Hamas Pays the Price For Rocket Launch Into Israel, Israeli Airstrike Kills Hamas "Policeman" in Gaza

It's not entirely clear WHO launched the rocket this morning into southern Israel but Hamas paid the price when a responding Israeli air strike in retaliation hit a Hamas terror coordination building and killed who is being called a "naval policeman."

This is one of the quicker responses by Israel and if you are in Hamas, you better heed the warning. It's pretty obvious right now that the Israelis are not in a good mood and the Israelis seem to be intent on holding Hamas responsible for ANY rockets fired into Israel - whether Hamas launches them or not.

I love it.

Gaza policeman killed, seven hurt in Israel airstrike


GAZA CITY: Palestinian officials say a Hamas naval policeman has been killed and seven others have been wounded in an Israeli airstrike on their building in the northern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military says its aircraft struck an unspecified ”terror activity site” early Monday after Palestinian militants in Hamas-run Gaza fired a rocket at southern Israel. No one was hurt in that rocket attack Sunday evening.

The casualties were confirmed by Gaza health official Adnan Abu Salmia.

The mayor of Beit Lahiya, Izzedine Dahnoun, said an electricity transformer supplying northern Gaza from Israel was damaged by the blast, knocking out power to some 100,000 people.

Hamas officials say all their personnel were instructed to evacuate their buildings to avoid another airstrike.
