Israeli officials say no response yet to rocket fire | Despite unconfirmed reports of explosions in northern Gaza, Israel says it has yet to respond to the continuing rocket barrage from Gaza that has been going on for over an hour.And at 9:18 am:
IDF drones are also being reported in Gaza’s skies, though Israel has yet to open fire after some 75 minutes of rocket fire from Gaza... Initial reports from Gaza suggest five Palestinians were killed in an apparent work accident as they handled an explosive device intended to be used against IDF troops. [Times of Israel]And at 9:28 am:
As rocket fire from Gaza escalates some 90 minutes after Hamas rejected extending the 72-hour truce, it’s worth noting that Hamas is not acting in accordance with the wishes of the vast majority Gazans. An overwhelming 92 percent of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip are in favor of a long-term ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, and 72% hope their leaders will work to achieve a lasting peace agreement with the Jewish state, a new poll has found.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
