Israel's air force fired around 20 missiles at targets in Gaza City on Saturday, causing heavy damage, a Reuters witness said. The IDF has confirmed the report. (Hanan Greenberg and Reuters)
Yes and amen.
A blessed Christmas and a peaceful New Year to you and your family, Liberty Rocks.
I was going to reply to an earlier post about the graduation ceremony... And, I was going to say - what next, a school? I take these reports with a grain of salt - all the while keeping in mind that there will - no doubt - be innocent victims as there are in all wars. And, that is the part EVERYONE hates... If only missiles and bullets had some sort of “evil-tracking” device where they would only harm those who were “bad guys (and gals)”, but they don’t... that’s just a fact.
As I said - I don’t know how much of these reports to really believe (not that no people were killed, but the graduation ceremony, and “school-children”... reports). It always seems like they use descriptions to evoke more sympathy, and sometimes it’s all just propaganda. There was just too much fabricated during the Israel-Lebanon war a while ago by Hamas, and their MSM stringers that sometimes it’s hard to believe ANYTHING they say, really.
13:24 Palestinians fire two rockets which explode in Ashkelon (Channel 10)
this sounds like a Grad/Kaytusha type rocket as Ashkelon is beyond the range of the quassam rockets
On a happier note... Happy New Year! I hope your Christmas party went well?

Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Propaganda is part of the hamas’ jihad.
Only the insane want war... but your words are sage indeed.

It was not like attacking a discoteque where teenagers celebrate their graduation... but the graduation ceremony for new security officers, meaning armed and uniformed Hammas activists.
Stop whining and demonstrating this bullsh*t liberal guilt.
Re Ashkelon...

“Barak to allow aid into Gaza Strip”
By JPOST.COM STAFF
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Rocket attacks showed no signs of respite on Thursday night as Gaza terrorists fired a Grad-type rocket at Ashkelon. The rocket impacted in an open area near an industrial zone, causing no wounded or damage.”
not sure about Iran, but I would keep a wary eye to southern Lebanon and Hezbollah.
There have been reports that Israel has been acting with “increased viligance” in northern Israel. Wouldn’t shock me to see a missile strike or two from Hezbollah acting in “solidarity” with their Hamas cousins
Sky News reporting -
A statement from Islamic Jihad said: “All fighters are ordered to respond to the Israeli slaughter.”
Think of it as Hamas’s early retirement plan.

A Look at the Palestinian Islamic Jihad:
What kind of personnel we should wonder.
They forgot the orphans and puppies.
