Ongoing rocket sirens in southern Israel since 19:00 pm Wednesday.

IDF spokesperson reports over 70 rockets launched during the evening, most of which landed in open territory and 11 of which were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system.

15 Israelis have been injured from the rocket launches and many families are spending the night in the home shelters.

The parent organization of Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood. Send some rockets their way and see how they like it.

While Isreal has the UN distracted, perhaps Trump can take the opportunity to cut more funding.

“We are delivering on our promise. The resistance accepted the responsibility

More than just a mere coincidence they are also calling themselves "the resistance". It is international communism.

Gotta laugh when you realize all Hamas is doing is giving Iron Dome the opportunity to ‘learn’.

You can't make this crap up. I think hamas generals took their orders literally. "we need to level the playing field". So they fire rockets into open fields. LOL

Jerusalem is a failed government.
Any decent country would have killed off, or AT LEAST repatriated the Gaza occupation population back to Egypt (and Arabia, etc.) LONG BEFORE NOW!

the first and foremost duty of a national govt is to defend its citizens and land. The Israeli govt in Jerusalem keeps giving away its land ... and has utterly failed to remove the dangerous terrorist murder threats on its northern border (150,000 rockets aimed at Israeli communities, cities, schools)...........as Jersualem has also failed utterly to Drain the Swamp known as Gaza. Israel has a FAILED government .. which needs new people NOW who will eliminate the treats to her people
