A woman was killed and another person was critically wounded in Rishon Lezion after terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired a barrage of rockets in the direction of Tel Aviv late Tuesday night setting off sirens throughout the center of the country.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz gave a joint statement Tuesday night, declaring that the violence will continue for some time.

"Hamas and Islamic Jihad have paid and will continue to pay for their actions," said Netanyahu. "We are all mourning those killed and praying for those who were injured. We give our full support to the IDF and Israeli security forces. This campaign will take time." Israel has "the right and the obligation to act and will continue to do so," said Gantz.

And Biden’s $200 million to Hamas last month.

President Trump should have given Israel a dozen of our B-52’s.
The IAF could have entirely upgraded them and could now just ‘ archlight’ Gaza .

There after , send in the D10s and bulldoze the whole place flat .

A missed opportunity

Amazing how close we are to another Carter administration. All that’s left is for Iran to take some hostages…

Gaza will burn soon.

Enough of being tender toward the muzzies. Tell them that if more rockets are fired into Israel from Gaza, then the Al-Aqsa Mosque will be destroyed. If a single rocket is fired from Gaza, then hit the mosque with a small missile. Continue the garage against the mosque, missile per rocket from Gaza. Then clear the Temple Mount and dump the debris on Gaza.

Israel always have to fight in Gaza at least once every decade.

Can you 8magine a Wing of B’52s in IAF markings?

What a total deterrent that would be .
A strike package, escorted by IAF fighters. On it’s way to Iran....

“terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired a barrage of rockets in the direction of Tel Aviv”

Google maps has Tel Aviv about 35 miles from the Gaza Strip.

To send 700 rockets that far means a serious effort.

“Al-Aqsa Mosque will be...”

The Mosque belongs to all of Islam. The mosque and its administrators are not responsible for the rocket attacks.

The targeting must be more specific.

From what I’ve seen of Gaza, anything B-52s could do would be an improvement.

More seriously, the rocket factory/factories must be hit.

As if the muzzies are specific when they randomly drop rockets and balloon bombs on Israel. They target schoolchildren and coffee shops. All of Islam is evil. All of Islam should pay the price.

Statement by Donald J. Trump on situation in Israel:

When I was in office we were known as the Peace Presidency, because Israel’s adversaries knew that the United States stood strongly with Israel and there would be swift retribution if Israel was attacked.

Under Biden, the world is getting more violent and more unstable because Biden’s weakness and lack of support for Israel is leading to new attacks on our allies.

America must always stand with Israel and make clear that the Palestinians must end the violence, terror, and rocket attacks, and make clear that the U.S. will always strongly support Israel’s right to defend itself. Unbelievably, Democrats also continue to stand by crazed anti-American Rep. Ilhan Omar, and others, who savagely attack Israel while they are under terrorist assault.

If I’m not mistaken the “innocent civilian” jihadists have already sent some 800.... over the small land of Israel

And once they’re done, the Israelis would likely ask to keep a few for ‘experimental upgrades’, They’d probably swap out the engines, completely re-do the avionics, and turn the new “Super-BUFF” into the baddest aircraft in the world.

I saw some videos of what’s happening right now. It really makes my blood boil. I am sure Adonai has His vengeance planned even now.
