A ball of fire is seen following an Israel airstrike in Rafah, southern Gaza, on July 1, 2014. Israeli warplanes launched in the early morning hours of Tuesday, dozens of airstrikes on different targets in the Gaza Strip, including sites belonging to Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
According to reports, sites in Khan Younes, Rafah and Beit lahia were hit.
"Following over 18 rockets which were fired at Israel since Sunday evening, IAF aircraft carried out a precision strike against 34 targets in the Gaza Strip," the IDF said.
Four people were injured, according to Israel Radio citing Palestinian sources.
"The IDF will continue to act in order to restore the peaceful living to the civilians of the state of Israel. The Hamas terror organization and its extensions are solely responsible for any terror activities emanating from the Gaza Strip," IDF Spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said.
A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip early Tuesday landed in the Eshkol Regional Council, causing damage to several cars and a fire close to a packaging plant, which was quickly put out by emergency services.
Another rocket landed in the Sdot Negev region, causing no damage or injuries.

Deputy defense minister Danny "Genocide is Cool" Danon.
"During the search for Eyal Ifrach, Gilad Shaer and Naftali Frankel, the IDF discovered 3 bodies near Hebron," the Israeli army said in a statement on Twitter.
It was not immediately clear how they died.
Deputy defense minister Danny Danon also confirmed their bodies had been discovered, saying they had been murdered by "Hamas terrorists" and calling for a widespread operation to "eradicate" the Islamist movement.
Public radio said the bodies were discovered in a field near Halhul, a town north of Hebron, about 10 minutes from the roadside in the southern West Bank where they were last seen.
The Ynet news website said the bodies were found by soldiers and civilian volunteers.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is, at its heart, a story of two peoples and one land. Both see history as their justification. Which means a historian who appears to change sides inevitably becomes a figure of enormous controversy. HARDtalk speaks to Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe who says the record shows that the Jewish state is racist; born of a deliberate program of ethnic cleansing.
Not surprisingly he's widely reviled in his home country. His work has been both supported and criticized by other historians. Before he left Israel in 2008, he had been condemned in the Knesset, Israel's parliament; a minister of education had called for him to be sacked; his photograph had appeared in a newspaper at the centre of a target; and he had received several death threats.
Comment: Good job, Ilan Pappe, on dealing with Stephen Sackur's slime-ball questions. It must be difficult speaking rationally with a moral and logical black hole.

This is frightening stuff, of course. Could this refer to some of the six million Canadians who may be living with HIV/Aids? Or the 4.5 million Canadians affected by arthritis? Or the 2.5 million Canadians believed to have diabetes? Or even some of the estimated 7.8 million Canadians treated for depression each year? Nope. This is far more serious. For the "disease" afflicting "almost 4 million Canadians" is "anti-Semitism" and this disgusting advertisement - published without comment by one of Canada's leading right-wing newspapers - was produced by B'nai Brith Canada and the "Jewish Christian Alliance".
"At the first sign of anti-Semitism," this appalling ad concludes, "call the B'nai Brith Canada Anti-Hate Hotline..." In other words, this pro-Israeli Jewish group - whose exaggerations and hateful propaganda have been rightly condemned by Jewish Canadians - claims that four million of their fellow-countrymen and women are sick, racist neo-Nazis. What other conclusion are we supposed to draw if almost 9 per cent of the Canadian population is "diseased", "infected" and "contaminated".
Comment: There is a social disease infecting humanity, but it's not anti-Semitism; it's psychopathy. The same disease afflicting the Nazis, the Commies, ISIS, Harper, Obama, Poroshenko, and the idiots at B'nai Brith.
ISIS proclaimed Islamic order on territories they captured both in Iraq and Syria. The area they now hold contains economically vital oil sites. Where does ISIS get the funding it needs to snatch power in the region? Even Washington has played its role in the rise of ISIS - as RT's Marina Portnaya explains.

US installed puppet in Ukraine Yatsenyuk, who has no qualms calling 7 million people living in the SE of Ukraine evil and inhuman. How that will encourage the people of the southeast to accept the Kiev junta is not known.

The way to remove a democratically elected President (and/or Prime Minister) is by constitutional means; and a coup is not constitutional - not even in Ukraine, and it's certainly not supposed to be the constitutional means in the U.S. Yet we immediately recognized the coup-government, because we had actually installed it.
Comment: The disparity between truth and lies in the Ukraine crisis has become so obvious, it's a wonder that anyone still buys the MSM swill being shoved down Americans' throats. Opinions on the conflict are thus a clear indicator of where an individual's true loyalties lie: those who buy the lies are either lying themselves (e.g., the psychopaths Obama, Nuland, etc.) or give truth absolutely no value. Either way, a stand must be taken. Do you support truth and justice? Or lies and brutal psychopathy?

NSA, spying on the whole world.
NSA, spying on the whole world.
The Washington Post published on Monday official documents provided by Mr. Snowden that shows new proof concerning the extent of the NSA's vast surveillance apparatus.
One of the documents - a file marked "top secret" from 2010 and approved by the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court - shows that the NSA has been authorized to conduct surveillance on 193 foreign government, as well as various factions and organizations around the world, including the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
"Virtually no foreign government is off-limits for the National Security Agency, which has been authorized to intercept information from individuals 'concerning' all but four countries on Earth, according to top-secret documents," journalists Ellen Nakashima and Barton Gellman wrote for the Post.
Comment: Looks like the NSA has the whole world covered. And some still deny the existence of an American Empire... Thankfully, all empires fall, and the U.S. will be no exception.

Activists and politicians called Facebook's experiment 'scandalous', 'spooky' and 'disturbing'.
Activists and politicians called Facebook's experiment 'scandalous', 'spooky' and 'disturbing'.
It has published details of a vast experiment in which it manipulated information posted on 689,000 users' home pages and found it could make people feel more positive or negative through a process of "emotional contagion".
In a study with academics from Cornell and the University of California, Facebook filtered users' news feeds - the flow of comments, videos, pictures and web links posted by other people in their social network. One test reduced users' exposure to their friends' "positive emotional content", resulting in fewer positive posts of their own. Another test reduced exposure to "negative emotional content" and the opposite happened.
The study concluded: "Emotions expressed by friends, via online social networks, influence our own moods, constituting, to our knowledge, the first experimental evidence for massive-scale emotional contagion via social networks."
Comment: Creepy.

While the main objective of the meeting was to support the Mujahidin military base in Iraq, Camp Asharaf and their fight against Iran, MEK president Maryam Rajavi seized the opportunity to violently lash out against Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and rejoice over the progress achieved by the Islamic Emirate in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)
Comment: Can it be more obvious that the West are sponsoring ISIL and terrorism and that the chaos in the Middle East is by design?
Comment: Terrorists = Palestinians. Therefore, the Israelis are calling for genocide, clear and simple. See also: Abducted Israeli Teenagers Found Dead - A Convenient Development (for Israel)
