Israel launches heavy airstrikes on Gaza as pressure increases on US to intervene
By John Bowden - 05/16/21 09:18 PM EDT

Israeli forces launched a wave of airstrikes into the Gaza Strip early Monday morning as the country's ongoing conflict with Hamas, which controls the territory, continues.

Photos and videos of the attack showed the dark cityscape illuminated by explosions. The Associated Press reported explosions continued for about 10 minutes and that the attack was heavier, longer and more widespread than previous assaults.

Israeli troops confirmed the attack on Twitter, writing that "terror targets" were being struck by warplanes. Differing reports on social media alleged that roads and other critical pieces of infrastructure were being targeted as well.

No reports of injuries were immediately available.

Maybe the Palestinians should reconsider their tactic of firing rockets into Israel.

Why would Israel want us to intervene, especially with the current administration?

These "terror targets" were called an Intifada.  The last one ran from 2000 --- 2005.

Now they're "terror attacks".  This is what Netanyahu meant by "911 was very good for Israel".

The US needs to stay the @#$% out and let the Israelis do what needs to be done.

LIEden has so packed his MalAdministration with antisemitic Israel-haters that even though Israel provided the proof that Hamas was using the building that housed AP, et al, that LIEden will try to pressure Israel into backing down with their job incomplete.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Just yesterday Dementia Joe just sold 750 Million buck worth of weapons to Israel.

For defense of course.  Wink wink nod nod and Bibi is your uncle!
