Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
launched a fresh wave of rocket attacks in Israel this afternoon, destroying a children's hospital and a supermarket.
Without those two, the Zionist military capability is in ruins!
Shocking footage from the southern city of Ashkelon shows the Barzilai Medical Centre in ruins with the children's wing taking a direct hit.
Pictures also show the remains of a supermarket in the city, surrounded by debris and marked by a large crater.
The strikes were among many launched by Hamas and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...

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 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.

's two million residents lost electricity as the enclave's sole power plant ran out of fuel and shut down.
My heart bleebs. Whatever that is.
The outage deepens the crisis inside the 140-square-mile territory, with Israeli forces lining up on the border ahead of a planned invasion.
The war has claimed at least 2,200 lives on both sides and is only expected to escalate further from this point. Humanitarian groups have pleaded for the creation of aid corridors ahead of the likely Israeli assault.
As fears mounted inside the enclave of an imminent assault, an Israeli defence official vowed that Gaza will become a 'tent city' with every building razed.
In the early hours, Israeli forces conducted 250 airstrikes in just one hour across northern and eastern parts of the Gaza strip in Dire Revenge for Hamas' terror attacks.
Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) front man Jonathan Conricus said they are sending 'infantry, armoured soldiers, artillery corps', plus 300,000 reservists 'close to the Gaza Strip to execute the mission that we have been given by the Israeli government'.
Mr Conricus added: 'That is to make sure that Hamas at the end of this war won't have any military capabilities by which they can threaten or kill Israeli civilians.'
There shouldn't be any Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
In another sign that an attack is imminent, Israeli officials have told residents living close to the border with Gaza to prepare to remain in shelters for 72 hours, and to stock up on food and water. Some have begun to evacuate.
Clashes between Israeli forces and Hamas have continued around the border, with fierce gun fighting between Israeli Border Guards and Hamas attackers in the southern cities of Sderot and Ashkelon.
A series of rocket salvos from Gaza also hit Sderot this morning, injuring at least one civilian and damaging five buildings.
Three Israeli soldiers were killed in a confrontation with 'terrorist infiltrators' to the north on the frontier with Leb

Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, where Paleostinian Islamic Jihad fighters and Lebanon's Hezbollah had launched attacks and rocket strikes.
On Saturday, the armed wing of Hamas streamed across the Gaza border fence and launched a ruthless attack on unsuspecting soldiers and civilians in what EU chief Ursula von der Leyen has described as an 'act of war'.At least 169 Israeli soldiers have been killed in fighting with Hamas, the army said on Wednesday. 'As of this morning, we've informed the families of 169 fallen IDF soldiers,' military front man Daniel Hagari told news hounds.
In Israel, the corpse count from Saturday's assault rose to 1,200 - making it the deadliest attack in the country's 75-year history, while Gaza officials reported more than 900 people have been killed as Israel pounded the territory with air strikes.
One key target was the al-Furqan neighborhood - so named after a mosque in the area - which defense officials said is a 'nest of terror' used by Hamas to launch attacks against Israel.
Hamas said two of its brass hats had been killed, while Israel's military said the bodies of roughly 1,500 Hamas infiltrators had been found.
Swathes of the densely-populated Gaza have already been reduced to rubble, photos emerging on Tuesday showed.
Images later emerged appearing to show trails of phosphorus munitions being used over Gaza - something Paleostinian sources had alleged. The use of such weapons in civilian areas is considered a war crime. Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defense minister, said he has 'released all restraints' on the troops in their fight against Hamas.
'Hamas wanted a change and it will get one. What was in Gaza will no longer be,' he said, speaking to soldiers near the Gaza fence.
'We started the offensive from the air, later on we will also come from the ground. We've been controlling the area since Day Two and we are on the offensive. It will only intensify.'
Gallant promised to show no mercy to the terrorists.
'Whoever comes to decapitate, murder women, Holocaust survivors — we will eliminate him at the height of our power and without compromise.'
Fears of a regional conflagration have surged ahead of an expected Israeli ground incursion into Gaza.
Dozens were killed and hundreds maimed as Israel pounded the Gaza Strip with hundreds of air strikes overnight, a Hamas government official said Wednesday.
The strikes destroyed several buildings of the Hamas-linked Islamic University in Gaza City, a university official said.
The Israeli military confirmed it had hit dozens of Hamas targets during the night.
It said fighter jets destroyed 'advanced detection systems' that Hamas used to spot military aircraft.
They also hit 80 Hamas targets in the Beit Hanoun area of the northeastern Gaza Strip, including two bank branches used by the Islamist group to 'fund terrorism' in the enclave, the military said.
In response to Saturday's attack, Israel imposed a 'total siege' on Gaza, suspending supplies of food, water, electricity and fuel to the already blockaded enclave.
Today's airstrikes came as the barbarity of Hamas' attacks on Israel was becoming apparent, with ever-more savage behavior being described.
At the Be'eri kibbutz, 100 people - 10 percent of the population - were murdered.
David Ben Zion, Deputy Commander of Unit 71, told i24News that he had seen victims rubbed out in their beds.
