From the Washington Post.While Israel held its fire, the militant group Hamas did not"After more than a week of steady attacks, Israel halted its air attacks at 9 a.m. Tuesday, heeding an Egyptian proposal for a cease-fire."....
"But Hamas militants did not agree to the cease-fire. The military wing of the Islamist organization started lobbing mortar rounds at Israel within minutes after Israel’s attacks stopped."....
"At the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, crowds gathered to throw shoes and eggs at the Palestinian Authority’s health minister, who represents the crumbling “unity government” in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The minister was turned away before he reached the hospital, which has become a de facto headquarters for Hamas leaders,
who can be seen in the hallways and offices."....
"Israel said that more than 140 rockets and mortars were launched at it from Gaza during the day."If Mexico, Canada, or Cuba were to launch mortars and missiles over the border at us, what would we do.?
And remember - the
Qassam rockets are not guided missiles aimed at military targets.
"These rockets cannot be fired precisely to target specific military objectives in or near civilian areas. Human Rights Watch issued an analysis, stating, that "such weapons are therefore indiscriminate when used against targets in population centers."And about that video? Isn't it amazing that "someone" just happened to be filming that particular building, at that particular time?I wonder what the odds are of that?
"Husari lived next door to a Hamas operative, who was the target, neighbors said. Israel telephoned the man, dropped two non-lethal warning rockets on the roof, and then leveled the whole building five minutes later. There were no injuries."People believe what they want to believe.
Oh yeah, one more thing.At the 4 second mark in that video you hear the sound of that small "warning Shot" that hits the top of the building.
At the 22 second mark you have an explosion at the base of the building.
A silent missile? A silent shell?
As I said, people believe what they want to believe.
