On Easter Week too!

(Reuters) - Israeli planes and helicopters carried out at least seven missile attacks on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Friday, causing damage and slightly wounding two children, Palestinian witnesses and officials said.
World
They said four air strikes took place in open areas near the central town of Khan Younis, the site of a deadly clash last week between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen.
Two caravans were destroyed there in Friday's attack but there were no casualties, officials said.
A fifth missile hit a cheese factory in Gaza City, setting it on fire, witnesses and Hamas officials said. Hospital officials said two children were injured by flying debris.
Helicopters struck twice in the central refugee camp of Nusseirat, destroying a metal foundry. There were no casualties.
An Israeli military spokesman declined immediate comment.
Late on Thursday, a Palestinian short-range rocket landed in Israel, causing no casualties, the military said. There was no claim of responsibility.
An Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip early last year was designed to counter such salvoes. They have resumed sporadically in recent weeks, provoking Israeli air strikes.

israel is going to have hell to pay when the Palestianians get some armaments that are more advanced than hurled rocks
 
As long as we arent involved, who cares.

because of our unqualified support of things israeli, when the victims curse israel, they invoke our nation's name, too
like it or not, until our middle eastern foreign policy changes, whatever israel does will be perceived to have been committed with the USA's consent
 
Easter is irrelevant. Israel is mainly Jewish and Gaza is 99% Muslim and 1% oppressed.

I support Israel in their endeavor to destroy Hamas, this defensive attack was long overdue. Maybe now Hamas will shut up and admit defeat.

Absolutely agree.

Agreed in reference to war.. And if you think holidays were ever sacred for attack I suggest you read about the World Wars.

Holidays aren't sacred to many. The Arabs attacked Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism when no one works and everyone is supposed to focus on God and nothing else.
 
....why hit a cheese factory?

They'll have to get in line. The rest of the ME has been trying to do that for 60 years.
