Islamic Jihad: Attack Us and We'll Up the Ante Islamic Jihad threatens to fire long-range rockets at Israel if the IDF strikes in Gaza
The Islamic Jihad terrorist group is threatening to up the ante and fire long-range rockets at Israel if the IDF strikes in Gaza.
"We intend to expand the range of the rockets if Israel retaliates tonight," the organization’s spokesman said on Wednesday evening, according to Channel 2 News. “We will fire beyond the four-five kilometer range we have fired so far."
The group threatened that a response will come after every Israeli violation of the ceasefire agreement, but at the same time stressed, “We have not ended the ceasefire of the last few months. If Israel sits quietly, we will not fire.”

It's going to be very interesting to see what Israel does. It's now early morning in Israel, so we should know soon. I think I'll see what I can find in the news.

I'm not sure when this happened, but I think it was earlier in the day, before nightfall.
Israeli planes hit Gaza in response to rocket strikes

Israel is also reported to have closed border crossings with the Gaza Strip. Militants fired more than 30 rockets into southern Israel, officials say. An Israeli military spokesman said five hit populated urban civilian areas. He said that a number of others were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defence system.

Have you ever noticed that it's pointless and futile to attempt to shame shameless people? Why bother? The best advice is a bit like the saying: "Never teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig." Depending on the world's righteous indignation to attempt pressure on people who have no desire whatsoever to be righteous -- including for example how shameful launching rockets at people not attacking you, i.e., something that ought to appear to reasonable people as an unrighteous act -- is a colossal waste of time and breath.

They can spin anything that happens in the Middle East. They are always the helpless victims but take no responsibility for their actions. I do not see either side stepping down unless a peace treaty is brokered.

They the (Muslims) have perfected the art of propaganda. This was started by Arafat as a means to get world sympathy for their cause..it worked and it is still working.
