Imagine if the closest town to you was on fire due to terrorists shooting rockets at you.
The nightly news would consist of nothing but the situation you faced. And rightly so.
In Southern Israel, at least 40 rockets have struck ground from Gaza since January, and a massive factory blaze was just put out this evening by Israeli fire fighters.
Four workers who were in the factory at the time it was struck by the rocket managed to rescue themselves, escaping from the blazing building, reports Walla!. The four were reportedly unharmed, and police continue to search if anyone remains trapped inside.
One man in his fifties suffered mild injuries including wounds to his limbs, apparently from the blast of the rocket and ensuing explosions in the factory. The injured man was able to get to a Magen David Adom (MDA) station in the city on his own, and then was evacuated to the Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon by paramedics.
Have you heard of this? Can you imagine living in this situation? Do you angrily blame Jews for what you perceive to be 'human rights abuses' while completely ignoring attacks such as this?
The Iron Dome anti-missile defense system on Friday evening intercepted two rockets from Gaza towards the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council in southern Israel, just hours after a barrage of three rockets exploded in the Eshkol Regional Council, and a mortar shell was fired from Gaza as well.
Ahead of the rockets, the IAF conducted an airstrike, targeting a car in Gaza and killing two terrorists. The two terrorists were identified by the IDF as Osama Hasoumi and Mohammed Fasiah, who were liquidated over being involved in the recent rocket escalation.
That IAF strike followed attacks emanating from Gaza on Friday morning, when a bomb exploded near troops manning Israel's security fence. The blast went off as an IDF patrol passed through the area, in what apparently was a targeted attack.
Israel will continue to defend herself, by any means necessary. Terrorists be damned...
