Israeli airstrikes hit Hamas targets near Rafah crossing in Gaza
[Jpost] The attack was carried out in response to incendiary balloons sent from 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 oppression and disproportionate response...

Israeli aircraft carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on targets in the Gaza Strip in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday morning, hitting Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, targets and infrastructure.

The strikes landed near the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, according to Paleostinian reports.

"IDF fighter jets and aircraft attacked an underground infrastructure belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip," the IDF's Spokesperson's Unit said in a statement.

The military added that the attack was carried out in response to incendiary balloons sent from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory throughout the day, in addition to consequent fires in which a children's preschool and some 150 of hectares of agricultural land were burned.

An incendiary balloon landed in front of a Sderot preschool on Monday, starting a fire in the region. While some 35 children attend the preschool on a daily basis, the building suffered structural damage, but was fortunately empty at the time and no injuries were reported, according to Maariv, The Jerusalem Post's sister publication.

Moreover, the airstrikes took place only hours after an Egyptian envoy left the Strip in an attempt to mediate in order to prevent escalation between Hamas and Israel, as well as after the Gazook balloon units threatened on Monday night to "burn everything in the Gaza envelope" on Tuesday.

Israel has launched several attacks on targets in the Hamas-controlled coastal enclave over the past week due to increasing launches of incendiary balloons from the Strip into the South, as well as rocket attacks.

On Sunday, five Israelis were maimed when Hamas fired at rockets towards southern Israel. Interceptor rocket fragments slammed into the yard of a home in Sderot, damaging the home and injuring a 58-year-old man, the IDF said in a statement at the time.Two other women were treated for shock, while another two hurt themselves while running to the bomb shelter.
