Air raid sirens sound in Israel after rocket fired from Gaza, bomb shelters opened, IDF response planned
2021-08-17
[NYPOST] Air raid sirens sounded in southern Israel on Monday after a rocket was fired from 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 oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, the first since the 11-day war between Israel and Paleostinian hard boyz in May.

The Israeli military said in a statement that it identified one rocket launch that was intercepted by aerial defense batteries.

Amateur video footage appeared to show the rocket being intercepted over the southern town of Sderot.

The rocket fire could jeopardize three months of relative calm since Israel and the hard boy group Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,, which rules the Gaza Strip, struck a cease-fire.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rocket fire. It came hours after Israeli troops clashed with Paleostinian button men during a late-night arrest raid in the occupied West Bank, killing four Paleostinians in one of the deadliest battles in the area in years.

The fighting erupted in Jenin, a city in the northern West Bank where tensions have been high since a man was killed in fighting with Israel earlier this month.

Israel’s paramilitary border police said its forces were attempting to arrest a suspect when they "came under heavy fire from close range" by a number of button men. It said Israeli forces returned fire, and none of its officers were maimed.

The official Paleostinian news agency WAFA said four men were killed by Israeli fire and a fifth was seriously maimed.

Amateur footage from the scene appeared to show an intense exchange of gunfire in the streets of Jenin.

Senior Paleostinian official Hussein Al Sheikh accused Israel of "a heinous crime" and tweeted that "the international community should be ashamed of its silence about this and its failure to provide protection to the Paleostinian people from this oppression."
The Times of Israel adds:
Paleostinian faceless myrmidons fired two rockets from the Gazoo Strip toward the town of Sderot on Monday afternoon in what appeared to be the first such attack since May’s 11-day conflict in the Paleostinian enclave, the military said.

The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted one of the rockets, while the second landed inside the Gaza Strip. The attack triggered sirens in Sderot, as well as the the communities of Ivim, Nir Am and Erez in the Sha’ar Hanegev region of southern Israel, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The launch came after repeated threats by Paleostinian terror groups in recent weeks over the slow pace of Gaza reconstruction and the entrance of Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world.

The various terror groups in the Gaza Strip, chiefly Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", and the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. 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...
— known collectively as the joint operations room — were scheduled to gather later Monday to determine how to proceed in their ongoing ceasefire negotiations with Israel, but called off their meeting, apparently fearing an IDF strike.
Another Times of Israel article adds:
The Islamic Jihad’s military wing, the al-Quds Brigades, acknowledged that one of the people killed, Nour Jarrar, was a member of the organization, distributing a photograph of him aiming an assault rifle.

"The blood of our deaders will not be spilled in vain," the al-Quds Brigades said in a statement.

Two other suspects killed in the shootout — 19-year-old Ra’ed Abu Seif and 21-year-old Saleh Amar — were identified as being members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

The fourth person killed, Amjad Husseineh, was later claimed by the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group as one of its members. Hamas said Husseineh had perished during "heroic fighting at dawn in Jenin."
