Israeli jets struck three Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, targets in the 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

Strip on Saturday night, the Israeli military said, in retaliation for Paleostinian turbans piloting an armed drone over the border earlier in the day.
The targets, in northern and central Gaza, included an equipment depot for naval warfare, and two "military centers" for Hamas’s aerial system, the Israel Defense Forces said.
"The IDF will continue to act against attempts to harm Israeli citizens, and holds the Paleostinian terror group Hamas responsible for everything that takes place in the Gaza Strip, and which emanates from there," the military said in a statement.
Earlier Saturday, Gaza turbans piloted an armed drone into Israel, the IDF said. It did not specify if the explosive detonated, but said a military vehicle was lightly damaged in the incident.
The IDF said it shot up the cell responsible for the drone. No Israeli soldiers were hurt and there were no immediate reports of Paleostinian injuries.

s came hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hamas that Israel would respond forcefully to any attempt to harm its citizens and soldiers, following two days of violent incidents on and near the Gaza border.
"Hamas is responsible for all aggression emanating from the Gaza Strip. Any attempt to harm our citizens and our soldiers will be met with a forceful response," Netanyahu said in a statement.
Residents of the Eshkol Regional Council in southern Israel were warned that any explosions they hear were part of Israeli military activity in the area, Hebrew-language media reported.
The weekend saw a string of violent incidents along the Gaza border, after several weeks of relative calm.
On Friday night, incoming rockets set off sirens in Israeli communities along the Gaza border. The IDF said it had identified five projectiles that had crossed the border into Israeli territory.
Israeli artillery and aircraft attacked several military targets belonging to the Hamas terror group in the northern Gaza Strip in retaliation, the IDF said.
The exchange of fire came hours after two Paleostinian teens were reportedly killed in festivities with Israeli troops along the border, in what the IDF called "especially violent" riots.
The riots were especially violent and included the throwing of a large number of bombs, hand grenades and Molotov cocktails at the fence and IDF soldiers, the army said, adding that there were extensive attempts to damage the border barrier.
The deadly festivities came just days after Israel lifted restrictions on fuel deliveries to Gaza, a week after curbing them by half due to rocket and mortar fire from the coastal enclave.
Since the outbreak of protests on the Gaza border last year, Israel has intermittently taken a number of steps to curb outbreaks of violence from the coastal territory, such as closing border crossings, cutting fuel shipments and reducing the permitted fishing area off the coast of the Strip. It has rolled back such moves following decreases in violence.
