Rocket hits synagogue in Netivot; IAF bombs Gaza tunnels

[oberliner]

Palestinian militants on Thursday evening fired a Grad rocket that struck a synagogue in the southern town of Netivot, causing light damage to the building. The Israel Air Force retaliated shortly after the attack, striking four smuggling tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip, the army said.

No one was wounded in the rocket attack on Netivot.

Earlier Thursday, an Israel Air Force strike on the Gaza Strip killed three members of the militant Islamic Jihad, according to medical sources

In a statement issued after the strike on the tunnels, the Israel Defense Forces said: "As the sole authority in the Gaza Strip, Hamas bears full responsibility for all terror originating within its area of control. The IDF will continue to respond to any attempts to destabilize Israel's South."

1. Horribel, glad no one was hurt

But they (Israel and Palestine) need to stop attacking holy places.

2. I really do not get this, the supposed rockets from Gaza/Hamas to Israel

These rockets from Gaza rarely kill anyone

If it Hamas doing this, why do they bother?

What is their motive?

I don't get it
