Challah Hu Akbar
Earlier today, terrorists in Gaza fired two rockets into Israel. On Thursday, one mortar was fired. As of Friday morning, in March, at least 11 rockets had been fired from Gaza into Israel.
In a preemptive strike against terrorists planning a major terrorist attack, the IDF carried out atargeted assassination, which killed Secretary General of the Popular Resistance Committees, Zuhir al-Qaisi, as well as senior Popular Resistance Committees member, Ahmed Hanani, who was reportedly released in the recent Shalit deal. (I have now confirmed that Hanani was not part of the Shalit deal, but was released four years ago.)
The Popular Resistance Committees has said that they will respond to the strike with a “seismic response.” According to PalTimes, several Palestinian factions have announced that they are ending their truce with Israel in response to the attack.
