Hamas, other jihadists fire 55 rockets and mortars into Israel

Targeted at civilian areas. "Dozens of rockets, mortars hit south," by Ilana Curiel for Ynet News, October 8 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip fired some 55 rockets and mortar shells at southern Israel early Monday morning. The shells landed in communities in the Eshkol Regional Council. There were no reports of injuries, although two buildings were lightly damaged and several goats were killed due to an explosion in an animal corner.

Hamas' military wing Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and the Ansar al-Quds group have claimed responsibility for Monday morning's attack on the south. They claimed the attack was a response to the IAF's airstrike on Gaza on Sunday.

"This blessed operation came in response to continuous and repeated enemy crimes against our defenceless people," a joint statement said.

In response to Monday's mortar attack on southern Israel, the IDF carried out three aerial strikes and one ground assault on Hamas terror hubs and rocket launching pads.

The first rockets were launched shortly after 6:00 am. Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired at least three mortar shells which then exploded in Israel. One of the shells exploded near a residential building in the Eshkol Region, slightly damaging it.....

These attacks will continue unless and until Israel is prepared to instantly and unapologetically delete the entire block from which every missile is launched. No questions, no hand wringing, no defensive posture, no kowtowing to the spineless and clueless "civilised" world that would rather die holding the moral high ground than defending it.

Each time the peaceloving crybabies fire a missile into Israel from Gaza or Lebanon, everything within 50 yards should simply disappear twenty seconds later.

Or of course, continue sacrificing a stream of random worthless Jewish lives under the pretence that it is rational to endure an escalating 60-year old war of attrition, and base that pathetic premise on the fact that Israel has managed to survive so far.

Peace will be achieved with Islamists by FORCE. Can anyone imagine a Palestinian state next to Israel? No way!

These muslims always lie that Israel attacks them even when they are killing each other in Syria, Iraq, Afganistan, Pakistan, Libya, Egypt and all over. What a sick religion and culture. No dignity whatsoever.

55 rockets and mortars in one day ... wow ... not so "defenceless people" after all :-)

My thought exactly.

Easier said than done. Don't forget that these mohammedan cowards fire their rockets next to a civilian facility such as a school or a hospital. Israel will never wipe off a hospital to get some low life mohammedans.
That's the difference between the civilized man and the savage, between Us and Them.

"Easier said than done. Don't forget that these mohammedan cowards fire their rockets next to a civilian facility such as a school or a hospital. Israel will never wipe off a hospital to get some low life mohammedans."

Give suitable notice to the world community, then do it with no regrets or apologies, once, twice, a dozen or a hundred times until even the people of Gaza finally figure that they have fewer to no schools or hospitals left and more empty spaces in their environment. Let them blame the Jews, they do that anyway, and as the Jews are routinely condemned for daring to defend themselves, and bizarrely even when they do not defend themselves, then they should grow a spine and defend themselves effectively.

Arabs are traditional cowards, as you say, and in this mode they tend to stop fighting when their intended victims respond with the same viciousmess that the Koran endorses for nonbelievers.

Unfortunately, the West has not suffered enough through tolerating Islam, and its spineless, clueless leaders and media are incapable of comprehending the consequences of not setting aside democratic niceties to confront and eradicate this dysfunctional ideology that has no place in a civilised world yet insists only one or the other can survive.

For years I bought the propaganda that Israel is a terrorist State oppressing Palestinians; ignorance on my part. This will to full blown war as the only way to resolve the "Palestinian Question", without doubt. Israel is ready and always will be; the Palestinian Authority, Hamas & other terrorist groups never will be. Personally I hope Israel drives out all these factions and reclaims its full territory- the sooner the better.

True BUT... there comes a point where force is the last option. At that point, extreme force is justified and essential. Islam is criminal insanity and must be treated as such. To hell with it.

Israel has replied in kind! (According to BBC reports)

Why can't other govts respond to Islamic jihad in kind!

"55 rockets and mortars in one day"

And, mind you, fired from the "world biggest concentration camp".
Some "concentration camp"...

"True BUT... there comes a point where force is the last option. At that point, extreme force is justified and essential. Islam is criminal insanity and must be treated as such. To hell with it."

Force may well be the last option, but if that force comes to grief as an 'ethical' war that uncompromisingly protects the yuman rights of an enemy that have no regard for their own lives and even less for ours, then we may as well not bother with the pretence.

In Iraq and Afghanistan, for example, yuman rites driven rules of engagement do not allow the return of fire when an ambusher throws his weapon down after emptying it into your unit, or if he is firing from a position around which civilians are or 'may' be, while terrorists captured in the field must be mirandised. No war can be won when the superior force sacrifices its own people in ways that leave the enemy rotflhbo.

As for 'extreme force', our spineless leaders are obsessed with hearts and minds over the cold hard reality of defeating the enemy.

The Third Jihad, which we are witnessing, could well be the last since it seems the most advanced civilisation in the history of the world would rather cling to the moral high ground and concede everything else, than effectively and ruthlessly defend itself against the most backward and savage.

I wonder if it was these guys (well worth 19 seconds of your time, I assure you)
