| [IsraelTimes] Loud kabooms echoed across Gazoo early Sunday morning, as Israeli planes bombed sites in the Paleostinian enclave, hours after at least two rockets were shot at Israel. Bombings were reported in areas around Khan Yunis and Rafah, in the southern end of the strip, starting at about 3:30 a.m, according to Paleostinian sources. There was no immediate word on casualties or damage. The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that it had targeted three "terror sites" in the southern strip and one in the center. It said direct strikes had been confirmed. Paleostinians reported that sites belonging to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Muslim 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... had been targeted. The air strikes came a day after Gazook turbans fired several rockets at Israel, all which landed in open areas or failed to clear that Paleostinian enclave. The last 10 days have seen an uptick in tit-for-tat Gazook rocket fire and Israeli strikes as tensions have ramped up in the wake of the kidnapping of three Israeli teens in the West Bank, followed by a massive Israeli operation to recover them and destroy the Islamist Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, movement. On Thursday evening two rockets were fired into Israel, prompting the Israeli Air Force to strike five targets in the Gazoo Strip overnight, saying it attacked three concealed rocket launchers in the northern Gazoo Strip, a terror activity site in the central Gazoo Strip and a weapons storage facility in the southern Gazoo Strip. The IDF regularly retaliates with air strikes in response to rocket attacks. "We have repeatedly addressed the consequences facing those who seek to endanger the lives of innocent civilians," IDF front man Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said in a statement regarding Thursday's strikes. "We shall persist with our determination to combat terror elements and eliminate the pending threat to Israeli lives." |
