Israel’s Air Force attacked several Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip early Monday morning in response to rocket fire in Israeli communities bordering the Gaza Strip on Sunday night
“A short while ago IDF warplanes and aircraft attacked Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip,” the IDF stated.
“A cement factory used for digging tunnels was attacked as well as Hamas underground facilities. The attack was carried out in response to the rocket fire from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory [on Sunday night].”
In response to the rocket that was fired at #Israel from #Gaza earlier this evening, our fighter jets & aircraft just struck subterranean Hamas terror facilities in Gaza.
We hold Hamas responsible for all activity emanating from Gaza.

The sounds of sirens were heard in Sderot and nearby communities on Sunday night, sending tens of thousands of Israelis into bomb shelters.

The IDF stated that one rocket was fired from Gaza and was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. It was the first rocket fired at Israel in almost a month.
Shrapnel from the Iron Dome interceptor missile hit the streets of Sderot, damaging several vehicles, including shattering the windshield of one car.
The sirens were heard during the inauguration of Sderot’s new drive-in movie theater to provide “social distancing” entertainment during the coronavirus era and dozens of residents were sitting in cars when the sirens blared.
Families in southern Israel went to see a movie at a drive-in theater this evening.
Halfway through, terrorists from Gaza fired a rocket at Israel, forcing the kids to run to bomb shelters.
Terror is not a movie for these kids, it’s a traumatic reality.

Q=Why can’t great ‘heroes’ of idf wipe out those vermin once and for all? A= If they would believe that Hashem loves and supports them,they woudn’t be such cowards!
That cement factory should have been attacked BEFORE the rockets were fired!
@stevehynes:
I don’t think it’s the decision of IDF. I also wish the vermin would be wiped out
And please don’t call IDF “cowards”. And they are indeed HEROES! Don’t be ungrateful. (Almost sounds like “Defund Police”)
Geula- when I say idf I’m referring to the top brass who always brag about what they can do. The soldiers in the field are indeed heroes!
Hot Dog! the IDF has shown Hamas not to mess with us! They have found a few empty warehouses to bomb.
Whoopie!
But seriously, if the IDF does not kill the heads of Hamas and members of their families and stop playing tit for tat, the rockets from Gaza will never stop. We need some one in the government who is not afraid to hit Hamas very hard!
