Terrorism

"We are prepared for any scenario and our enemies would do well to understand this - now."

"They misunderstand us, and this could lead to a deterioration, at the end of which we would be back inside the Gaza Strip and they would realize they had made a mistake."

There were no casualties. In one of the settlements there were damaged buildings and vehicles.

Hamas attempted to justify its rocket attacks based on the IDF retaliation for Gaza's ongoing arson terror attacks.

The Code Red incoming rocket siren was triggered overnight repeatedlyTuesday after midnight.

Arab media reported the Izz a-Din al-Qassam military wing of Hamas claimed responsibility for Tuesday night's rocket fire at Israel.

This is not the first time that terrorist elements have attacked Israeli fighters using explosive devices.

Court: "What [the terrorist] did, though severe, is not unusual or extreme."

"It is inconceivable that 150 people will sit for a full day to think about solutions and not come up with an idea that will help stop the burning of our fields."

Firefighting crews once again spent most of the day working the various fire sites.

According to Ma'an, the five "youths" approached the border fence to demonstrate, but the Israeli army opened fire on them.

"The coalition has been targeting the military positions in a desperate attempt to raise the collapsed morale of the terrorist organizations due to the achievements of the Syrian army," SANA explained.

Two rockets landed within Israeli territory. A third rocket didn't clear the border and landed within Gaza territory, according to the IDF.

Three fires raged in the Kissufim Forest in the northwestern Negev; one erupted on the Gaza border.

Red Alert rocket sirens yanked Israeli families out of their beds at 4:40 am and again at around 5:15 am.

One has to consider whether any energy project for Gaza makes sense, given the proclivity of the enclave's ruling Hamas terrorist organization for destroying infrastructure intended to improve residents' lives.

The kibbutz is located very close to the Gaza border with the central Gaza community of Khan Younis, and relies a great deal on turkey and dairy farming.

Bin Laden himself admitted that Iran played a major role in the organization's movement throughout the Middle East.

Damage to Israeli agriculture is estimated at approximately $1.4 million so far, not including damage to forestland and the ecology.

Shuva Malka is all smiles after she was moved out of the ICU, after being stabbed 9 times by a terrorist.

"We don't yet know if this is a terrorist act, but in any case it was terrifying."

“We are preparing a new plan to support Gaza-vicinity communities, similar to that which was implemented after operation Protective Edge.”

The terrorist network planned a bombing in Tel Aviv, attacks in Jerusalem, a bombing in the Itamar settlement and shooting attacks in the Samaria region.

Shuva was on her way to her high school Bagrut (matriculation) exams when she was attacked by an Arab terrorist from Jenin.

Last July, Khalil Abu Arram broke into the home of a Jewish family in Neve Tzuf-Halamish in Samaria and stabbed three family members to death while they were having Shabbat dinner.

This warning attack does not represent a change in the IDF's rules of engagement, since no decision has yet been made so far to personally harm the kite and balloon launchers.

Police remind civilians to call the police if they come across an unknown kite or balloon.

The Hamas attack would coincide with Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan.

"The leadership is still waiting for Hamas to respond if it wants to implement the understandings that were signed or not, that is, either to assume full responsibility as a de facto authority or to hand over everything in Gaza," al-Ahmad said.

Just before the kite had taken to the air, an IAF aircraft fired a warning shot at the squad and thwarted the attempt. The terrorists fled, leaving their kite behind.
