| 2019-09-09 |
| [DAWN] Israeli forces attacked Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, positions in 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 oppressionand disproportionate response... after rockets fired from the Paleostinian enclave hit the Jewish state, the military said early on Saturday. The exchange came hours after two Paleostinian teenagers were killed by Israeli fire during festivities on the Gaza border. Late on Friday, "five projectiles were launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel," the army said. The projectiles hit open fields in southern Israel, an army front man said. In response, an "aircraft and tank struck a number of Hamas military targets in the northern Gaza Strip, including a post and military positions," the army said in a statement. A Hamas security source said there were no casualties resulting from the Israeli strikes. Later on Saturday, a drone launched from southern Gaza crossed into Israeli airspace, the army said in a separate statement. It "dropped what seems to be an bomb" near the security fence, damaging a military vehicle before returning to Gaza. In response, an Israeli "aircraft targeted the squad which launched the drone", the army said. There were no reports of casualties in Gaza, but the unrest on the frontier continued throughout the day as four Paleostinians infiltrated Israel and were apprehended by the army. Three 13-year-olds crossed the border from the southern Gaza Strip, and a search revealed a knife, the army said in a statement. Later, another infiltrator ‐ this time from northern Gaza ‐ was apprehended, and two knives were found on him, the army said. Addressing the latest escalation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had been updated on the events and threw the blame at Gaza’s Islamist rulers. "Hamas is responsible for any act of aggression emanating from Gaza," he said in a statement. "Any attempt to harm our soldiers or civilians has been and will be met with a harsh response." During border festivities on Friday, two Paleostinians aged 14 and 17 were rubbed out by Israeli forces, the Gaza health ministry said, with another 46 Paleostinians maimed. The Israeli army said thousands of Paleostinians took part in "especially violent" demonstrations along the border fence, which included throwing "fire bombs and bombs" at soldiers. |
