Interim alert
Since I’m out tomorrow, I’ve been monitoring the increasing battle between Hamas and Israel. Things are getting really hot as Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities have been targeted by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad rockets today. Red Alerts issued for Ashkelon, Zikim, Ashkelon Southern Industrial Zone, Ashkelon Northern Industrial Zone, Karmia, Beit Shikma, Bat Hadar, Mavki’im, Berekhya, Mishan, Netiv HaAssara, Yad Mordechai.
Rough estimate of nearly 70 to 100 rockets at this time - one of the largest attacks in years.
Israeli Security Cabinet green-lights strikes throughout Gaza. IAF hammering targets in Gaza.
According to reports, Hamas Al-Qassam Commander Muhammad Abdullah Fayyad was killed in the targeted attack in the past couple hours.
Folks, this has the potential for Hezbollah getting froggy and jumping in.
Spot Report.
News cycle is slow. Approx 400+ rockets have been fired into Israel over the past 24 hours. Terror group Palestinian jihad appears to be attempting to overwhelm the iron dome defense of Ashkelon, achieving some success.
IAF hammering Gaza targets in response. IDF may well launch a ground offensive to destroy rocket launching and other terrorist sites.
Keep an eye again on hezbollah potentially launching too. A major regional war is in the making.
