Hamas second 'mistaken' rocket fire from Gaza
2019-03-16
[Ynet] Gazoo' rulers are facing a twofold problem ‐ protests within the territory under its control, and a lack of progress in talks with Israel; so one may be forgiven for viewing their claim of an accidental launch with some skepticism.

After Thursday night's lack of clarity in the wake over the origins of the two rockets fired from Gazoo at the Tel Aviv area, the IDF on Friday morning stated that the Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, terror organization was behind the attack. One of the rockets landed in an unpopulated area and the second apparently disintegrated in midair.

The IDF also assessed that the rockets were fired by mistake. But given that this is not the first time that this has happened, we can allow ourselves to be a little skeptical.

#2  Oh, it was a mistake? Next time maybe you'll be a little more careful!

#1  So, how does that work?:
Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system was activated as a result of the launches, which caused no injuries or property damage. It was believed the Hamas rockets landed in open areas.

Police said they found remains of one rocket in an uninhabited area “in central Israel.”

Just after dawn Friday, six more missiles were fired from Gaza toward Israeli border towns but all but one were intercepted by the Iron Dome
system, the military said.

Both Hamas, the Islamist movement that runs Gaza, and its ally Islamic Jihad denied they were behind the rocket fire — but the IDF said they were launched by Hamas.
