Israeli aircraft strikes Gaza after Palestinian mortar fire

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Israel launched an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
against 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...
’s Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, rulers on Tuesday after Lions of Islam in the strip fired a mortar round across the border, the army said.

Witnesses in the coastal enclave told AFP that fire from an Israeli drone hit Hamas facilities east of al-Bureij refugee camp.

No injuries were reported.

"A short while ago a mortar shell was identified as having been fired from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory," an Israeli army statement said in English.

"In response, an Israel Defense Forces aircraft targeted a Hamas military post in the northern Gaza Strip."

Israeli media said the shell fell on open ground, causing no injuries or damage.

Tuesday’s events were the latest in a string of cross-border incidents which have raised concerns of further escalation before Israel’s September 17 elections.

On Monday Israeli warplanes hit what the military said were "terror targets in a Hamas military compound in the northern Gaza Strip, including the office of a Hamas battalion commander."

Israel also announced it was slashing by half the fuel it pipes to the strip’s main power station, meaning a cut to Gaza’s already meager electricity supply.

The measures came after three rockets were fired from Gaza into southern Israel on Sunday night, according to the army, which said two of them were intercepted by air defense systems.
