Over the past 48 hours, in response to the incident in which a children’s bus was hit with an anti-tank missile near Sa’ad on Thursday, combined Israel Air Force, Armored and Infantry forces are operating in the Gaza Strip in order to restore the calm to Israel’s southern communities.
IAF aircraft and armored forces targeted eleven squads of terrorists in the northern and southern Gaza Strip, immediately following their firing of rockets and mortars at the Israeli home front, deliberately targeting Israeli civilians.
IAF aircraft targeted fifteen terror activity sites in the Gaza Strip, including terror infrastructure sites, Hamas outposts, smuggling tunnels and weapons manufacturing and storage facilities. Direct hits were confirmed.
Additionally, during joint IDF- ISA activities, IAF aircraft targeted Hamas commanders and operatives.
Over the past 48 hours, terrorist organizations in Gaza fired over 120 Grad missiles, rockets and mortars at the Israeli home front, 50 of which were fired since this morning. Since Thursday, approximately eight Grad missiles and rockets were intercepted by IAF Aerial Defense Corps forces, using the “Iron Dome” system.
The IDF said in a statement that “Israel will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians, and will continue to operate with strength and determination against any terrorist organization using terror against the state of Israel. The Hamas terrorist organization is solely responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip”.

So “Iron Dome” is only effective 5% of the time. Doesn’t sound as promissing as before.
They only try to shoot down the ones that they think will land in a populated area
According to the UN, obama, Europe Israel is suppose to do nothing. Only 120 missles. Why is England and France in Libya they have not been fired upon
They shot 120 missiles & rockets? But today they are saying that they just wanted peace.
Israel will only solve its everlasting problem with its sworn enemies when it is brought to its knees, and the country’s at a point of certain whipe out.
Until then, it will continue playing this 60+ year old game.
