Since the IDF said it held Hamas responsible for the rocket launch.
In response to the rocket fired from #Gaza at Israel overnight, IDF fighter jets struck a Hamas weapons manufacturing site in Gaza.
We hold Hamas responsible for the events transpiring in the Gaza Strip and emanating from it.

Israel later announced it had restricted the permitted fishing zone off the coast of the Gaza Strip to 10 nautical miles in response to the rocket fire.
There is a video of the Israeli strikes.
WARNING: Loud noise.
The incident comes a day after an Israeli aircraft fired at and hit an armed Palestinian who approached the border fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel, the IDF said.
This is the armed terrorist who attempted to infiltrate into #Israel from #Gaza earlier tonight.
His (unfulfilled) objective: to murder Israeli families living less than a mile away.

On December 13th, several thousand Palestinians protested on the Gaza border, with Israel forces clashing with some of them, as Hamas marked 32 years of its founding.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said five Palestinians were hurt in the clashes. The border demonstrations were part of the weekly March of Return protests that began last March and resumed earlier this month after a three-week hiatus following a large-scale battle in November between the IDF and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
On December 18th, Likud (Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s party) member of Israeli parliament and former Jerusalem mayor, Nir Barkat asked US Ambassador David Friedman for Washington to apply sanctions on Turkey.
The reason was that a newspaper report claimed Turkish authorities were allowing Hamas members to “plan attacks on Israel from their territory, including a past plot to assassinate him.”
Barkat said in a statement that he had spoken with Friedman and requested that the US lead international action against Turkey as it has done against Iran.
“Once again, we have confirmation for the fact that Turkey supports terror and provides a warm home for Hamas and anyone who wants to harm Israel,” Barkat said “It is not the first time that I have heard about a [terror] cell like this, but this time we understand that the Turks were actually helping them.”
Barkat said he intends to act so that “the US will lead a process of severe international sanctions on Turkey which is a terror-supporting regime just like Iran.”
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
Hamas are a terrorist entity. This is a fact .. they are similar to Alqaeda. I am not taking any sides. But they are terrorists
Correct , hamas was even supporting Al Nusrah in syria.
Now Andrei, lets think about that for a second. I bet you hamas is contolled by western intelligence agencies just like jabhat al toilet.
These terrorists all have the same boss.
so they are at it again – missile attacks on concentration camp gaza, an attack on people that has no means of defending itself after years of israeli killings and humiliation and starvation. Israel needs to be eradicated from the face of earth. a country that
a) operates an ethnical cleansing program against the palestinians on a scale that is about the same as what hitler came up with; b) steals the land of the palestinians and razes palestinians settlements to the ground – hitler called it lebensraum required for the german race and the israelis steal as much (of everything) as possible for the hymies; c) operates concentration camp, Gaza, with impunity and the world screams srebenica as if that in any way is comparable to the crimes the hymies are perpetrating against the palestinian people in Gaza, killing, starving and humiliating the interns, just missing the gas chambers but they fix the continuous killing of palestinians with snipers and missiles and aerial attacks.
and that illegal state is allowed to continue to exist – shame on the world.
Go get fitted for your suicide vest and practice a lot instead of spouting bull from your mom’s basement, kid.

How did you manage to voice your opinion nearly 44000 times, without getting even one vote? This means 43976 times nobody liked what you were saying – that’s a record, well done…
and a good reason for him to jump off a cliff and let sensible people alone. the dimwit.
It’s the dimwits around here who don’t know about the Disqus hack that auto down votes folk.
If you missed it, dodo, Disqus was hacked with a bot that down votes posters here that meet certain criteria. It mostly did this to Alt Right major posters but sometimes hit those of us in opposition who posted on Alt Right sites. One neo-Nazi got a few trillion down votes as I recall. Try to keep up.
Thanks for your answer – one up…
you’re worth than an amoeba.
Do you mean worse, or do you have a gay lisp?
Fuck off IDF apologist, go eat quinoa and choke on it will ya!
Seems it was your dead guru, Hitler, who loved to much on the human guano (not quinoa, Adolf or Ivan as the case may be). You’re dinner’s ready. Get to it.
Hah
Just because i disagree with you, you automatically think im some kind of neo nazi, what a stupid argument.
When your done dishing out racust tropes, full of intellectual garbage i will be here.
The way i see it, shit flows downhill, right into your open mouth.
Your position is built on a mountain of lies that is bound to crumble. We are all “nazis” in the west, if your too stupid to see rampant fascism in our society theb your head is in the sand.
I can see it, its right there in our face all day everyday.
blablabla or more blather from the dimwits!
They will be bombed everytime they shoot rockets, you’re lucky Bibi the traitor is the PM and he doesn’t wanna cause casualties only to scare them. I can’t wait for the day Gantz takes over, the IDF will not be stopped anymore. Like I said many times here, I don’t have a problem with the regular Gazan that wanna feed his family, but the Gazans that actively help Hamas need to die along with the terrorists scum. Too bad I am not in power to execute it.
Dude wake up, hamas is run by “your” guys with the help of qatar.
You are being played! Hamas=Al Nusrah= ISIS= USA and friends, including israel.
Yeah ofcourse Mike they are our friends, c’mon.. Hamas gets support from both iran and Turkey, Qatar is transfering money to the Gazan people but Hamas takes over those funds for their terror reign. Many Gazans hate Hamas and I don’t consider them my enemy, but a small part of the population helps Hamas and Islamic Jihad just like it happens in Lebanon. As far as I care, anyone that shoots rockets into an Israeli territory needs to die, period. I’m sick of our soft hand, Israelis are not sitting ducks. I blame only my government for this situation.
Soft hand?
Tabarnak if you have soft hands, howcome you have a fence around gaza and shoot unarmed protestors all the time.
Palestinians have their dignity too you know.
It is your friends running hamas, thats how israel is turning into a proto fascist police state, right in front of your eyes.
Its a set up brother, and you are part of the set up.
A police state benefits no one except the , for lack of a better term, apparitchik.
A fascist police state will benefit no one. Ask the black ethiopian jews what they think.
They are second class citizens in your country, a country that claims the be the home of ALL jews.
This is not responsible custodianship of the holy lands.
YOU deserve better than a police state and constantly quarelling with your neighbors.
70 some years.down this path to nowehere, isnt it time to change course? Arent you sick of war?
Every veteran i know is sick of war, and you should be too.
All these ressources wasted on killing each other, your messiah will never come if you keep it up, because you are violation of the words of GOD, BE NICE TO YOUR NEIGHBORS, DONT KILL, DONT STEAL!!!
I mean come on, its not that hard.
In mic mac, god is called papineau.
We have a saying where im from, ca prend pas la tete a papineau la. Translation: You dont need to be as smart as god to figure that one out.
Isnt it obvious there is a transnational elite that is pitching us all against one and another. Turkey is a prime example of the left hand not knowing what the right and is doing and on and on.
How in the fuck are we supposed to progress as humans if most of our time is spent on tribal warfare, to paraphrase the late Stan Friedman?
Progress comes from doing things differently
I agree with you, I hope we can see a change on both sides once we remove our corrupted PM that has been doing nothing since 2009.
we’re just waiting for the alliance of anti-israeli neighbours to get their act together and drive the hymies into the sea, forever and no come back ever . gantz or no gatz – the squatters are toast!
