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.

Hamas in a statement: “We are delivering on our promise. The resistance accepted the responsibility to even the playing field with the enemy and it is succeeding in doing so.”

YES I have in fact tried to tell USA’s political hacks to defend our country.
1. repatriate, deport the Muslim invaders immediately!
2. secure the border (whether by fence or other means) so that only legal people get in
3. eliminate Iran’s nuclear and ICBM threats without further delay, before the crazy Iranian mullahs can deploy, launch them against us as they repeatedly promise to do

item 1 will drive the communist leftist IslamoNazi mass media Crazy, but it can be done .. with resolve.
item 2 I think (have no expertise) can be done with some fencing and the rest will have to be done elsewhere (since foreigners can get into USA easily on tourist and student and work visas and then just stay forever...we know some of the Muslim invaders get in sneaking over the Mex border but many more seem to get in through the front door...remember how USA actually gave the power to issue American entry visas to the enemy dictatorship in Saudi?! Even that crime isn’t necessary, as the same dangerous people can just pick up USA visas at dozens of American offices around the world)

terrorists probably got airstrikes in reply (the terroroist firers probably scoot and then use the reply attack in their propaganda as ‘an unprovoked israeli attack’ (the usual lies)

State of war ?? Israelis should just push their enemies far away and have a dead zone between them and these attackers to make it much harder fro them to continue with these terrorist attacks..

If that pushed the Palestinians into the sea - so be it. Time for the palestinians to slit the throats of their own fanatics (who likely terrorize their own people anyway).

Israel should bomb Iraq every time this happens. They should also bomb US interests since Obama gave Iran the money to give to Hamas. This is on the US as much as it is Hamas and Iraq since Obama funded them.

Yes, because they only understand one thing so let the IDF/IAF be the providers of it!
