These fascist are gonna all drag us into another unjustifiable war. Hypocritically Israel can have hundreds of Nuclear weapons. Why? Another power in the region is unacceptable to everyone else. Now forgive me of I'm wrong but was we not convinced of the MAD doctrine in the 70's & 80's. The saying sauce for the goose springs to mind.

Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza, no injuries

GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- Israeli warplanes launched three airstrikes in north and south Gaza Strip early Tuesday, with no reports of injuries, witnesses and security officials said. 

Israeli F16 fighter jets fired three missiles at fields near al-Shaymaa school in the northern town of Beit Lahiya, two missiles at an open area west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, and one missile at Bani Suheila east of Khan Younis in the early hours. 

Before the air strikes, locals said flare bombs were fired towards the eastern borders of Khan Younis. 

An Israeli army statement said the aircraft were targeting a weapons manufacturing site in the north and three smuggling tunnels in the south. The strikes were "in response to the rockets fired at Israel during the past few days," the statement said.

The airstrikes were the third series of raids in a week. On Saturday, Israeli aircraft fired at a group of Palestinian militants in southern Gaza the army said were launching rockets, without causing injuries, three days after Israeli forces opened fire on the northern Gaza Strip, killing two people and seriously injuring at least two others.

Israeli Police: Extremist Jews Attack Woman

Israeli police say a group of ultra-Orthodox extremists have attacked a woman who was putting up posters in a troubled town near Jerusalem.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says about a dozen ultra-Orthodox men in the town of Beit Shemesh surrounded the woman on Tuesday, pelted her with stones and slashed her car's tires. He says the woman suffered minor injuries.

Rosenfeld says it's not clear why she was targeted. The woman was putting up posters for Israel's national lottery at the time.

Beit Shemesh has experienced sharp tensions between ultra-Orthodox extremists and its remaining secular and modern Orthodox Jewish residents. The recent case of an 8-year-old girl who was afraid to walk to school because extremists spat on her and cursed her attracted international attention.
