Meanwhile, just now in Israel

The Israeli army attacked Thursday overnight targets in Gaza Strip, hours after two rockets were fired at Tel Aviv from Gaza, a first since Israel's 2014 campaign in Gaza. According to the Israeli military, the Iron Dome missile defense system was activated. It is assumed that the rockets landed in open areas due to the fact that no damage or injuries were reported as of yet.

The last time rocket alerts were activated in Tel Aviv was two years ago, in what turned out to be a false alarm. The flare-up comes three weeks before Israel holds its general election.

The Israeli military said it was "attacking terror targets in Gaza," without providing further details.

Meanwhile, rocket alarm sounded in Israeli communities near the Gaza border, but the Israel Defense Forces said the launch that triggered it failed and a rocket landed in Gaza.

An Egyptian security delegation departed Gaza at Israel's request following the rocket fire. Gaza media outlets reported that Hamas had begun evacuating military posts.

Several hours after the rocket fire, the Israeli army said it was conducted by Hamas, but the organization has denied any involvement with the escalation, as did Islamic Jihad.

A Palestinian source in Gaza told Haaretz that the rockets were fired from the northern part of the enclave, but that it was unclear which group initiated the fire. Hamas said it is looking into the shooting, vowing to "take measures against those responsible."

Representatives of the United Nations and Egypt are "currently in contact with all concerned parties, including Israel, to prevent the situation from spinning out of control," sources said.

Former army chief and leader of Kahol Lavan party Benny Gantz called the fire "severe" and argued Israel must respond with "significant and harsh" means in order to "renew its deterrence." He said:

Because that has worked so well for the past twenty + years.

The incident follows weeks of tensions, with the most recent exchange taking place Saturday night when a projectile was launched at Israel. In response, the Israeli army carried out several airstrikes in the Strip, targeting several Hamas posts.

I rest my case.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
