Israeli radar indicated a rocket was fired into southern Israel Monday night and thus closed the cargo crossings into the Gaza Strip, and of course, Hamas was quick to deny it and blah...blah..blah. Here's some of the details from Breitbart:
And here's my favorite line from the article:
We all know that Hamas cannot be trusted and at the same time, I think the whole world is becoming weary of this constant victim status the terrorist organization continually assumes.
Gaza's Hamas rulers denied a rocket was fired on Monday evening, and accused Israel of looking for excuses to shirk its commitment under the cease-fire agreement to ease its blockade of impoverished Gaza.
"The closing of the border today is unjustified and another indication that the Israeli occupation is maneuvering and trying to dodge the conditions of the calm understanding," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said.
The Israeli military said its radar detected a rocket launched from Gaza that struck near the communal farm of Mefalsim.
And here's my favorite line from the article:
It was not clear how Hamas would know definitively whether a rocket was fired. Several militant factions operate inside GazaHahaha. Nice little jab by the writer of this - and it is spot on. Hamas was so quick to deny this that it's ridiculous. When the first rockets were fired into Israel after the truce was signed, it took Hamas about five days to admit that the rockets were fired (but of course, it was blamed on Islamic Jihad). But this time, there is an immediate denial?
We all know that Hamas cannot be trusted and at the same time, I think the whole world is becoming weary of this constant victim status the terrorist organization continually assumes.
Israel seals Gaza crossings after rocket attack
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel closed its cargo crossings with the Gaza Strip on Tuesday after accusing Palestinian militants of firing a rocket at southern Israel in violation of a shaky truce.
Gaza's Hamas rulers denied a rocket was fired on Monday evening, and accused Israel of looking for excuses to shirk its commitment under the cease-fire agreement to ease its blockade of impoverished Gaza.
"The closing of the border today is unjustified and another indication that the Israeli occupation is maneuvering and trying to dodge the conditions of the calm understanding," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said.
The Israeli military said its radar detected a rocket launched from Gaza that struck near the communal farm of Mefalsim. But it said actual rocket fragments were not located, and local security officials were searching for them Tuesday morning.
It was not clear how Hamas would know definitively whether a rocket was fired. Several militant factions operate inside Gaza.
No injuries or damages were reported Monday, but Israel has taken a zero-tolerance approach to any violation of the cease-fire. Since the truce went into effect on June 19, the crossings have been closed for five days because of rocket and mortar attacks.
None of them has caused serious injuries or damage
