Hamas is itching for a confrontation, they are part of the PA now and the great 'Arab braggadocio' is in full bloom today... I say IDF give it to them! 3 Grad rockets explode near Beersheba Day after two Gaza rockets fired at Ashkelon and Eshkol Regional Council, another projectile explodes outside Negev city Ilana Curiel YNET Published: 02.18.12, 12:45 / Israel News http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4191301,00.html A Grad rocket fired by Palestinian terrorists in north Gaza on Saturday landed in an open area outside the city of Beersheba in south Israel. Residents reported hearing explosions, but there were no reports of injury or damage. Two more rockets fired toward the western Negev region landed in open areas as well. At around 11:30 am a siren was heard in Beersheba and the Bnei Shimon Regional Council, while the "Color Red" alert system was activated in a number of Israeli communities surrounding the Gaza Strip. Beersheba's mayor stressed that the southern city did not suffer a direct hit. Omer resident Hagar Shalev told Ynet she was at the parking lot of a large hardware store when its employees were ordered to enter secure rooms. "I stood there with other shoppers; we didn't know what to do, and they locked the (store's) doors on us. "Then we heard a loud boom. I wasn't frightened. We remained calm," she said. Tamar, who also lives in Omer, said "the children were a bit scared, but they are used to sirens. We entered the kitchen and waited till we heard the explosions. We wont let this ruin our Shabbat." On Friday, a rocket launched from Gaza landed south of Ashkelon. There were no reports of injury or damage in that attack either. A Qassam rocket also landed in the Negev's Eshkol Regional Council, without causing injuries or damage. -------------------------------------------- IMRA - Independent Media Review and Analysis Website: www.imra.org.il
this will go on until Hamas is eradicated. They need to allow Israel to kill these people where they live.
Genocide is certainly want the Israeli government seeks, but the Holocaust showed that even Genocides do not eradicate the hated Semites.
Correction. No evidence exists to prove that Hamas is responsible. Hamas has maintained a tacit truce with Israel, but other armed groups regularly fire rockets across the border, usually sparking retaliatory air strikes. http://www.google.com/hostednews/af...ocId=CNG.c32f6e53d43383b5da1382ade9b053f1.1e1
Hamas entire existence is based on Nazi-Like Jew hatred and following the Quran which calls for killing all Jews.
Immediate counter-battery fire is needed. If Pals are hit- too bad; don't host terrorism in your backyards. _
Release Khader Adnan. His detainment is justification for rockets. After all, "Israel" starts wars when "Israeli" soldiers are taken.
Despite the tremendous expertise of previous Posts , the actual position is that Hamas is " treading water" presently . They have withdrawn from Damascus and sensibly are watching which direction the wind will blow and with what strength . Although sponsored by Iran and elements within Lebanon , Syria has always been a very close friend and a conduit for all sorts of things . Hamas do love firing rockets into Israel and who is to say that there are not extreme small Hamas groups who hate this period of waiting and even went against orders .Or simply too much of the naughty stuff on a Saturday night
Such also does not prove that Hamas was involved. Israel needs to learn how to support its hate-propaganda with evidence. It seems that Israel insults and condemns Semites simply because it cannot prove that they did anything wrong.
Call it as you wish. Holocaust abuse Israel seems to honor the genocide of hated Semites, especially when claims made against them can't be proven.
As turning a faucet shuts off water, stopping the Pal rocket terrorism would stop the counter-battery fire. Who isn't stopping the rockets? _
Collective punishment is certainly less Holocaust abuse than Genocide, but even the practice of collective punishment against hated Semites doesn't prove that Hamas was involved.
Every dumbass knows that the neoZionists are already trying that. The Palestinian fire is in retaliation.
You do realize that Israeli forces shelled Gaza east of Breij refugee camp on Friday, and Israeli airstrikes injured six people in the Gaza Strip overnight on Wednesday. And on Saturday Israel launched airstrikes injuring four civilians. In particular, hitting a blacksmiths workshop in a neighborhood (wounding one man). And today (Sunday) a missile hit another neighborhood injuring three more civilians in Gaza.
Counter-battery fire is a military tactic to destroy enemy artillery. It is not collective punishment. The IDF should just take the gloves off, and fight with ruthless military efficiency. The Pals will soon tire of hosting terrorist Pal rocket teams. _
If it wasn't in the funny papers they'd have missed it. They'll get all the ' ruthless military efficiency ' they can handle when they turn their attention away from civilians and face some anti-Zionist expertise.
Syria has killed more Arabs in last 11 months than Israel has Killed Arabs (Throughout the World) in the last 30 years
