IDF strikes in Gaza in response to rocket

Air Force planes target weapons warehouse, two smuggling tunnels in Strip; no injuries reported

Published: 06.25.10, 07:57 / Israel News

Israel Air Force aircraft bombed a weapons warehouse in northern Gaza and two smuggling tunnels in the southern Strip on Thursday night.

The Israel Defense Forces said the targets were hit and that all planes returned safely to their base. There were no reports of injuries.

The attack was a response to the firing of a rocket and mortar shells at western Negev communities on Thursday. The IDF stressed that Hamas was “a terrorist organization which is fully responsible for the events in the Strip.”

On Thursday evening, a Qassam rocket exploded near a kibbutz north of the Gaza Strip, shortly after two mortar shells exploded south of a kibbutz in Shaar Hanegev Regional Council.

A total of nine mortar shells and one rocket were fired at Israel on Thursday, causing no injuries or damage.

Attacks from Gaza have increased in recent days, luckily, without causing any damage or injures. Nine days ago, after a week and a half of relative calm, fire on the western Negev from Gaza resumed, when a Qassam hit an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council.

“Air Force strikes in Gaza”

SNIPPET: “IDF retaliates for deadly Qassam attack: Air Force hits several Gaza targets, including metal foundry, smuggling tunnel; Vice PM Shalom says Israel to offer strong response to rocket attack that killed Thai worker Thursday”

SNIPPET: “IDF aircraft struck at least four targets in the Gaza Strip on Friday, a day after a rocket fired from the Palestinian enclave killed a Thai worker in Israel, Hamas security officials and witnesses said.”

SNIPPET: “Israel also sent a letter of complaint to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who is due to visit Israel at the weekend, and to the UN Security Council.

A previously unknown group, Ansar al-Sunna, believed to share the hardline ideology of al-Qaeda, claimed responsibility for the rocket fire at Israel, as well as the al-Aqsa Martrys Brigades, a wing of the Fatah movement.

Earlier, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai said that Israel holds Hamas accountable for attacks originating in the Gaza Strip regardless of the group that commits them.”

Police are working to figure out the origin of the rocket that was fired from the Gaza Strip

Ah heck, don't normalise it with a police action. Fire some rockets back!

Having said that: I guess that the Israelis are keeping their powder dry for Iran, so can't react as they would wish to every little thing.

Israel files complaint with UN over weekend rockets
Published: 08.01.10, 09:29 / Israel News

Israel has filed an official complaint with the UN following the Grad rocket fired on Ashkelon and the mortar shells that exploded in the Negev over the weekend.

In a letter to the United Nations Human Rights Council Israel charged that “the rockets were launched indiscriminately towards Israeli civilians and civilian targets, which constitutes a war crime and a crime against humanity.” Israel’s UN envoy in Geneva Aharon Leshno-Yaar wrote that the incident seriously threatens attempts to renew peace talks with the Palestinians.

Unfortunately this time looks like it is going end up being something pretty big in the region. By October this will all be in full swing.

“The Lebanese army August 3 attack on IDF soldiers located 120 meters inside Israeli territory may have been a local commander’s decision, but was influenced by the army’s belligerent attitude toward Israel. Hezbollah did not intervene in the incident but publicly sent Israel a deterrent message coupled with an implied warning.”
