Active night in gaza.
Hamas sends rockets and mortars into Israeli cities along the border. Israel replies with defensive missiles and bombing. Apparently the march on the wall isn’t working well enough, so hamas is upping the ante.
Because of the potential volume of rocket fire hamas can mass, there are some comments of concern that they may be trying to whittle down the stockpile of Iron Dome missiles and degrade that asset.
p
Night approaching Israel/Gaza. An IDF source is reportedly stating that IDF activity will be increasing through the night.
Sirens are reported now sounding in town along the Gaza border.
Some of the rockets shot have been linked to Iran. Even if the info is wrong, Israel doesn’t have any more patience for that and I don’t think they feel hamstrung like they did under 0bama. If how Israel has handled Iran in Syria is any measure - it could be a hot night in Gaza.
Hamas has announced that any strike on Gaza tonight will trigger retaliatory rocket strikes on Tel Aviv.
Potential seriousness of an escalation is reflected in the Emergency UN Scty council meeting called by the US scheduled for tomorrow.
