Melech 9,900 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 No injuries and no damage reported. And you should stop with superior attitude and condescending remarks. You are in no position to grant them (or anyone) freedom.But on other hand, you just admit that they live in open air prison.Whoops meant an own state with that.

Melech 9,900 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 At least one rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip toward southern Israel on Tuesday evening the army confirmed after sirens went off and residents reported hearing loud explosions.Sirens were sounded at around 9 P.M. in the Lachish Regional Council, not far from Gaza. The army said that at least one projectile was fired from Gaza and exploded in an open area near Gan Yavne. This is located near the port city of Ashdod some 20 kilometers north of the Gaza Strip. The army added that it idenifitied a shooting position.No damage was reported, but medical services said a 15-year-old girl from Ashdod arrived at the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon suffering from shock.Israeli security officials said they believe that the rocket fire was carried out by the military wing of Islamic Jihad, apparently following an internal dispute within its ranks over the appointment of a new military wing commander in north Gaza. One of the camps decided to fire the rocket to escalate the internal conflict, according to Israel's security establishment. With this in mind, Israel's response is likely to be limited. Israel will likely blame Hamas for the fire, but probably doesn't intend to escalate the situation.No group in Gaza has claimed responsibility for the rocket fire so far, however. Sources in Gaza told Haaretz that Hamas, anticipating an Israeli response, was evacuating military posts.On Tuesday evening, residents of the Lachish region reported hearing explosions seconds after hearing the sirens. Reuven, a resident of Gan Yavne said: “The family was sitting at home and we were watching the news, suddenly the siren started and we didn’t understand where it was coming from… while we were running to the protected room we heard a really strong explosion.”The Home Front Command reissued instructions to the public following the rocket fire, highlighting the importance of finding a protected area and remaining there for ten minutes after the alarm sounds.In Ashdod, schools were set to operate as normal on Wednesday, aside from institutions that don't have safe rooms. One month ago, on Israel's Independence Day, a rocket exploded in an open field near the Gaza Strip, following four months of quiet. The Israel Defense Forces responded with tank fire. No damage or injury was reported on both sides.At the time, Hamas officials refused to confirm a rocket was fired at Israel, referring to it in reports as an Israeli claim. Estimates were that the rocket fire reflected a power struggle between Hamas and other factions in Gaza.Israel and Palestinian militant groups fought a 50-day war in July and August, the longest round of violence between the sides to date. Thousands of rockets were launched at Israel during the conflict, with only few attacks occurring after since the ceasefire an open-ended ceasefire took hold.http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/1.658196 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamas has imposed a "solidarity tax" and salaries for workers not aligned with the Palestinian Authority are not being paid in full" This helps the Palestinians. ?"Reconciliation efforts between Hamas and the Western-backed Palestinian Authority led by President Mahmoud Abbas have faltered, adding to hardships and hampering foreign aid donations and the import of building materials."Even neutral countries don't wanna give terrorists more money and supplies. The PA is seems to be legit tho. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still. My words give a clue,look inside to see whats true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolev 867 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Not alike enough? Does one have to be similar to anyone else to be civil and live in peace with those different from them? Where I am from: Muslims, Jews, Christians, atheists, and many other groups, faiths, or ethnics live very different lifestyles, look and live differently in many ways, yet coexist. Not exactly utopia, peace on Earth, or euphoric dream, but if given the right settings and governing supervision (though I am not a fan of controlling authorities) people can survive and even thrive in a mutual state. However, if the two state solution is the only way for people to live in peace there, then have at it. Honey this is the Middle East, you just can't compare it with anywhere else. It's a hell on earth. Both sides believes that they have the right to own the land and have been fighting each other for more then a century for control over Israel\Palestine. Also, Muslims are having hard time integrating themselves into western societies. Suddenly having them as 50% of the population will cause a huge clash and might even cause a much bloodier conflict Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz 4,253 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Israel asking U.S. for 50% increase in next defense assistance package WASHINGTON (JTA) — Israel reportedly wants the U.S. to increase its annual defense assistance package by half, to an average $4.5 billion.Defense News reported this weekend that Israel and U.S. officials have in recent months begun negotiations on the next 10-year aid package.The previous package, negotiated by the George W. Bush and Ehud Olmert governments in 2007, averaged $3 billion of assistance each year, for a total of $30 billion, from 2007-2017.The government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants that to increase to $42-45 billion over the 2018-2028 period, Defense News reported, adding that President Barack Obama during his March 2013 visit to Israel “endorsed in principle” that range.Defense News quotes “U.S. and Israeli experts” as saying that the amount would be separate from any package the United States offered Israel as compensation for the Iran nuclear deal now being negotiated between Iran and the major powers.Like the defense assistance package currently in place, it is also separate from the $1.2 billion in materiel the United States stores in Israel and which under certain conditions is available for Israeli use, and from the approximately $500 million in U.S. funds provided to Israeli anti-missile development each year.http://www.jta.org/2015/05/26/news-opinion/united-states/israel-asking-u-s-for-50-increase-in-next-10-year-defense-assistance-package#.VWSoFqJeR6Y.twitter I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.
