Three Israelis killed by Gaza rocket as violence escalates

[Gerald]

Violence between Israel and militants in Gaza escalates.

Three people have been killed as rockets fired from Gaza struck southern Israel, amid escalating violence.

They died when a four-storey building in the town of Kiryat Malachi was hit.

It marks the first Israeli fatalities since Israel killed Hamas' military chief in Gaza on Wednesday.

Fifteen Palestinians, mainly militants but also children, have reportedly been killed in the continuing Israeli operation. About 200 rockets have been fired into Israel, the army says.

It says that 145 of them were destroyed by Israel's Iron Dome interceptor system.

Hundreds of rockets were fired into Israel by militants in Gaza, and Israel carried out numerous air strikes as cross-border violence soared in recent weeks.

Palestinian militants have attempted to hit Israel's largest city, Tel Aviv, with missiles fired from Gaza.

Air raid sirens sounded in the city for the first time in two decades and residents took cover.

But there were no casualties from the two rockets, which landed south of the city, in Rishon Lezion, and in the sea.

I don't have a problem with the fact that you side with the victimizer-since-1948, Vendor - everyone's free to do what he likes, after all - but you would be welcome to post just a few pics of the Palestinians too, you know, here and there.

I thought Gaza was one big Ghetto? Thats what the news says. That's the Middle East's version of a Ghetto?
