IAF renews sorties over Gaza hitting dozens of targets; Palestinians report first deaths since cease-fire collapse; IDF says 50 rockets fired at Israel since 4 p.m.; Iron Dome intercepts six.
Hours after rockets shattered the cease-fire and hit Gaza frontier communities, three loud explosions were heard over Tel Aviv, shortly before 11 p.m., for the first time in over a week.
In total, the IDF said that 50 rockets were fired at Israel since 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday until around midnight. Six rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome rocket defense system.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday rejected Palestinian charges that Israel was to blame for a breakdown in ceasefire talks in Cairo, saying rocket fire from Gaza "made continuation of talks impossible."

If Israel wanted to give Hamas a smackdown, doing it while Obama is on vacation and Ferguson is in flames would be an opportune time. Ya think he interrupted his vacay earlier cause he got a message about this?

According to the headline the truce somehow broke down and rockets his Israel, having nothing to do with the Palestinians I guess.

Just tell Obama that Israel is building a new 19 hole
course in Gaza, he’ll get right over there.

Interesting how there was an attempted coup on the Palistinian Authority by Hamas earlier, Obama breaks into his vacay to briefly go to Washington and after jetting back to his vacay, Israel launches an attack on a Hamas leader, and prepared to launch another invasion into Gaza.

Gaza and the rest of the enemy needs to be destroyed.
How long does the world have to wait for Isr to finally take care of business?

Ferguson doesn’t have a course, anyway I made a mistake
Israel isn’t opening a 19 hole course, it’s an 1800 hole
course.

...and the holes are big enough for Bathhouse Barry to participate the course. Might want to watch out for the hazards on the course.

Ever notice how the media puts it. Palestinians are killed by Israelis and Israelis are killed by ‘’rockets’’.

It wasn’t really a “truce breakdown”. That implies that both sides mutually pulled out of the truce. It really was the insane, blood-lusting palis shooting rockets into Israel without provocation. A more accurate headline would be “Degenerate palis attack Israel with rockets, breaking the truce”.
