(IsraelNN.com) IDF soldiers uncovered missiles and anti-tank rocket launchers in a Gaza schoolyard in late Thursday. The anti-tank missile launcher and a stack of missiles were found at a school in Sajaiya, in northern Gaza, during routine counter-terrorism operations.

The soldier was struck down when terrorists fired anti-tank shells at the troops. He was airlifted to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva.
Soldiers from the elite Givati Brigade, tank corps and engineering units have been carrying out counterterrorism operations throughout Gaza since Thursday, when Islamic Jihad operatives attacked the Erez Crossing.
Suicide bombers detonated a truck bomb on the Gaza side of the terminal. No IDF soldiers were wounded in the blast. A short time later, IAF pilots tracked down a vehicle carrying Islamic Jihad operatives fleeing the scene and confirmed killing at least two of the terrorists.
Terrorists also attacked soldiers at the Sufa and Karni crossings on Thursday, two more conduits through which humanitarian supplies, including food, medicine, medical equipment and other essential supplies are delivered to Gaza each week. One terrorist was killed and several others were wounded.
In another attack, terrorists fired mortar shells Thursday at the Nahal Oz fuel depot, the terminal through which cooking gas and other fuel supplies are pumped into Gaza. The Nahal Oz fuel depot has been attacked by terrorists numerous times this year. In one instance, Hamas terrorists robbed 60,000 liters of gasoline from their own Palestinian Authority Gaza Power Authority, earmarked for local use.
Earlier this week Egyptian mediators claimed that Israel had agreed to a halt in counterterrorist operations, to coincide with a cessation in Arab terrorist attacks on Israel. Thursday's attempted suicide attack involved a truck loaded with four tons of explosives, which would have caused heavy casualties if alert soldiers had not fired on the vehicle before it reached the Israeli side of the crossing.

Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas terrorist organization that currently controls Gaza, said Thursday night that the group would not agree to a temporary ceasefire, or "tahadiyeh", unless Israel agrees to open all the crossings. He also threatened to withdraw from negotiations if the group continued to be "humiliated" by Israel.
Class project?
“Like the latest fashion,
“Like a spreading disease,
“The kids are strappin’ on their way to the classroom,
“Getting weapons with the greatest of ease...”
The MSM won’t report it but its in the Israeli media. The world gets mad at Israel for defending its self while the Palestinian’s pull this kind of crap.
This is why the innocent get killed when you hide your weapons in a school yard.
This is not suprising or shocking.. under that school is a burried complex holding tons more of this stuff... and if they go to war again, the kids in that school are human shields and the muslims know that they are safe.. because Israel won’t bomb the site, even though they know its covering a weapons site... and if they do, they’ll parade it as more proof of Jewish barbarism.
There is no wonder Liberals love radical Muslims, their world views both spawn from the same mentally deranged foundations.
Muslim bravery: hiding weapons in school yard.
“found at a school in Sajaiya”
Did Sajaiya almost win American Idol last year? And here I thought he was just a bad singer.
