Isis declares war on Israel: Islamic State affiliate in Gaza Strip threatens 'worse is coming'
International Business Times ^ | 06/04/15 | Arij Limam , Orlando Crowcroft

An Islamic State-affiliated jihadi group in Gaza has declared war on Israel after claiming responsibility for two rocket attacks over the past two weeks.

A group calling itself the Sheikh Omar Hadeed Brigade in Quds claims that it fired a rocket on 26 May which landed near the Israeli city of Ashdod as well as another on June 3 that also hit the city. Israel responded with air strikes in Gaza on Thursday.

The first rocket was widely believed to have been fired by Islamic Jihad and the IS-affiliated Omar Brigade claim – which came in a statement on June 1 – cannot be independently verified. The group took responsibility for Wednesday night's rocket in a second statement.

It has warned Israel that there will be more attacks: "Ashdod is the beginning. What's coming is worse."

I would suspect that all inroads to Israel are heavily check-pointed. You know ISIS would love nothing more than to sneak a few truck bombs in.

I’m sure Bibi will level Gaza fairly easily - maybe even glass it over

These people are slow learners, aren’t they? Maybe Israel can count on the people who took such a pounding last year in Gaza to take out the trash! Wouldn’t that be nice?

ISIS has a death wish. Israel will do, as they always do, take on the enemy.

If Israel behaved the way the Arabs accuse them of behaving, the Arabs would remain very quiet trying not to upset the Jews.

Absolutely true and the Arabs know it.

Isn’t this a terrible commentary on the physic of the Arab, they do not want peace and only respect force.

Israel displays an incredible amount of restraint. God bless’em.

When they come out swinging, ain’t gonna be pretty for the ol sadistic muzzies.

I pray God’s hand unleash this restrained power on the enemies of Israel. Lord, make them know you are the one true God. The God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Abba, allow your chosen to crush satan’s army. I pray this in the name of the Holy Lamb...Jesus Christ the righteous. Amen Amen!

In light that Hamas whacked one of ISIS’ leaders a couple of days ago, it seems ISIS is trying to provoke Israel into going into Gaza to lay the hurt on Hamas.
