Gaza-Based Rocket Attacks Presage Plot to 'Burn Tel Aviv'



What the moral-equivalency-obsessed media are overlooking regarding the Gaza-based rocket attacks on Israel, including the rocket that reached the outskirts of Tel Aviv: non-Arab Iran's Islamist Palestinian Arab proxies are sending a  message--a deadly demonstration of what Israel would face on a much larger scale should the Jewish State and/or the United States decide to attack Iran's menacing nuclear and missile installations.

Not for nothing have Iran and Hitlerian Hezbollah amassed arsenals of ballistic missiles, repeatedly vowed to "burn Tel Aviv," etc.

Not for nothing have Iran and North Korea developed and test-fired cargo ship-based ballistic missile firing systems.

Not for nothing have Iran's SS-like Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commanders threatened to engage the U.S. from the Gulf of Mexico.

Adolf Hitler dreamed of destroying New York City with missile strikes.

Saddam Hussein proved that an enemy of Israel could rain rockets down on it--and get away with the war crime.

Clerical fascist Iran's atomic ayatollah and maniac-in-chief are preparing their missiles, developing their warheads with two targets in mind: Israel and America.

There is no diplomatic solution to this problem. The way to peace in the Middle East runs through Tehran--the monstrous mullahocracy must go. End it before it ends us.



Gaza Rocket Hits Tel Aviv Outskirts

Bubble Breaks: Commercial, Cultural Capital

of Modern Jewish State Vulnerable to Attack



JERUSALEM (JTA) -- A rocket fired from Gaza struck the metropolitan Tel Aviv area.

The rocket fell in Holon on the southern outskirts of Tel Aviv, according to reports, after warning sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Bnei Brak on Thursday evening.  It was the first time since the Gulf War in 1990 that a warning siren was sounded in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, according to reports.

There was no damage or injuries, Ynet reported. Islamic Jihad reportedly took responsibility for the attack, which came two hours after two rockets struck Rishon Lezion, located about 10 miles south of Tel Aviv.

More than 140 rockets fired from Gaza have struck southern Israel since the assassination of Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari on Wednesday evening.

11/15/12 - TEL AVIV — Two rockets launched from the Gaza Strip today landed in Rishon Letzion, some 7 miles south of Tel Aviv.
No causalties were reported in those rocket attacks, by far the farthest strikes by Hamas in two days of fighting. Rishon Letzion is considered a sister city to Tel Aviv.
Earlier today, three Israelis were killed by a direct rocket hit on their family home in the Gaza border town of Kiryat Malakhi. A four year old Israeli boy and an infant were moderately wounded in separate rocket attacks.
More than 200 rockets have been fired from Gaza since Israel yesterday started what it calls Operation Pillar of Defense targeting the terrorist infrastrucure in Gaza.
In Rishon Letzion today, a siren went off alerting residents there of possible incoming projectiles after the Israeli Defense Forces detected that one or two long range rockets had been fired from Gaza.
Palestinian media is reporting Hamas's so-called military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Bridgades, is claiming responsiblity for the Rishon Letzion rocketing.
The rocketing of Rishon Letzion comes less than 24 hours after KleinOnline quoted senior Hamas members saying the Islamist group was debating sending rockets to that city. The Hamas leadership in Gaza has also been studying the possibility of assassinating Israeli figures or launching suicide bombings inside Israel, those senior Hamas members said yesterday.
