Enough is enough.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are retaliating to the slew of rockets that were recently shot at residents in Israel’s southern region.
Summer camps, and kindergartens and schools that are open, have been under constant threat as 70 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel.
The Hamas terror group, with whom the Palestinian Authority created a “unity government,” has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Hamas sources reported to CNN of at least 30 Israeli airstrikes across Gaza on Monday night into Tuesday.
“Operation Protective Edge is underway. Targeting #Hamas capabilities that are terrorizing #Israel,” Israel Defense Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner tweeted.
The position of the IDF has changed, the spokesman said at an earlier news briefing, CNN reports. Last week they were focused on de-escalation, but now Israel is preparing for a possible deterioration of the situation, he said.
Lerner said the IDF has already called up several hundred reservists and is prepared to add 1,500 more. During the last offensive on Gaza in November 2012, 30,000 reservists were called up.
Mushir Al-Masri, a Hamas leadership figure and member of the Palestinian parliament, wrote on his Facebook page: “The enemy has crossed the red lines and will be made to pay the price for its crimes. The blood of our martyrs is precious … and is fuel for the intifada and the resistance.”
After that statement, 70 rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel, with Hamas claiming responsibility.
Just read this quote from Israel National News:
“..Great doubt was cast on the “revenge” theory after a Channel Two report noted Abu-Khder’s parents gave conflicting testimony to police over an alleged attempted kidnapping of their younger son the day before. Mohammed’s mother claimed that “settlers” had attempted to snatch the boy, while the father insisted the assailants were in fact Arabs.”
See! Even the father said that ARABS DID IT!!
Again, Israel arrested israeli suspects just to satisfy the MEDIA but ARABS did it!
Actually 3 of the suspects were released. And actually some of them were mentally off or something. It is obvious that the ARABS did it. Think logically! Do you see all the biased headlines that all of the US media uses? How they are trying to show Jews did it! There is absolutely NO PROOF that the jewish suspects did it! They only arrested them to make the MEDIA happy so the media will be satisfied. Just watch the ARAB Suspect be arrested sooner or later!
They confessed, so I have no idea what you are talking about.
totally agree will say tehillim!
I hope Israel will do what it needs to do without fear of the media but with the understanding of what HaShem needs from us . The Rebbe made it clear. Protect our borders of “The Holy Land ” and all the people in it. We have to bring on the required action . May Hashem Bless and Protect our brothers and sisters in our Land.
While all the comments are from well meaning people,they do nothing to help our brothers and sisters in our holy land,PLEASE everyone do mivtzah TEFILLIIN ,make children’s rallies,remember what was achieved through them in the past.Tovah Peulah Achas Melef Anochos!Borchainu Avinu Kulanu Kecod.Tge rebbe our commander in chief has always given us the best strategies to win battles!
For protection and the GUeula NOW
Ur righjt! Im saying those kapitlach for EY. 83, 121 & 130.
Moshiach & Geula NOW
the media is crazy trying to make Israel look bad its crazy! The media is pro Palestinian. They never report rocket firing in Israel only now when there is tension in Israel. Everyone go on CNN and please defend Israel from the thousands of anti semitic comments there.
No it wasn’t a Jew they are just arresting Israeli suspects to satisfy the biased media who want to hear it. Jews don’t burn only Arabs do!
You could all keep commenting, but when i heard the siren and the booms from my home in Isreal, suddenly everything takes on a different perspective.
Get off the computer, and say a kapitel tehillim for us.
70,000 rockets. they trade one kidnapped Jew for 1,000 terrorist. so we need to send back 1,000 rockets for every rocket they fire at us.
It’s not retaliation. It’s DEFENSE and it’s needed to stop them from firing more missiles at us
They see we are not doing anything in retaliation for all they have done recently….so why not continue?
Imho, the blood of that Arab slain boy is on Netanyahu (assuming killer was a jew). Netanyahu is doing little to protect the Israeli people. The message is loud and clear. Jewish blood IS cheap. The masses of good Jews have their blood boiling. One horrible meshugener decided to kill, however, if the IDF was given green light to respond with REAL MEANINGFUL brute force, I truly believe that Arab boy would be alive. And Netanyahu doesn’t give a flying falafel about the slain teen Israeli girl yesterday, because it doesn’t bring him or his government bad PR so her… Read more »
משיח now
they kill children we kill buildings
I wish they would actually finish them off, but unfortunately it will be like every other time….
If they send 70 rockets we must send 700 rockets.
