(Gaza) Overnight the so called people of Gaza living in apparent poverty due to the so called crippling siege enforced upon it, decided to try an cash in on reports of the Israeli Iron Dome anti-missile system not working by launching over 30 missiles into Israel between 10pm and 3 am, resulting in people in the areas opposite Gaza having to send the night in bomb shelters.The so called peaceful Islamic Jihad group announced that
they carried out the attacks on Israel due to the killings yesterday of 5 protesters on the Gaza /Israel border including one who blew himself up with the hand grenade he was carrying,

馃敽30+ rockets were launched from #Gaza to #Israel by Palestinian Islamic Jihad with Iran's encouragement.
馃敽The Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted over 10 projectile launches.
馃敽In response, the IDF targeted over 80 terror targets in the Gaza Strip. pic.twitter.com/3fBi2xUnD1
data-lang="en">As is always the case with Islamic terrorists happy to target the sick lame and lazy for the cause, but once they find they have bitten off more than they can chew, Islamic Jihad quickly called for a ceasefire citing that they would only do so, if the Israelis do so as well. The irony been is that this latest bunfight was of their own making.
2. We also struck this Islamic Jihad weapons manufacturing facility - they use their weapons to try to kill innocent Israeli civilians, we use our weapons to destroy their weapons. pic.twitter.com/bKqyBsaZwf— Israel Defense Forces (@IDFSpokesperson) October 27, 2018
Interestingly ,this attack came days after reports surfaced that the Israeli anti-missile system (Iron Dome) was failing to hit incoming fire, unfortunately for the poverty pleading terrorists of Gaza who have no problem lobbing hundreds of thousands dollars worth of explosive ordnance into Israel, Iron dome worked as intended last night.

so it does have me asking the question was this just a precursor to a much bigger attack if they succeeded in killing jews. That may explain the heavy handed response from Israel sending the message back to Gaza that they will lose out big if they continue to act as Iranian proxies whom the IDF see as being behind this and the recent increase of missile fire from Gaza.
