Israeli jets hit militant site in Gaza after rocket attack
Residents of the Gaza Strip said Israeli aircraft launched a series of airstrikes at militant sites in the coastal Palestinian territory early Monday.
The airstrikes appear to be a response to the firing of a rocket by Palestinian militants toward southern Israel Saturday evening. Israeli air defenses intercepted the rocket.
The Israeli military said the airstrikes targeted an underground rocket manufacturing complex run by Hamas, the militant group that rules Gaza. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The Gaza-Israel frontier had been largely quiet in recent months, but there have been intermittent rocket fire and airstrikes influenced by soaring violence between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Good to see that at least you have the guts to admit that the Israeli attack was RETALIATION to rockets fired into Israel.
Not into israel but rather into occupied Palestinian territory. Those who fired the rockets are literally the owners of the lands where the rockets land. 80% of the people in Gaza are refugees from "tel aviv", askelan, asdud and the surrounding areas. Every rocket is a tiny retaliation for all the crimes israel does daily. Its not even a drop in the ocean. To hell with you and your fellow zionists. May you join pharao and all the other opressors in the fire of hell.
At least 90% of the inhabitants of Gaza are under 75 years old and were born there, so they can't be refugees from Tel Aviv etc.Add to that in 1948 there were hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of Gaza who had not removed themselves to there, and whose ancestors had lived there for hundreds of years.
According to all UN agencies (except for UNWRA) a refugee is someone who was personally removed from his place of residence, this is not the case in the cast majority of Gazans.
You in Lebanon should be more involved in getting your territory back from the Iranian puppet, Hizballah, than bothering yourselves in what is going on in other places.
