Hamassholes fire rockets at Israel, IDF strikes their facilities in Gaza

Israel's Iron Dome killed two rockets heading its way into Israel to do as much random killing as possible. But a third rocket fell and caused damage to a building in the Shaar Hanegev region, on the border of Gaza, The Times of Israel reported.

So Israel fought back with planes and tanks, striking two Hamas facilities in the northern Gaza Strip.

The last rocket attack at Israel perpetrated by the Palestinians was on December 18, after two weeks of rocket attacks earlier this month.

Although Hamas facilities were targeted, most of the recent rocket attacks were probably launched by other anti-Zionist (read 'anti-Semitic') Gaza-based terrorist groups. But Hamas maintains total military and political control over Gaza and has refused to stop their attacks, so Israel has every right and reason to target the Hamassholes.

At the time of the latest attack a commemoration honoring Staff Sgt. Oron Shaul, who was killed in 2014, was taking place and was interrupted by the "Code Red" alert for the rockets. An army official was asked if the attack was intentional and responded that it "absolutely could be" the case.

The military censor didn't allow the exact location of the strike to be published as it could help terror groups to fine-tune their targeting for future attacks. However the launchers were also directed toward the area where the ceremony was being held at Kibbutz Kfar Aza, overlooking the area where Shaul was killed. The time and location of the event were published beforehand.

Usually rockets from Gaza are launched at night while the Israeli children and their parents are asleep and make easy targets.
