Tensions soar as Israel hits Gaza militant bases after mortar fire

Israel carried out strikes against militant bases in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday after a barrage of mortar fire from the Palestinian enclave further boosted tensions following weeks of deadly unrest.

Separately on Tuesday morning, Palestinians launched boats from Gaza to protest Israel's blockade of the strip in what they said would be a peaceful demonstration.

There were conflicting statements about whether the boats would seek to break Israel's blockade, which currently allows them to travel nine nautical miles (16 kilometres) off the coast.

The earlier firing of some 28 mortar shells toward Israel caused no injuries, with most intercepted by air defence systems, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a forceful response.

One mortar shell exploded near a kindergarten building, a military spokesman said, causing damage to the structure.

Hopefully there will be a substantial body count.  That will set the liberals in the "I hate Israel all hail Hamas" party off the rails.

Fortunately, their mortars are garbage and their training is worse, so they're usually ineffective.  I hope we have incidents like this.......

Gaza militants mortars probably do go in a haphazard way but it is reported, they came near a kindergarten. Per original link in post 1:

"One mortar shell exploded near a kindergarten building, a military spokesman said, causing damage to the structure."

Hopefully there will be a substantial body count. 

Body counts coming from Hamas or from any Muslims are meaningless. Since Islam does not care about human life, the actual number of people killed is not important to them. They only care about the political aspects of a 'body count'. Hamas can say the body count is 0, or 100, or 1000, or 10,000. The count is whatever they want it to be. Like American Liberals, 'truth' is whatever they say it is.

Let's be a little less biased:

"Tensions soar after terrorists initiate mortar fire; Israel responds"
