RT: Israeli tanks fire into Gaza in response to alleged cross-border gunfire

[RT] Israeli tanks have fired into the Gazoo Strip in response to shots fired from there at Israeli troops, the IDF said, adding that none of its soldiers were maimed in the gunfire.

The tanks aimed at Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, positions, according to the Israeli Army’s statement on Twitter. The fire destroyed a Hamas military post, Ynet news reported.

The IDF launched three tank shells at the post, which is located east of Bureij, according to Paleostinian sources, cited by Ynet.

It comes a day after Hamas accused Israel of killing its drone expert, Mohhamed Zawari nicknamed ’The Engineer’, in Tunisia over the weekend.

The Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, said he had collaborated with them for 10 years, as cited by Rooters.

Tensions between the Lion of Islam group and Israel are running high. About a week ago, a Gazoo-based Hamas official, Fathi Hammad, told al-Aqsa TV channel, that the Lion of Islam group was ready to share its Qassam rockets with any Arab army willing to fight the Jewish state.

#1 According to The Times of Israel, the Gazan(s) shot at Israeli troops repairing the border fence, a common occurrence. As is the Israeli response.

#4 There are two kinds of men in this world, my friend: on with a Merkava and the other with a Kalashnikov! The one with a Kalashnikov digs (his grave)!
