IDF tanks roll towards Gaza. July 2014

The Israeli Defense Forces attacked Hamas positions in Gaza on Saturday night less than an hour after terrorists launched a rocket at southern Israel, and after another long day of balloon bombs flying over the border and into Israeli fields, forests and communities.

IDF tanks opened fire at two Hamas observation posts in response to the ongoing terror attacks against southern Israel.

A rocket attack launched by Gaza terrorists Saturday night headed towards an unpopulated, open area – so the Red Alert incoming rocket warning siren did not activate in any populated areas this time around.

Instead, the alert was triggered in a special designated app intended to activate when the trajectory of the rocket or mortar shell is taking the projectile to a location where it will do no harm.
