Finally: Israeli Warplanes Pound Hamas Targets In Gaza
There have been over 200 rocket attacks in the past few days into Israel and now, finally, Israel is hitting back and hitting back hard:
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli warplanes retaliating for rocket fire from Gaza pounded dozens of security compounds across the Hamas-ruled territory in unprecedented waves of air strikes Saturday, killing at least 145 and wounding more than 310 in the single bloodiest day in Gaza in recent memory.
Hamas said all of its security installations were hit and in response fired several medium-range Grad missiles at Israel, reaching deeper than in the past. One Israeli was killed and at least four were wounded.
Arab nations are, of course, ignoring the fact that Hamas is bringing this on themselves with their incessant rocket attacks on Israeli civilians and are protesting the attacks:
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Arab world reacted in shock to the attacks on the Gaza Strip on Saturday with scattered protests around the region and Egypt summoning the Israeli ambassador to express its condemnation of the air strikes.
In a statement from the president’s office, Egypt condemned Israel’s attacks and held it responsible for those killed and wounded and called for renewed efforts to restore the truce with Hamas.
They’re shocked, shocked I tell you, that Israel would do such a thing. Here’s a news flash: Any nation in the world would respond with force if someone continually fired rockets across their borders and into their cities.
Hamas deserves whatever it gets and any loss of civilian life is their fault. It’s simple - stop shooting at Israel and Israel will stop shooting at them. Instead, they condemn their own people to a life of squalor and misery through their hatred. The Hamas government is inept and quite simply does not care about the lives of their citizens. Thay want blood. Period.
And now they’re getting it by the bucket.
