Israel is once again under attack. Since Friday afternoon, Iranian-backed terrorists in Gaza have fired more than 200 rockets at the Jewish state, targeting innocent citizens in southern Israeli cities, as well as in the central Israel city of Modiin. Prime Minister Lapid says, “Anyone who tries to harm Israel should know: We will find you.”
JNS (h/t Nita) The Israel Defense forces on Friday launched Operation Breaking Dawn in the Gaza Strip, following days of tensions in the wake of the arrest of the leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Judea and Samaria.
Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said in a statement that the goal of the operation was “the elimination of a concrete threat” against civilians, as well as the targeting of terrorists and their sponsors.
A senior Israeli source was quoted by media as saying that the mission was initiated with a view to thwarting an imminent large-scale terrorist attack.

According to the IDF, an airstrike on Friday killed senior PIJ commander Tayseer Jabari, who replaced Baha Abu al-Ata as the head of the terrorist group in northern Gaza after the latter’s assassination by the Israeli military in 2019.
The IDF said that some 15 PIJ terrorists had been killed in initial strikes targeting anti-tank missile operators and snipers in Gaza.

On Monday, Israeli forces launched an operation in Jenin that resulted in the arrest of Bassam al-Sa’adi, who leads PIJ in Judea and Samaria and is suspected of building terror cells in the area.
Khaled al-Batsh, head of the politburo of PIJ in Gaza, said on Wednesday: “We have every right to bomb Israel with our most advanced weapons and make the occupier pay a heavy price. We will not settle for attacking around Gaza, but we will bomb the center of the so-called State of Israel,” according to The Media Line.

Idiots using self-made malfunctioning Rockets killing their own civilians, just for the tiny little chance to pass through the Iron Dome and maybe find a Jew not in a shelter to kill him, what a stupid cult of morons they crave Jewish blood so much they will kill their own children in order to have a chance to kill a Jew not even high ranking official from the army, just a random Jew.
Pray Hard says
I’d like to see the Izzies exterminate them.
Classy Infidel says

This is the video of the failed rocket launch that killed earlier all those children near the mosque in northern Gaza. And then blamed Israel for it.

Israel is to moral and civilized to do unto others what was done unto their people for no sane reason , they on the other hand have justification to level that Gaza terrorist infested ghetto slum ten miles out at the crack of dawn and ten more miles by night fall … doable with their technology … call it breathing room , enough explanation why for my kind
Linda Rivera says
The terrorists want to slaughter every Jew.
Israel: No half measures! Eliminate the terrorists so they will never again be able to re-start Mohammad’s DEATH GOD’S WAR Against Jewish innocents.
Sahih Bukhari (52:177) – Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”

DavidW says
“We have every right to bomb Israel with our most advanced weapons….”
Then Israel should have every right to strike back and leave nothing but rubble.
Linda Rivera says
YES! Absolutely!
Jack Rider says
But in islam the infidel only has the right to die. Islam does not countenance its aggression empowers the infidel to defend itself. This rational thought, held by the reasonable Western mind, is not shared by the islamic believer. The muslim attacker may in fact anticipate a reciprocal strike against him or other defensive action but this is different from the moral recognition of the right of self defense by the infidel enemy. Yes, that’s how messed up their religious mindset is!
