeli security forces.
The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted four of the projectiles. Others fell in open areas. Iron Dome is programmed to not deploy at rockets that are projected to hit non-populated areas.
No Israelis were hurt in the attacks and no damage was reported.
The rocket barrage came after hours the Hamas terror group that rules Gaza held a series of protests in the Strip and called for violence against Israel in the wake of fierce festivities Thursday in Jerusalem between police, bad boy Jewish activists and Paleostinian protesters.
Addressing the protesters, Hamas big turban Mahmoud
Warty Noseal-Zahhar
...a co-founder of Hamas and a member of its leadership. Since 2006, Warty Nose has served as foreign minister in the government of Ismail Haniyeh. He is considered one of the more stubborn hard-liners and has no objection to kissing the Persian foot to keep the money flowing. Warty Nose's son, a member of the Qassam Brigades, was killed in an Israeli raid in early 2008. Another one was disposed of when the IDF bombed his house in 2003...
condemned the decision of some Arab states to normalize relations with Israel last year and lashed out at the Paleostinian Authority in the West Bank for continuing its security coordination with Israel.
"After a long series of protests and demonstrations, we have reached the conclusion that without weapons, we cannot liberate our land, protect our holy sites, bringing back our people to their land or maintain our dignity," he said.
The attacks came during a general lull in violence from the Gaza Strip in recent months, amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and as Gaza grapples with the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...pandemic.
A single rocket was fired into Israel from Gaza last Friday. Another was fired the day before. Neither rocket caused injuries or damage, and the IDF hit Hamas targets in response.
Last month, a rocket was fired toward Beersheba as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a campaign stop in the southern city ahead of the March 23 elections.
The military did not respond to the rockets throughout the night, except for a single tank strike after the first volley that targeted a Hamas post.
