A huge barrage of rockets were fired from Gaza.

Hamas said it fired hundreds of rockets on Ashkelon in “response to the displacement of civilians in Gaza,” a statement on Telegram said.

This comes after a Hamas spokesperson issued a warning to the residents of the southern Israeli city to leave the city before 5 p.m. local time.

The Israelis have the most impressive counter battery fire ability I’ve ever seen, and I was a Red Leg.

IMO, I’d lean toward an old-fashioned B-52, B-1 and B-2 carpet bombing, with a mix of conventional and incendiary.

Iran doesn’t get any US taxpayer dollars either.

IT may be a LONG daisy chain-—but ANY money that IRAN gets goes to support HAMAS.

This is along with the massive amount of arms left in Afghanistan... some of which have already been proven to have been used by Hamas. Biden and company left those arms there intentionally for who knows what reason, but the result will be tens of thousands of additional deaths.

That is their strategy. Those responsible for launching the rockets are long gone. All that remains is a nearby hospital or school.

It must be wonderful to be so blissfully unaware of recent events.

I suppose that you are pretending in your own mind that the money belonged to the mullahs in Iran to start with... which it didn't. But either way the people who ultimately foot the bill are the US taxpayers whether you want to hide your head in the sand or not.

A few updates:

Hamas claim 1560 rockets fired.

IDF reports Iron Dome shot most down (you have to start wondering when will they run out of ammo).

Sirens going off in Northern Israel.

It’s not a war crime. Palestine is not a nation state. Palestinians have no military. They are terrorists.

Agree. This whole thing stinks to high heaven. From beginning to now.

They should obliterate a 5 block X 5 block area around that site. No building standing and no mammal breathing.

“Oh. I just read the savages want a truce. How can this be?!”

Probably because they know that when Israeli troops come in they are history.

Yep. Simply tell everyone that in 24 hours the place will be levelled. LEVELLED! Then scoop up the people that flee and either imprison them or pick them up and drop them off in Jordan - their true home state.

Hence my “25 block square flattened” resolution. Eventually there will be nowhere for them to shoot from.

They will launch them all before they’re destroyed by Israel.
