GAZA-ISRAEL OVERNIGHT ESCALATION: 150 ROCKETS, 100 STRIKES
Since midnight Wednesday, 80 rockets fired at southern Israel
brings total rockets fired by Hamas to over 150
25 rockets intercepted by Iron Dome (17% success rate only).
Several rockets landed in open territory, causing no harm
direct hits in homes in Sderot and Hof Ashkelon. 17 Israelis injured
IDF carried out over 100 strikes targeting Hamas
3 Palestinians dead
including 30 yr old Ali Ghandour
son of Hamas commander Abu Anas Ghandour
Rockets continually fired from Gaza throughout night
most recent 5:45am Thursday morning
My comments : I think this huge escalation is a deliberate provocation to derail that Hamas - Israel peace accord. Fatah / PLO and even other factions from within Hamas are against any accord with Israel.
There is a huge smuggling business going on in Gaza (under the protection of Hamas) which will go bust if there is a peace accord between Hamas and Israel. (Yes folks, its as simple as that.)
Lets see how the Israelis handle this. They have already retaliated. 3 Palestinians are dead from over 100 strikes. The Israelis suffered 17 injured.
Not good for peace nights in Gaza.
Cui bono? Who benefits.
