GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Rockets streamed out of Gaza and Israel pounded the territory with airstrikes Wednesday as the most severe outbreak of violence since a 2014 war took on many hallmarks of that devastating 50-day conflict, with dozens killed and no resolution in sight.
Palls of gray smoke rose in Gaza, as Israeli airstrikes levelled two apartment towers and hammered the militant group’s multiple security installations, destroying the central police compound.
In Israel, barrages of hundreds of rockets fired by Gaza’s Hamas rulers and other militants at times overwhelmed missile defenses and brought air raid sirens and explosions echoing across Tel Aviv, Israel’s biggest metropolitan area, and other cities.
The death toll in Gaza rose to 48 Palestinians, including 14 children and three women, according to the Health Ministry. More than 300 people have been wounded, including 86 children and 39 women. Six Israelis, including three women and a child, were killed by rocket fire, and dozens of people were wounded.
While the rapidly escalating conflict has brought images familiar from 2014 Israel-Hamas war, the past day has also seen a startling new factor: A burst of fury from Israel’s Palestinian citizens in support of those living in the territories and against Israel’s recent response to unrest in Jerusalem and its current operations in Gaza.
Amid those protests, communal violence erupted in several mixed Jewish-Arab Israeli cities, including the burning of a Jewish-owned restaurant and a synagogue...

Anyone notice the media does not mention that linkage?
This new intifada is Iran retaliating for Israel's recent successes against them.
But soon we should expect a few IDF armored brigades to enter Gaza and make it real quiet.
Kill them all!
This needs to be a weekly headline.
Positive news!
They were until Biden sent them money. Trump had stopped the funding of them. Biden started it back. This is the result.
I see a clear pattern: everything Biden touches turns to s___.
“But soon we should expect a few IDF armored brigades to enter Gaza and make it real quiet.”
Yes, then the Ragheads will request a cease fire. Then, they will re-arm. Then they attack again hoping to be lucky enough to take out a key leader of Israel.
These tactics will continue to succeed so long as the supply of lily livered state leaders begging Israel to take it easy on the 12th century savages doesn’t run out. What needs to happen is for Israel to once and for all decimate the savages then put up with the caterwauling from all the leftists, then tell them all to pound sand!
Has the White House lowered the flag yet?
Gee, didn’t the Paleoswinians agree to not have any rockets as part of being able to run Gaza? Whatever happened to that?
Israel should invade and go scorched earth as much as possible. Screw these scumbags, they’ve had every chance to live peacefully and prosperously, but have repeatedly chosen poverty to fund war. Give them what they want, good and hard!
AYE LADDIE, YER A MAN AFTA ME OWN HEART!
“DECIMATE” IS A STRONG WORD, BUT NOT ENOUGH.
“EXTERMINATE” IS MORE TO MY WAY OF THINKING.
DITTOS! YOU’RE RIGHT AS CAN BE!
No need to send in ground troops as they will be walking into a hornet’s nest.
It is enough to knock down empty apartment dwellings in rows of 7, neighborhood after neighborhood causing a humanitarian crisis within the strip whereby the HAMAS government terror group will have to assist their own people...or not.
This could be very effective in shutting them down without killing too many - this is what the Western world wants so it can be accomplished with little bloodshed.
The only way to get the rockets to stop is to root them out.
House by house. Hole by hole.
And killing everyone who resists.
That’s boots on the ground.
that sounds excellent! what aim! congrats to the IDF!
““EXTERMINATE” IS MORE TO MY WAY OF THINKING.”
I live in Florida and we would have a hard time without our exterminators who get rid of the pests. I agree on the remedy for Israel’s pests.
