Israeli planes renewed airstrikes in Gaza early on Saturday, and Hamas militants responded by firing rockets into Israel as battle entered the fifth night.

Palestinian medics said at least two people were killed in one of the several airstrikes in northern Gaza. Residents said Israeli naval boats fired shells from the Mediterranean though none may have hit the strip.

Since Monday, at least 128 people have been killed in Gaza, including 31 children and 20 women, and 950 others wounded, Palestinian medical officials said.

Among eight dead on the Israel side were a soldier patrolling the Gaza border and six civilians, including two children, according to Israeli authorities.

The Palestinian religious affairs ministry said Israeli planes destroyed a mosque. A military spokesman said the army was checking the report.

Sirens sounded in two major southern Israeli cities warning of incoming rocket attacks from Gaza. Hamas claimed responsibility for launching rockets.

With no sign of ending of the armed conflicts in sight, casualties spread further afield, with Palestinians reporting 11 killed in the occupied West Bank amid clashes between protesters and Israeli security forces.

It's Hymies' War again.

Hamas has to show its face from time to time through rocket launches, but the cost is prohibitively high because they are no match against the other side in terms of weapons.

Take a look at my other statement on the issue:

"This may not sound realistic or even funny" - both.

USA is partially responsible for never-ending tension, conflict and crisis in thy region for ages.., since USA annually supply as a freebie around $10 billions of arms & ammunition to a handful of nations there ever since Camp David accord in the late 70s.

As long as U.S arms supply flowing annually as a freebie..., it's going to continue what simple small escalation should have been sorted out in manner of fist-fighting, stone throwing, etc with minor loss & damages.

This may or may not sound realistic or even funny.., but it's only my opinion.

HUGE Protests

Organisers said crowds stretched back to Bayswater Road from Kensington High Street and numbered 100,000. Demonstrations were also taking place in Birmingham, Coventry, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh and other UK towns and cities.
- Thirteen arrested in London protest against violence in Gaza

And Poodleville is an ally of the illegitimate state of New Izrael.

Despite the slander of China's alleged abuses in Xinjiang, no one believes the anglo/jew propaganda. No one believes Gal Gadot. No one believes war criminal, Joe Biden, who lied that the illegitimate state of New Izrael has a right to defend itself. As the Palestinians say, the occupation is, in of itself, an aggression.

They also slandered Scott Ritter as a paedophile, slandered Jeremy Corbyn as anti-semitic, accused Julian Assange of "conspiring to hack", accused the Branch Davidians in Waco of being paedophiles. But no one believes them.

Presumably, Fred9 is a Jew who wants to, VERY OBVIOUSLY, shift attention away from izraeli war crimes.

War criminal, Benny Nut & Yahoo has claimed the Illegitimate Defence Force is the World's most moral. Presumably he meant immoral.

Associated Press/Al Jazeera Building Bombed

This is similar to the illegal invasion of Iraq, where the Great Satan demanded that reporters become "embedded"; ie. they were only allowed to see what the Great Satan wanted them to see. Non-embedded reporters were bombed and murdered by the Great Satan and poodle cannon-fodder. They claimed they heard shots coming from the hotel, known to be used by these reporters. But french video footage shows no such sounds.

The world should give top priority to ICERD issues.

Gal Gadot has been lambasted for a disingenuous tweet, expressing her concern for the illegitimate state of New Izrael, but only mentioning the rightful owners of the land in passing as the "neighbours".

This follows a cheesy video of John Lennon's "Imagine", which some described as "cringe-worthy" and also appeared to be contrived.

More convincing was her earlier tweet, "We shall overcome".

The UN, gave Israel a window till Monday to show their superiority in leveling tower 7 style demolitions within Gaza.
