The Israeli army attacked Thursday overnight targets in Gaza Strip, hours after two rockets were fired at Tel Aviv from Gaza, a first since Israel's 2014 campaign in Gaza.

According to the Israeli military, the Iron Dome missile defense system was activated. It is assumed that the rockets landed in open areas due to the fact that no damage or injuries were reported as of yet.

The last time rocket alerts were activated in Tel Aviv was two years ago, in what turned out to be a false alarm. The flare-up comes three weeks before Israel holds its general election.

Pundits expected a response and it looks like they were correct.

response to these Satanic Muslim basturds is totally for show and of no serious meaning...unless Jerusalem forces them back to Egypt and Arabia, etc...ending their hostile Occupation of Israeli territories

leaving them to stay in Gaza (Samaria, Judea, the rest of Israel) only enables them to launch even more bombs, missiles, rockets, terrorist attacks

Yes, that will be the lame stream media response.

Also accusations of "wag the dog" by Prime Minister Netanyahu to look more hard line before the election.

No matter what, Israel will always be between a rock and a hard place.

The Commie media has always pretty much been anti Israel..go back to 2006 when Israel and Gaza fought each other, CNN took the side of Gaza, calling Israel murderers..if you go to Israel, no one watches CNN

I’m sure the Arabs are sad Bush and Condoleza Rice aren’t around to urge Israel to use restraint. Israel, you’ve got a full GO from here.

To hell with timid responses to attacks on your people and nation.

The usual process is for Israelis to warn muzzies in the traget area to flee, so empty buildings are bombed.

Yes. The Israelis are so amazingly inept at solving obvious problems anybody else on earth would figure out immediately, that it boggles the mind

Yes probably. But better ones enemies are further away instead of occupying your own land ( including the high terrain overlooking your cities )
