IAF hits targets in Gaza after Hamas calls for cease-fire

The Israel Air Force struck a building used for terror activities and three smuggling tunnels in in the Gaza Strip overnight Thursday after Hamas announced an immediate cease-fire in the Gaza Strip in an effort to reign in growing escalations.

After consulting with various other Palestinian terrorist factions in Gaza and other international Arab officials, Hamas said that the cease-fire went into effect at 11 p.m. Thursday. Hamas reportedly ordered all armed factions in Gaza to halt fire into Israel.

Earlier Thursday, the Hamas military wing, the Izzadin Kassam Brigades, claimed responsibility for firing a Kornet anti-tank missile at a children's schoolbus near Kibbutz Saad in the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council, which left a 16-year-old in critical condition and the driver in light condition.

The attack was "the first response to the continuing crimes of the occupation," a Hamas statement said.

In response to the attack, the IDF spokesperson said that the air force had struck nine targets in the Gaza Strip and that artillery forces had struck the area from where the anti-tank missile was fired.

Five Palestinians were killed and 33 injured in the strikes, Palestinian medical sources reported.

Speaking at the IDF's Southern Command earlier Thursday night, Defense Minister Ehud Barak spoke about the school bus attack and called it a "very serious event that hit deep into Israeli territory from deep within the Gaza Strip. That is something that we cannot accept," he added.

Commenting on IDF, IAF and artillery strikes on Gaza, the defense minister said: "The actions being taken right now are a response to [the attack] and they will continue as long as necessary in order to make clear that things like this cannot continue."

The responses by the IDF are both purposeful and effective, Barak said, adding that, "We see Hamas as responsible for everything originating in Gaza, and we expect that Hamas will understand what is allowed, and of course, what is forbidden."

This is a report from the 8th? Or the 7th?

Yes Israel hit Gaza again this morning in spite of the Hamas declared "all factions" cease fire that was supposed to have taken effect last night at 11 PM. But that's because the apparently Hamas was unable to enforce that cease fire and there were two rockets and a number of mortar rounds this morning.

Israeli Nazis exterminate 11 Humans in two days

08.04.2011 16:29

This article is, of course, another posting by the 'ONE SHOT TWO KILLS' EDL division of Israel's international supporters.

The depraved genocidal racist 'state' of Israel has declared to the world that it intends to slaughter tens of thousands of 'sub-Humans' in a second Holocaust in Gaza. To this end, the butchers of Israel have been escalating their campaigns of terror across Gaza, inviting pitiful responses which are then described in outlets like the BBC, The Guardian, The Independent (and here) as justifying the new Holocaust.

Only yesterday, the 'IDF' Nazi filth stormed a Palestinian village, and took away 100 females to Israeli rape-factories for 'interrogation'. Needless to say, this infinitely evil act has been praised across the planet by the 'ONE SHOT TWO KILLS' shirt wearing division of the Israeli megaphone propaganda department.

Do we forget so soon that a mere few months ago, the depraved rulers of Israel (to the cheering of Israel's supporters in the UK) imprisoned a 'sub-Human' for rape, declaring that although this man had consenting sex with a Jew, he had not declared that he belonged to a 'sub-Human' race to her beforehand, thus offending the 'race-purity' laws designed to keep the 'sub-Humans' in their place.

One might think that in the UK, given the long history of the fight for 'freedom of conscience' (which means a person's religious beliefs are a matter of the individual's conscience only, and may not be explored or defined by the state, EVER) every politician in the UK would have demanded the immediate arrest of every Israeli responsible for this 'rape' prosecution. Instead, 'Friends of Israel' within the three main political parties in the UK expressed longing for the day when British Muslims could be imprisoned for the same type of offence.

There will be no 'no fly zone' preventing the vilest, most racist, most militaristic regime, Israel, from using its billions of pounds of Holocaust weapons on several million Humans held prisoner with little more than sticks and stones. The psychopathic racist supporters of the 'master-race' in Israel found within the UK, USA, France and Germany, will see to that.
