Dozens of rockets as well as mortar rounds were fired from the Gaza Strip Wednesday at southern Israeli towns. Hours later the IDF fired tank shells at what it termed terror targets in the Strip.
Israeli reports put the number of rockets at over 60, and Islamic Jihad, which took responsibility for the attack, said it had fired 90 rockets at Israel. The organization said in a statement that it had launched an ongoing military operation, which it termed Breaking the Silence.
No Israeli casualties were initially reported in the largest attack from the Strip since Operation Pillar of Defense in late 2012.
Most of the rockets fell in open areas, though one rocket landed in the center of Sderot. In all, damage was reported in two impact sites.
Four consecutive alarms were heard by residents of Sderot as well as the nearby Eshkol Regional Council. Residents throughout the entire region were instructed to remain in protected areas. Explosions were heard in Sderot, Netivot and surrounding areas.
Some of the rockets were reported to have been launched from the east Gaza City neighborhood of Shujaiyya.
IAF jets were reportedly flying over the Strip, apparently

Once lasers get a bit more advanced, There will be one less excuse for the ragheads. And they are getting close now.
John Effin' wants to make the West Bank into a similar free fire zone
Sounds like a good plan.
the muzzies are trying to provoke an Israeli invasion of gaza so that they can say that Israel is the aggressor. same old muzzie MO.
Iran and Hamas are ticked off about the ship load of weapons Israel bagged : )
12th Century? Sounds pretty modern for ragheads.
Isn't it about the same is this stuff? It takes several days to get it off your fingers.
It is like that times a dozen. Its biggest problem as a less than lethal technique is that if it is sprayed on the face, a person could easily suffocate. Likewise, the solvents used to dissolve it are harsh, and you have to use enough of them to possibly damage the skin.
In this case, if it could be deployed by a projectile, which is a big if, equipment and personnel in its zone would be messed up a lot. Kind of the purpose of the exercise.
2 Kings
Tanakh, Jewish Publication Society
...And he said: 'It is Elijah the Tishbite.'
1:9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him; and, behold, he sat on the top of the hill. And he spoke unto him: `O man of God, the king hath said: Come down.' 1:10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty: 'If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.' And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
1:11 And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him: 'O man of God, thus hath the king said: Come down quickly.'
1:12 And Elijah answered and said unto them: 'If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.'...

Pray for Israel’s safety.
It’s a mix of psyops and a press release. The rocket attack isn’t really directed at Israel. There’s another target. Can you guess it?
Imagine the Nazis hadn’t invaded west and east but were still bombing London 10 years, 20 years, 30 years later...
World’s only super power?
A real US president would have put an end to bombs-from-Gaza in a week, maybe less. An end to Gaza too if that’s what it took.
In fact, you want the world’s “Gaza problem” resolved? Elect me president and before I’ve finished the inauguration parade route Gaza del ende est.
(I know. I probably spelled that wrong.)
Anyway, GAZA—are you kidding me? What a bunch of pipsqueaks we have for leaders here in what’s left of the decadent west. Two words—
Pa-thethic.
