    No injuries were reported in the Israeli strike or the earlier attack from Gaza.

    The military said Monday’s rocket attack on Israel from Gaza was the 18th since January.

    Military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner says that “the intolerable reality of civilians continually living under the threat of Gaza rockets is unacceptable, unbearable and must stop. Hamas must enforce their responsibilities or face the consequences. We will act against those that attack us and hold those that enable attacks against Israel accountable.”

    A shadowy Gaza group, inspired by the Islamic State organization, claimed responsibility for the attack.

    Israel holds the militant Islamic group Hamas that rules Gaza responsible for all attacks stemming from the territory.

    Hamas said one of its training sites and other infrastructure were hit in the airstrikes.

    How long ago did this strike happen? No condemnation yet from Mon-Ki-Moon or Obama yet?

    Clearly knows about these weapon warehouses. How can they allow them to exist??Why are they only destroying them in reaction to terror instead of pre-emptive strikes? This is 100% against halacha. Once who comes to kill you, you kill him first.

    Israel must take China’s lead in eliminating terrorism by eliminating the terrorists and their leader masterminds. The first step being to expel all media, journalists, and CNN, declaring the entire region a closed military zone, implementation of Marshall law, then a final sweep with paramilitary troops from ground and air to clean up via elimination of all possible threats from the enemy, and in terms of sealing up the tunnels, the final solution would be to divert all of Israels sewage and waste via pipe through the tunnels to Gazas waste water treatment plan, and/or to Gazas open sewers. This should run 24/7.

    Anonymous #4 , you sound like Kaifinger in another post!
    Do you really imagine a democratic country like Israel will do those things? Especially that sewer idea? It’s interesting but the world will say you are punishing all the non-violent people there. Granted any of them including even women and children can turn into a terrorist at a moment’s notice, as we have unfortunately seen r’l in the last few weeks, but Israel wants to keep up its image or at least not tarnish it more….
