Islamic
Jihad in Hebrew – ‘Get out of our country’
As
tensions continue to mount in the Gaza Region following a barrage of
more than 100 rockets fired by Islamic Jihad, and the IDF's response,
leaders on both sides of the Israel-Gaza border are bracing
themselves for the potential of a larger-scale Israeli military
operation.
In anticipation, the Iranian-backed terrorist group
released a Hebrew-language video warning the Israeli government
against attacking and calling on Israelis to "get out of our
country" - referring to all of Israel, which Islamic Jihad, like
Gaza's Hamas rulers, seeks to destroy.
The spokesman, dressed in
black, begins by warning "The terrorist Zionist government"
to show "restraint" if it wants his group to stop firing
rockets, and then moves on to address the "cowardly Zionist
army".
Aircraft
of the Israeli Air Force (IAF) attacked seven terror targets in Gaza
on Thursday night, shortly after midnight. In a statement, the IDF
Spokesperson’s Unit said that three targets in northern Gaza and
four targets in southern Gaza were hit.
“The IDF will not tolerate
any attempt to harm Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers and will
continue to act decisively and strongly against anyone who carries
out terror activities against the State of Israel,” said the
statement, which added that any Gaza rocket fire was the
responsibility of the Hamas terror organization which rules the
region.
“The IDF is prepared to defend the citizens of Israel,”
the statement said. The IDF airstrikes came after Gazan terrorists
continued to fire rockets at southern Israel, even after the Islamic
Jihad claimed that an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire would take effect
at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday.
As of Thursday night, at least nine rockets
were fired on Israel's south from Gaza, a continuation of the
escalated rocket barrage, in which roughly 100 rockets have been
fired since Wednesday.
The latest attack was recorded shortly after
11:00 p.m., when a rocket fired by Gaza-based terrorists exploded in
an open area of the Eshkol Regional Council on Thursday evening. Most
of the rockets exploded in open areas, several of them being shot
down by the Iron Dome system which was stationed in Be'er Sheva and
Sderot and which is designed to intercept rockets before they explode
in populated areas.
The rocket barrage has led Intelligence and
Strategy Minister Yuval Steinitz and Foreign Minister Avigdor
Liberman to call for Israel to retake Gaza. "Sooner or later we
will have to take control of Gaza, in order to get rid of the Hamas
regime,” Steinitz said. “We do not need to reoccupy it
permanently, but we do need to remove from Gaza the option of firing
rockets on us."

comments: The only way
there would ever be peace in the mid-east is if Israel did not exist.
But God has promised that Israel will remain FOREVER. So there will
be no peace until Christ Jesus, the Prince of Peace returns, defeats
ALL the enemies of Israel, and sets up His Kingdom in Jerusalem on
Mount Zion for a Thousand Years.
