In retaliation to a single rocket that struck an open area in southern Israel on Sunday, the IDF has carried out overnight strikes on Gaza, reportedly hitting at least two "terrorist targets."

According to Palestinian sources, the attacks targeted facilities near the cities of Khan Younis in the south and Deir al Balah in the center of the strip, The Times of Israel reported. Israeli Army spokesman Colonel Peter Lerner has confirmed that its aircraft targeted a "Hamas military training facility" in central Gaza.

The Israeli Air Force jets reportedly hit two Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip on Sunday night. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

The air raid comes in response to earlier rocket fire from the territory of Gaza when a single rocket apparently targeted Israel's southern communities. The projectile triggered warning sirens, but exploded in an open area, causing no injuries or damage.

Rockets coming from Gaza regularly hit Israel but rarely cause any damage. While Hamas, which is in control of the Palestinian territory, has never admitted responsibility for the sporadic attacks on Israel, Tel Aviv maintains that the organization is responsible for everything taking place in the Gaza Strip.

SHAME UPON ALL ARABS

Palestinians must do it themselves for their cowardly Arab Brethren are too feeble to help; and they lust for the shekels received from the Jews for doing nothing; remember David and Goliath? well David was a Palestinian.
"All or nothing"? Yes, I believe even psychopathic Israel would be forced to bend under the weight of that determination. The World would have to concede, do we stand by whilst Israel annihilates the whole Nation of Palestinians, the rightful residents of these ancient homelands, or do we finally intercede to kick Israel into the twenty first century.The World has been complicit in this struggle for too long, we have taken too many Israeli pieces of gold and shekels, and, to their everlasting shame, this includes all other Arab and Muslim States World wide. I for one would like to hear the protestations and arguments all other Arab and Muslim states will advance to explain or justify, their lack of action to support Palestinian justice; lets call upon them to speak and explain. Do not use the excuse relating to Israeli possession of nuclear weapons, that is irrelevant, especially if the World will unite against this Israeli oppression; will they "nuke" the whole world? Also tell me this, which Nation will they occupy next? and, where will they stop? Read their history of pronouncements over the last one hundred years; read their religious texts, they see themselves as the "chosen" race, and everyone else exists either to "serve" them or be dead. Now think where have you heard those teachings before. Israel must be brought down to Earth, so it must be "All or nothing".All Peace negotiations are a farce simply used to punctuate the periods of Palestinian death and destruction.

AMEN to that but we must be careful not to breed hatred towards the Jews or we become like them ..something less than human.
Not all Jews are guilty of course. I'm sure there's some fine people in Israel that can't stand their Government or the conservative Talmud.
Time to put them into power..I hate that word..POWER..governments are there to serve not lord over us for EFFS sake.

All of these "scientists" who ran these fraudulent "studies" should be tried for the murder they enabled. All of them.
