A large number of rockets and mortar shells were fired out of the Gaza Strip against southern Israel today, apparently in retaliation for yesterday’s Israeli attack on a motorcycle in a crowded district, which wounded two militants but also several schoolchildren.
The Gazan strikes, as usual, didn’t hit much, doing some damage to a few building and killing a goat in a petting zoo, also wounding several nearby sheep. No human casualties were reported.
Israeli warplanes and tanks also attacked Gaza in retaliation for the retaliation, hitting several sites including a mosque in the tiny Palestinian enclave. No reports of casualties have been made so far either.
The attacks from both sides put an end to a period of relative calm on the Israel-Gaza frontier. Such escalations are not uncommon, but some Israeli officials have raised the notion of invading Gaza in the past several months, suggesting they are “due” for another invasion, having not done so since early 2009.
It has been too quiet on the western front, so Israel is trying to provoke at dramatic response from Gazans so it can then whine 'ooooh look at those evil Arabs trying to kill us all'. Things aren't going to well with Israels intended war of aggression against Iran so it needs to take it out – 'price tag' style – on someone – usually the Gazans
This is Zionist regime of Israel…The biggest mistake UN made in its history. Neverending wars of aggression with deception and arrogance never mached in entire modern human history. The place secures wars and unrest, possibly large horrible conflicts for the future… From "noble idea" after WW2 Israel became into "ongoing tragedy" for whole of mankind….Sad, but so much truth. Defeating this Hidden Satanic power may come very soon, but will be marked by rivers of blood in 4 corners…
Internacional Zionism – Internacional Satanism will be defeated by awaken United Mankind at the end …and then there will be New Age, Age of Universal Endless Peace…..peter czech
And america will veto all these war crimescommitted by the zionists.
gaza has a right to defend itself
