CNN: 600 rockets fired from Gaza, Israel responds with airstrikes
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "massive attacks against terrorist elements" in Gaza will continue after militants in the coastal enclave fired approximately 600 rockets towards Israel.
Speaking at the weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday morning, Netanyahu said: "Hamas bears the responsibility not only for its own attacks and actions but also for the actions of Islamic Jihad, and it is paying a very heavy price for this."
Israel has so far responded with airstrikes on 260 targets across Gaza, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Three Israelis were killed, according to the ZAKA rescue and recovery organization and the Barzilai hospital in Ashkelon. Four Palestinian militants were killed in the airstrikes, according to Gaza health officials, as well as two other Palestinian men.

Israel started it with killing Palestinian protestors.
Instead of making agitprop 'documentaties' about the gulag, China's one child policy, and muslim 'concentration camps' - let's get a few on the ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity being committed against the Palestinians. We can then move onto Yemen.
Creating hell 4 all
On earth
The terrorist organizations in Gaza, both Hamas and Islamic Jihad, are committing a double war crime:
Targeting Israeli civilians while firing rockets from within their own civilian population, which they are using as a human shield.
Flying pipe bombs, hardly tomahawks
Why wouldn't Palestinians target Israel when they are nothing but oppressed. Israel is a piece of shit
