Second Day of Rocket-fire into Israel Continues Amid Jihad Clashes In Jerusalem

The Democrats get in power and suddenly the rockets are firing into Israel. Who gave the OK in the “Biden” admin?

It didn’t take long for Hamas to start poking Israel after President Trump left office. Hamas is firing dozens of rockets into Southern Israel from Gaza. What would you expect your government to do, if your city was being rocketed by a terrorist organization?

Rockets fired from Gaza into Israel as fighting enters second day

One intercepted by Iron Dome, second hits open field, third lands inside Strip; fresh attacks come after 36 rockets fired at Israel overnight Fri-Sat amid ongoing Jerusalem unrest

By TOI, April 24, 2021

Palestinian terrorists launched multiple rockets toward southern Israel on Saturday night, one of which was shot down while another struck an open field, as attacks from the enclave continued into a second day and threatened to intensify.

Several projectiles failed to clear the border and landed inside the Strip.

The first rocket attack came at 9 p.m., triggering sirens in the town of Sderot and nearby communities, sending residents into bomb shelters. Soldiers operating the Iron Dome shot down the incoming projectile, the Israel Defense Forces said.

An 18-year-old woman suffered an acute anxiety attack because of the alarms and was treated at the nearby Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, the hospital said.

The launch of the rocket headed toward Sderot from the area of Jabaliya in northern Gaza was captured by an Israeli security camera.

The second launch occurred an hour and a half later, causing alarms to sound in the community of Kibbutz Nirim, just east of southern Gaza. According to the IDF, the rocket landed in an open field near the security fence, without causing injury or damage.

News outlets in the Strip reported that two additional rockets were launched at the same time, but failed to clear the border and landed within Gazan territory.

An hour later, a mortar shell was launched toward the agricultural fields surrounding the Israeli community of Kibbutz Nahal Oz, but it too failed to clear the fence and landed inside Gaza, according to the IDF.

In addition to these attacks, hundreds of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip held a number of protests along the border in which they burnt tires. IDF troops broke up the demonstrations using less lethal riot control weapons, the military said.

The rocket launches on Saturday were the latest in a series of barrages from the Gaza Strip, beginning late Friday night.

Palestinian terror groups have said that the rocket attacks were responses to ongoing unrest in Jerusalem, where far-right Israeli nationalists have held violent, racist demonstrations and where Arab residents of the capital have attacked a number of Jewish Israelis.
