VIDEO: Palestinian Islamic Jihad Rocket Misfires Killing Gaza Civilians, Israel Falsely Blamed
Over fired 580 rockets towards Israel since Friday, many of them falling short and landing in Gaza.
As Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) an other Gaza-based terrorist groups step up rocket fire at Israel, Gaza residents are again victims of misfired missiles.
On Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released a video showing a rocket fired by the Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists hitting Palestinian residents in Jabalia, Gaza. The misfired rocket killed 5 children and left 15 injured, the Israeli media reported.
Palestinian terrorists have used their bases in Gaza to fire close to 580 rockets towards Israel since they escalated the conflict on Friday — with only half of them reaching the Israeli airspace. “Iron Dome, which is used when the incoming projectile is headed for populated areas, intercepted 200 of them. In addition, 120 projectiles fell short and landed in the Gaza Strip,” The Times of Israel reported Saturday.

Israeli officials on Saturday released evidence revealing PIJ’s hand in the Jabalya rocket strike. “We have in our possession videos that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this incident was not the result of an Israel Defense Forces’ strike. Israeli security forces did not strike in Jabalya in the past few hours,” Israel’s Public Diplomacy Directorate said a statement obtained by the Legal Insurrection.
“It has been irrefutably proven that this incident was the result of the misfiring of a rocket launched by Islamic Jihad. Following reports in Palestinian and international media, an investigation took place which unequivocally showed that this was not an Israeli strike but rather, a rocket launched from within the Gaza Strip which fell in the heart of Jabalya,” the agency added.

The Legal Insurrection has repeatedly highlighted mainstream media’s complicity in covering up war crimes committed by Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups (our posts debunking similar media narrative during the Gaza conflicts 2021 and 2014).
As we reported last year, close to a “two-thirds of the casualties reported in Gaza were Palestinian terrorist operatives” during the Gaza conflict of May 2021.
As usual, CNN and other mainstream media outlets are again playing the useful idiots for Palestinian jihadis by parroting its propaganda meant to smearing Israel as an aggressor, without caring about the facts on the ground:
Hey @CNN, we fixed this headline for you.

Rocket Sirens Sounded Near Tel Aviv, Jerusalem
Despite the Iron Dome missile defense system intercepting most of the incoming Gaza rockets, some of them still slip though and hit residential areas in southern Israel.
“A rocket launched from Gaza into Israel by Palestinian terrorists hit a residential home in the southern city of Sderot, causing extensive damage to the structure,” the Israeli TV channel i24News reported Saturday. “The family, who took refuge in the shelter, were unharmed.”
Since Palestinian terrorists began firing rockets on Friday, sirens have been reported in southern and central Israel, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
“Rocket sirens sound in the southern part of Tel Aviv and the central cities of Rishon Lezion and Holon, for the first time since violence escalated between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group on Friday,” The Times of Israel reported Friday.
“Incoming rocket sirens are sounding in communities on the outskirts of Jerusalem. There are initial reports of Iron Dome interceptions over the area,” the news outlet noted in a separate report Sunday morning.
IDF Target’s Islamic Jihad’s Leadership
While Palestinian terrorist outfits fire indiscriminately — hurting Gazans and Israeli civilians alike, the IDF precision strikes are effectively eliminating the terrorists masterminds in Gaza.
After killing top PIJ operative Tayseer Jabari on Friday, the IDF eliminated another senior commander, Khaled Mansour, of the same jihadi outfit Saturday evening.
“The operation to eliminate Khaled Mansour, along with his assistant Ahmed al-Madlal, was carried out in cooperation with the Shin Bet, according to the military,” the Israeli broadcaster Ynet News reported.
“IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen Ran Kochav said Mansour held the parallel position to Tayseer Jabari, who was the group’s northern command chief and who was killed in a strike on Friday, effectively kickstarting the latest military campaign in the Strip, dubbed Operation Breaking Dawn,” the news outlet explained.
Updates:
GAZA ROCKETS AGAIN TARGET TEL AVIV, CENTRAL ISRAEL
On Sunday afternoon, Palestinian terrorists again fired a fresh barrage consisting of over 50 rockets toward Tel Aviv and central Israel. No casualties were reported so far. The Times of Israel reported:
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it has not received any reports of direct injuries from the rockets fired from Gaza toward Tel Aviv and the surrounding metropolitan area.
MDA says it treated several people who were lightly hurt while running to protected areas, as well as a number of people suffering from shock.
According to Channel 12 news, two rockets were intercepted above Tel Aviv and another was intercepted above Ben Gurion Airport.

Comments
My main criticism of Israel: the Israelis are too kind.
Use artillery to destroy every building in Gaza. Then turn the rubble into pebbles and the pebbles into sand.
Unfortunately the Defense Department’s legal advisers would veto such an order, and if it were issued the IDF’s own legal advisers would order it to disobey. And if anything like this actually happened the courts would throw everyone responsible, down to the individual soldiers who fired the rockets, into prison.
Israel will never be a free country until it overthrows the judicial / legal establishment that is its true government.
“Israel will never be a free country until it overthrows the judicial / legal establishment that is its true government.”
Huh?
I might issue a similar statement about the USA, but if I did, I certainly wouldn’t put the word “true” anywhere in it. (Because that’s the whole point.)
I find a lot of fault with you, Milhouse. But I had to upvote you here. I know you’re just the messenger of bad news. The enemy is unfortunately within.
I agree, dredges of the Middle East have been conducting war against Israel for generations, stop handling them with kid gloves. Wars are ended by killing enough people and destroying enough property, that the aggressor begs for it to end.
Uh oh. Another workplace accident. This time, however, instead of blowing themselves up they have hurt innocent children.
Innocent now. In a few more years, almost certainly indistinguishable from the launch officers.
“If you had a time machine, would you kill Hitler before his rise to power?”
Who knows — maybe these guys did it without even needing the time machine.
At what age are their children no longer innocent? maybe 8, most certainly by 12.
I am sure the launching co-ordinates have been obliterated.
“Israel Falsely Blamed”
Oho! The tried-and-true “Look What You Made Me Do” defense!
‘Civilians’
I don’t believe there are any civilians in Gaza. The whole city is at war with Israel.
Here’s a question that should be asked, but never is: How many Gazan lives have been saved by Iron Dome?
Dear Israel, the Palestinians do not believe you. Sorry. That’s just the way it is, and the way it will be forever.
Best wishes.
