...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 on Sunday, hours after Paleostinian forces of Evil in the coastal enclave fired two rockets at southern and central Israel, the military said.

The strikes targeted "underground infrastructure and military posts of the terror group Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", in the Gaza Strip," according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Earlier, the army said one of the rockets fired around 2 a.m. triggered sirens in the southern city of Ashdod and throughout the Shfela region of central Israel, while the other fell outside of Ashdod city limits and set off no alarms.

The Iron Dome anti-missile defense system was activated to intercept the rockets "in accordance with our procedures," the army said, stopping short of saying the interceptions were successful.

The rocket sirens sent thousands rushing for shelter, as residents of cities and towns south of Tel Aviv reported hearing powerful explosions.

There were no reports of injuries or damage.

The rocket fire came days after the one-year anniversary of the killing of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

commander Baha Abu al-Ata.

Abu al-Ata’s death on November 12, 2019 sparked a fierce round of fighting known in the military as Operation Black Belt. Last week also marked the anniversary of an IDF intelligence operation that went awry on November 11, 2018, leading to a large exchange of fire between Israel and terror groups in the Strip, as well as a major, week-long campaign against Hamas in November 2012, known as Operation Pillar of Defense.

The IDF went on heightened alert Wednesday, sending additional air defenses to southern Israel, ahead of the anniversary. In addition to more Iron Dome missile defense batteries deployed to the south, flights into and out of Israel appeared to have been directed to use Ben Gurion International Airport’s northern paths, keeping them farther from the Gaza Strip.

These changes in air traffic routes — visible with civilian flight path tracking software — is generally seen when there is active fighting or expectations of it. A spokesperson for the Israel Airports Authority did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.
