Hamas rockets fired at Israel Friday night were "directed from Damascus and the Iranian Quds Force," IDF Spokesperson Ronen Manelis said during a press conference Saturday morning.

“We have delivered clear messages of this fact to the relevant parties,” he said, adding that, in the IDF’s response, “no one is immune, not in the Gaza Strip nor outside of it."

He also warned that the IDF is ready for a "scenario in which we will expand our strikes."

Islamic Jihad fired 34 rockets at Israel, he said, out of which 13 were intercepted by Iron Dome.

In a sane world it would be considered an act of all out war, but with 6 million people, you obviously can’t invade and occupy.

Too bad. They might get more help from the Iranian people than they think.

Though I just looked and Israel is up to 9 million people. I haven’t checked in forever and thought it was still around 6 million.

Good for them.

May have grown a bit since you last looked, but the Jewish population is about 6.5 million now, and that number is often cited as well. 6 million total would go back to the late 90s

I kinda figured several million weren’t Jewish.

How many of those others are loyal Israelis?

Or ARE they Israelis?

Don’t know if people are allowed in there just to work for a certain period of time, etc.
