Rocket Barrage Fired at Tel Aviv From Rafah, Hamas Stronghold Biden Pressuring Israel Not To Capture
Jerusalem Post: “A massive barrage of rockets targeted Tel Aviv and central Israel for the first time in months.”
While President Joe Biden and international courts mount pressure on Israel over the ongoing military operation in Rafah, Hamas on Sunday morning used the southern Gaza stronghold to fire a massive barrage of rockets towards Tel Aviv, Herzliya and other cities in central Israel.
The terror group Hamas unleashed the barrage of rockets on Israeli population centers while clamouring for a Gaza ceasefire on ‘humanitarian’ grounds. “A massive barrage of rockets targeted Tel Aviv and central Israel for the first time in months. The rockets were fired from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip,” the Jerusalem Post reported. “Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, with the al-Qassm Brigade, Hamas’s military wing,” the newspaper added.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed intercepting several Hamas rockets over the Israeli airspace. “Following the sirens that sounded in central Israel a short while ago, eight projectiles were identified crossing from the area of Rafah into Israeli territory,” the military said in a press release Sunday morning. “A number of the projectiles were intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array.”
At least one Israeli home sustained damage from a Hamas rocket. “A home in Herzliya was damaged in the barrage of rockets fired from Rafah toward central Israel,” The Times of Israel reported. “Video shows damage to a bedroom after a large piece of shrapnel or interceptor crashed into the building.”

IDF continues Rafah operation, destroys terror tunnel systems
Defying international pressure, the IDF was continuing its offensive against Hamas in the Rafah stronghold. One of the main objection of the Rafah operation is to destroying Hamas’s underground terrorist infrastructure. The military was uncovering terror tunnel and underground weapons cache in the area.
“During targeted operations in the area of Rafah, terrorist operatives who attempted to attack IDF troops were eliminated. During scans in the area, IDF troops located tunnel shafts and large quantities of weapons, including AK-47s, RPGs, grenades, and explosives,” The IDF said in a press release Sunday morning.
The IDF also destroyed Hamas rocket launchers attempting to targets Kerem Shalom, the main transit point for aid from Israel to Gaza. earlier this month, Hamas rocket fire killed four Israeli soldiers manning the humanitarian border crossing. “In addition, two rocket launchers in the Rafah area that were aimed at Kerem Shalom were struck overnight,” the IDF added.

“Over the past day, the IAF struck and destroyed over 50 terror targets across the Gaza Strip, including military structures, weapons storage facilities, missile launchers, observation posts, terrorist cells, and additional terrorist infrastructure,” the IDF statement added.
IDF uncovers weapons cache in northern Gaza
Israeli troops found rockets and weapons cache hidden in a school in northern Gaza. Gaza school, many of then run by the terrorist-infested United Nations Palestinian aid agency UNRWA, are systematically used by Hamas to hide weapons and underground terror tunnels systems.
“IDF troops continue operational activity in the Jabaliya area,” the IDF disclosed. “The troops conducted an intelligence-based, targeted raid on a weapons storage facility embedded inside a school where the troops located dozens of rocket parts and weapons. This is further evidence of the Hamas terrorist organization’s systematic exploitation of civilian infrastructure for its military activities.”

Lebanon: Israeli air force destroys Hezbollah terror targets
The Israeli air force hit Lebanon-based Hezbollah terror targets in night time strikes. The Iran-backed terrorist group has been using the territory to fire rockets and shells at northern Israeli towns and cities since October 7. “Overnight, fighter jets struck a number of Hezbollah military structures and terror infrastructure in the areas of Khiam and Ayta ash Shab in southern Lebanon,” the military said Sunday morning. “Additionally, IDF artillery struck in the areas of Khiam, Houla, Markaba and Kfarkela in southern Lebanon.”

To Brandon and his radical college students, “This is war. The only good Hamas is a dead one.”
Ignore Biden
Israel should be dropping the largest thermobaric bombs they can build on these targets. Maybe they should be collecting Propane tankers to either fill tunnels or to use as a large fuel air bomb.
Biden is a pathetic excuse for a President. Biden is an appeaser who is trying to destroy Israel. Biden is a weakling who prefers to reminisce about his imaginary fights against Corn Pop t0 confronting Iran. Someone needs to explain to Iran, Hamas, the Houthis and their ilk that you don’t tug on Superman’s cape–and it will never be Biden.
“Biden National Security Council Advisor: We Can’t Go Against Israel until Reelection; Israel ‘Lies, Bombs, and Kills All These Kids'”

Biden staffers are very experienced and qualified. So glad we can trust their judgment. Or can we?
The transparent non-transparent animus may be why: “Democrats Panic Over Jewish Voters”
“Jewish Dems have been struggling to justify Biden’s betrayal and, like Sheffey, they’re terrible at it. Forced to actually defend Biden’s record, instead of just attacking Trump as a threat to democracy, they flail, condescend, and insult their own base while trying to avert a crisis.
And the crisis is a catastrophic Jewish loss of support for Biden.
Biden was never popular among Jews. Many just voted the party line. But like other parts of the Democrat base, including black and Latino voters, the allegiance is fracturing under stress.”

The times, they are a changing.
Terminate with extreme prejudice.
The vile, evil, goose-stepping, genocidal, Jew-hating, Islamofascist Hamas terrorist-thugs know full-well that the equally vile and evil American Dhimmi-crats and European dhimmis have their back.
Fakestinian belligerence and terrorism against Israeli Jews have been directly enabled and encouraged by decades of stupid, feckless and indefensible appeasement of, kowtowing to, and deference shown to the fanatical and genocidal Fakestinian Arab invaders from Arabia, by Dhimmi-crats and dhimmis.
Hamas probably figured it was use-it-or-lose-it time. but they’ve helped Israel’s international affairs by making the cease-fire advocates look like fools.
The reason that Biden is pushing for Israel NOT to take Rafah is because it is taken then Hamas will not be able to use it as a rocket base to kill Israeli civilians. Which is a goal for this administration.
As far as the calls by the agencies of the UN for Israel to stand down and surrender, I note that I saw a report this morning [not yet confirmed] that several hostages’ bodies were found in a UN office in Rafah.
Israel needs to finish the job, granting no more quarter to Gazans than they would give to Israelis.
Subotai Bahadur
Oh heck, bodies of hostages were found in tunnels underneath the UNRWA offices in Gaza City. Of course, UNRWA denied knowing about the tunnels and any involvement with Hamas right up to the time a video was discovered showing UNRWA volunteers having discussions with Hamas terrorists. And yet, Israel still lets them into the Gaza Strip. Insanity on their part. Should close down all entries to the Gaza Strip and deal with Hamas and its supporters once and for all.
how long until fjb/omar instruct usa banks to not do business with israel??!!!
Upvote because I like your screen name.
Fuck Joe Biden. Wipe Hamas out.
Well, it’s not like this kind of thing is news: what’s good and right depends not on what is done but who does it, and whether they’re useful for whatever paragon is doing the pronouncing.
Level it. Then sink it (over those tunnels). Make it uninhabitable (at least in the short term).
Until you do that, you will not eliminate the threat.
