In ceasefire breach, rockets fired at Beersheba; IDF hits Hamas targets in Gaza

 [IsraelTimes] Army says it strikes terror group, which sat out last round of fighting as Israel traded blows with 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...

The Israel Defense Forces attacked Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, terror targets in 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 ...
on Saturday morning after rockets were fired from the Strip into Israel several hours earlier, the army said in a statement.
Significantly, the army said it was targeting Hamas in the latest strike. During the this week’s fighting, Israel traded blows with the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, while the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group sat on the sidelines.
Paleostinian security sources said the Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
s hit two Hamas sites in the northern part of the Strip.
Earlier, two rockets were fired toward Beersheba in the predawn hours of Saturday morning in a fresh breach of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Gaza terror groups.
Both projectiles were shot down by soldiers operating the Iron Dome missile defense system, the IDF said.
The rockets set off warning sirens in Beersheba for the first time this week.
The Magen David Adom emergency and rescue service said it was treating five people for anxiety and four who were maimed while running to bomb shelters following the attack.
On Friday Hamas acknowledged that one of its operatives had been killed during fighting this week.
The Izz Ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, said Ahmed Abdel al-A’al was one its members. A statement from the group did not clarify whether he was taking part in fighting when he died.
According to the military wing, al-A’al, 23, and two of his teenage brothers were killed in a "Zionist bombardment" on Wednesday.
The outbreak of violence in the early hours of Saturday morning came as Israelis had started recovering from two days of intense fighting between Israel and Gaza terror groups.
From the predawn Tuesday to Thursday morning, Israel and Islamic Jihad fought a battle in which over 450 rockets and mortar shells were fired at Israel from Gaza, and the IDF responded with dozens of airstrikes on Islamic Jihad facilities and on the terror cells as they were firing and preparing to launch rockets.
The escalation began when an IDF targeted missile strike killed Baha Abu al-Ata, a commander in the Islamic Jihad terror group who Israel said was the "prime instigator" of terrorism from Gaza over the past year.
Paleostinian sources said 34 Gazooks were killed in the two days of conflict. Israel said 25 of the fatalities were terrorists; human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty ...
officials said 16 civilians were among the dead.
Fifty-eight Israelis were lightly and moderately injured or treated for anxiety.
Most of the rockets from Gaza either landed in open fields or were intercepted by Israeli air defenses. Some struck homes, businesses and streets, causing injuries and significant property damage. Dozens of people were also hurt as they fell running to bomb shelters.
In response to the attacks, the Israeli military conducted dozens of strikes on Islamic Jihad bases and weapons facilities, as well as rocket-launching teams throughout the Strip. The Hamas terror group, which rules the Strip, refrained from partaking in the violence.
Israel and Islamic Jihad agreed to a ceasefire on Thursday morning, although there were four rocket attacks throughout the day Thursday and the IDF attacked Islamic Jihad targets in Gaza overnight in response.
On Friday schools remained closed in the Gaza periphery, but at noon local councils announced a return to normal life.
Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the head of the Israeli military’s Southern Command, warned Gaza-area residents Thursday that the rocket fire might continue even with the ceasefire agreement in place.
The general said the IDF would be working to thwart these attacks. "If we identity launch efforts, we will strike the cells," Halevi said. Other Israeli leaders have warned they would not hesitate to return to battle.
Islamic Jihad’s military wing also threatened Israel that it was ready to continue fighting.According to the Ynet news site, the decision to halt combat had led to a major rift within Islamic Jihad,
with the organization’s political wing supporting the ceasefire while the military wing wanted to keep fighting. Palestinian sources told the website that officials in the military wing were demanding that the group quit the joint war room of Gaza’s armed factions over Hamas’s decision not to participate in this week’s combat.

Islamic Jihad used new rocket with huge 300kg warhead during fighting
[IsraelTimes] Channel 12 says rocket, which left a massive crater in southern Israel, was developed with help of Iranian engineers. Islamic Jihad received hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance from Iran, which hopes to use its proxies in Gaza and Lebanon to fire thousands of missiles at Israel in the event of a conflict.
