By Haaretz Service Tags: IAF Gaza Israel news IDFThe Israel Air Force successfully bombed two targets in the southern Gaza Strip - a weapon manufacturing facility in and an arms smuggling tunnel on the Rafah border - in a joint IDF-ISA operation overnight Thursday, the IDF Spokesperson reported.
The airstrikes were launched in response to a Gaza Qassam rocket attack on southern Israel earlier Thursday that damaged a building in Kibbutz Nirim, the IDF said.
More than 25 rockets and mortars have been fired at Israel from Gaza since the beginning of the year.

Interpol is so busy looking for "30" or more Jews who sopoustu been in Dubai the day this terrorist and murder was killed that they won't have the time to "investigate" the atak on civilians by Hamas terrorists, why I'm not supervised? they never have, is it beckose they don't get bribed by Israel like they get by Arabs???

We better run away vik,she's comming and you know how she hates when Israel hits back.My guess is at least five tearful posts.
But waited till rockets were fired from gaza to assault "a weapon manufacturing facility" and an "arms smuggling tunnel" Are these IAF code words for a hospital, school, grain mill or Mosque?
You beat me to it.
Building homes is bad, but firing rockets is good in the eyes of obama and biden. Where is the immediate comdenation of the PALs for attacking israeli civilians on the kibbuts?
