Rockets Rain Down On Tel Aviv As Hamas Breaks Ceasefire
Hours after rockets shattered the cease-fire and hit Gaza frontier communities, three loud explosions were heard over Tel Aviv, shortly before 11 p.m., for the first time in over a week. In total, the IDF said that 50 rockets were fired at Israel since 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday until around midnight. Six rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome rocket defense system.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday rejected Palestinian charges that Israel was to blame for a breakdown in ceasefire talks in Cairo, saying rocket fire from Gaza “made continuation of talks impossible.”

Spokesman Mark Regev responded to Palestinian negotiator Azzam al-Ahmad’s charge that Israel had thwarted the talks that broke down on Tuesday after Israel recalled its negotiators from Egypt, accusing Hamas of violating a truce.
“The Cairo process was built on a total and complete cessation of all hostilities and so when rockets were fired from Gaza, not only was it a clear violation of the ceasefire but it also destroyed the premise upon which the talks were based,” Regev said. Hamas claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks. It also said it launched a J-80 rocket at the Ben Gurion Airport, though there were no reported strikes near the airport. Rocket alert sirens were heard in Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, Beersheba, Ashdod, Ashkelon, and in other communities.
The IDF confirmed that a rocket fell in an open area of Jerusalem
One explosion in open territory in the greater Tel Aviv area was so far confirmed. Two rockets exploded in open areas of Sha’ar HaNegev. A rocket directed at the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council shortly before the latest salvo of rockets landed near a shopping center in the area. No injuries were reported but damage was caused to a building.
Across the border, in Gaza, Palestinians reported a mounting number of injuries, following resumed air strikes on the Strip. Palestinian medical sources said three people were killed, including a three-year-old child, and 16 wounded, when an Israeli air strike hit a home in the Sheik Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City.
The officials said ten other Palestinians were injured near a mosque in the same neighborhood. The IDF confirmed that Israel launched at least 30 air attacks over the past few hours.
The Home Front Command has instructed all cities within 80 kilometers of the Gaza Strip to open public bomb shelters.

The picture is of bombs being dropped by Isreal and if Hamas home made fireworks were doing any damage then it would be all over the news.
These so called rockets are so bad that the IDF has to fire false flag rockets into the streets to keep up the war effort.
Where are all the pictures of Iron Dome intercpting rockets or is it just one lie after another
Hamas is beating the Zionists by bankrupting them over the highly expensive iron dome missiles!
We used to have rain in west Texas like that, miles apart between rain drops.
The only people that called it rain were promoters.
Pery Broad wrote a thin book on what his SS did and said at Auschwitz.
If you read what the Israelis write among themselves, it is the same thing.
Tyranny breeds tyranny.
Read about Yagoda, Stalin’s executioner.
Nothing changes except the victims.
