Israeli shelling has killed one in Gaza, and injured three, on Thursday, whilst a home-made shell has struck a bus in Beer Sheva, southern Israel, critically injuring one and moderately injuring another.
At the time of this report, the Israeli assault on Gaza is ongoing, and currently sources report that in Gaza there has been one fatality, 50 year old Mahmoud al-Manasra, and 15 have been injured including two women and three children.
Israeli Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, has stated that he has instructed the Israeli military to respond “speedily and with every means necessary” to the home made shells into Beer Sheva.
Today’s escalation in violence follows Israeli air force bombardment of the “tunnels area” on the Gaza-Egypt border Wednesday night, and an escalation in tension between Israel and Gaza in the past two weeks.
Israeli soldiers invaded on Thursday morning the Aqaba village, east of the central West Bank city of Tubas, declared it as a closed military zone, demolished two homes bulldozers internal roads.
Sami Sadeq, head of the Al Aqaba village council, stated that 95% of the buildings in the village are under the threat of being demolished by the army. This includes the only mosque of the village, the kindergarten and many homes and structures.
Qais Awwad, head of the Awarta village Council, near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, stated that Israeli soldiers invaded Awarta and detained hundreds of residents, including more than a 100 women, especially from the eastern area of the village.
Soldiers broke into dozens of homes and kidnapped hundreds of residents apparently as part of an investigation into the stabbing attack that was carried out more than a month ago, that led to the death of a settler family from Itamar settlement.
Israeli soldiers confiscated on Wednesday several agricultural tractors that belong to Palestinian residents on the Jordan Valley, and took them to a nearby illegal settlement.
Local sources reported that the soldiers installed a number of roadblocks an stopped the tractors while the residents were heading to their agricultural lands.

Not "whilst" , AFTER
Not "a home-made shell", an ANTI-TANK MISSILE, supplied by Iran or Syria and fired by terrorists in Gaza
Not just "a bus", a SCHOOL BUS
Not critically injurinng "one", but a CHILD
In other news, Iron Dome has been successfully deployed, destroying a non-home-made Grad fired by terrorists in Gaza, whilst in Eastern Sudan, bold Israeli military action has prevented Hamas importing chemical weapons from Libya.

Zionist butchers carried out a Holocaust in Gaza every bit as wicked as any during WW2, with the active support of scum like 'hawhaw'. 'Hawhaw' and his friends have been shipping millions of tons of nailbombs and chemical weapons into Israel in readiness of a second Holocaust, a Holocaust intended to exterminate tens of thousands of 'sub Humans'.
I should point at that 'Holocaust' was the word used to describe their attack on Gaza by the nazi scum that run Israel.
Israel has 200+ plutonium genocide weapons pointed at every major Muslim city across the planet, each nuclear bomb designed to exterminate all life within a radius of 10s of kilometres. Each bomb is stamped with the 'star of david', and covered in the same racist graffiti that 'hawhaw' and his friends wrote on the missiles used to bomb schools, homes, hospitals, and infrastructure during their last Holocaust in Gaza (go google the photos that Israel proudly presented to the world where Israeli schoolchildren were lined up to sign the bombs)..
Israel, and its supporters like 'hawhaw' have stated that its people are a 'master-race', and the 'sub-Humans' in the areas surrounding Israel are fit either work as Isreali slaves under the boots of their masters, or die. To this end, Israel has sought military might, and propaganda networks modelled perfectly on the ambitions and methods used by Adolf Hitler, and the Nazis.
The story above of Israeli butcher squads kidnapping 100 terrified females from a palestinian village, and taking them to an Israeli rape factory for 'interrogation' (and we all know the so-called methods of questioning used by Israel) is daily experience suffered by the people designated as 'sub-Human' by 'hawhaw' and its friends.
You will notice how proud 'hawhaw' was that the hundreds of billions of pounds worth of death dealing state of the art military equipment given to the racist scum of Israel by Britain, American, France, Germany etc., is perfectly effective at exterminating a target armed with thousands of pounds worth of sticks and stones. You will notice how excited 'hawhaw' and his friends get over the fact that members of the Gaza extermination camp are butchered if they dare to approach the fences of the camp, in exactly the same way that Nazi guards shot dead any prisoner that dared approach the concentration camp fence.
That's right, using high-powered, state of the art optics, Israeli death squads watch any citizen of Gaza, child (especially child), women or man who dares to walk upon their own land within miles of the border, and gut-shoot them when they come within range, targeting for immediate murder any emergency personnel that attempt to help.
Now 'hawhaw' was sitting at its computer waiting for an alert from the 'megaphone' software, no doubt wearing its most prized possession, the ONE-SHOT TWO KILLS shirt awarded to all official members of Israel's sniper units. 'hawhaw's shirt- an official product of the Israeli army, depicts an Israeli sniper shooting dead a pregnant Palestinian women.
When you support Israel in any form, you support a nation of depraved genocidal racists that officially reward their so-called soldiers for shooting dead pregnant women of what they officially designate 'sub-Human' 'races'.
