4- Nir Yitzhak

4- Suffah

6- Kfar Aza

6- Miflasim

6- Zikim

Attack comes on the heels of British PM Cameron's address at the Knesset; Islamic Jihad claims responsibility

At least 35 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip at Israeli southern cities Wednesday in the heaviest barrage of rockets since the 2012 Operation Pillar of Defense.

Code Red alert was heard all across the Gaza envelope, including Sderot, Netivot, the Shaar HaNegev Regional Council and the Sdot Negev Regional Council.

One rocket has reportedly hit the city of Sderot, but there were no reports of injuries. Most of the rockets landed in open territory. Iron Dome missile system intercepted tat least three rockets.

Security forces were scanning the area, and the level of alert has been raised. Residents in the area were instructed to stay in their shelters and secure rooms.

Looks like your terrorist heroes are getting their asses handed to them as we speak. Go IAF!

If terrorists were doing this to US cities the US would be carpet bombing the source with B-52s.

The solution is to stop attacking Israel.

So true. What the anti-Israel crowd can't admit is that Israel has always showed restraint. Can you imagine if that radical group Atzlan (that wants the U.S. to give back all of the Southwest to Mexico) ever started firing rockets into the San Diego area, what the U.S. would do in retaliation?

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Been advocating peaceful solutions for years, but things like this, the sheer scale of it has me wanting to just level Gaza. Screw it. Trying for peace isn't working, so let's try for victory.

1:16 AM- Code red in Eshkol regional council. Multiple launchings.

Israel pulled out of gaza.
Hamas waging war on Israel is attempting to end any peace negotiations. WB suffers because hamas wages war. Smart
Time for hamas to be disarmed so Israel and the PA can finish talks towards peace and statehood for the palestinians.

>>Israel struck back following the March 12th rocket attacks by Palestinian Islamic Jihad against Israeli population centers.

According to The Times of Israel, the Israeli Air Force launched retaliatory air strikes late in the day on the 12th and "struck 29 targets in the Gaza Strip."

Israel warned that "it would hit back hard at Gaza terror groups" after rockets were "fired at southern Israel earlier in the day."

Among the targets chosen by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were "bases of the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, which had claimed the rocket attacks, and Hamas throughout the Gaza Strip."

IDF reported all planes returned safely to Israeli bases after the counter strikes were carried out. <<
