Palestinian militants fire rockets after Israel strikes Gaza

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) Palestinian militants fired dozens of rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel on Wednesday, in a first response to ongoing Israeli airstrikes that have killed 19 Palestinians, including three senior militants and at least 10 civilians.
The rocket fire set off air-raid sirens throughout southern Israel and as far away as Tel Aviv, on the Mediterranean Sea, 80 kilometers (50 miles) away. Residents had been bracing for an attack since Israel carried out its first airstrikes early Tuesday.
It was the heaviest fighting between the sides in months, pushing the region closer toward a full-blown war. But in signs that both sides were trying to show restraint, Israel avoided attacks on the ruling Hamas militant group, targeting only the smaller Islamic Jihad faction. Hamas, meanwhile, appears to be remaining on the sidelines.
Israel and Hamas have fought four wars since the Islamic militant group took control of Gaza in 2007.

Correction : Some Palestinians throw parties just as some Israelis do .
You seem to think that we have the moral high-ground .
We dont .

(17,345 posts)Israelis are supporting the defense of their country, Palestinians are supporting attacks against civilians and the ongoing attempts to destroy Israel.
Israel most certainly has the "moral high ground".
