...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.

in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday morning in response to three rockets that were fired into Israel from the Strip, the army said.

Israel Defense Forces aircraft attacked several targets near Khan Younis in southern Gaza, according to Paleostinian media reports.

"A short time ago IDF warplanes attacked terror targets belonging to Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, in the southern Gaza Strip. A site for manufacturing weapons for Hamas’s military wing was attacked. The attack was a blow to Hamas’s ability to further arm itself," the IDF said in a statement.

"The attack was carried out in response to high altitude fire and balloon explosives from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory today," the statement said.

At least three rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel shortly after midnight, setting off rocket sirens in southern Israeli communities.

"An alarm was activated in the city of Netivot and in the area around Gaza," the IDF said in a statement. "Following the alarm, three launches were identified from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory."

Two people were lightly injured while rushing for bomb shelters, Army Radio reported. There were no reports of the Iron Dome missile defense system being activated.

A total of 13 rockets have been fired into Israel in the past week, the IDF said.

The area has seen a marked increase in violence in recent days days, with near daily rocket fire and launches of suspected balloon borne bombs, drawing retaliatory airstrikes and punitive measures.
