Here we have yet again, jihadis in Gaza firing rockets blindly into areas full of civilians, both Israeli and Palestinian.
Israeli warplanes bombed a tunnel along the Gaza-Egypt border early Monday in response to Palestinian mortar and rocket attacks against Israeli targets on Sunday. Two Palestinian factions, the Popular Front and the Democratic Front, reportedly fired 12 mortars at the Erez border crossing. It was the first rocket attack since July 16.
At the time of the attack, two mortar rounds landed near an ambulance that was reportedly transferring Palestinian patients into Israel for medical treatment. Dr. Moaiya Hassanain, of the Gaza Health Ministry, said it was a “miracle” that no patients were injured.
Israel responded to the mortar attacks by striking a tunnel under the Palestinian city of Rafah, along the Gaza-Egypt border. Israel maintains the tunnel was being used to smuggle explosives from Egypt into Gaza Strip. No casualties were reported in either of the attacks, the Jerusalem Post reported.
You can bet that if the IAF had killed any jihadis, the Western media would be lamenting the loss, and accusing Israel of overreacting. Nevermind that the dumb S.O.B. jihadis nearly killed their own civilians. Or that they once again were launching mortars into Israel. But let the Israelis retaliate with a much needed beatdown and everyone starts crying and whining about the suffering of the Palestinians. I always get a non-response when I ask those same bleeding heart leftards, “Why is it that Gaza always seems to have a shortage of food and meds, but they seem to never run short of rockets/mortars/etc…?”.
