For those of you being inundated by social media posts about Israel and #Gaza & are confused, here are the facts:
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis are currently confined to bomb shelters.
Hamas has fired more than 1,200 rockets at Israeli civilians.
This needs to end.
The connecting thread between the cancelled Palestinian elections, terror flags on the Temple Mount, and hundreds of rockets fired at Israeli cities, is Iran-backed Hamas, bent on destabilization & violence.
The voice of the int'l community must be unequivocal: No to terror.
SDEROT: A Hamas rocket, fired from #Gaza, hit a building injuring 7 people, one of them, a 6 year old child, is suffering from severe wounds.
Hamas continues to target civilians, Israel will continue to do all in its power to defend its citizens.
Holding a round of calls with counterparts around the world with a picture of the current situation and to condemn the acts of terrorism, today with the presidents of Germany, Austria and Bulgaria and of the European Council.
The comparison between Israel and Hamas is baseless and immoral. Equating a terrorist aggressor with a friendly democracy under fire is simply unacceptable.
48 hours of Hamas rocket fire from #Gaza.
Israel will defend its citizens from Hamas' murderous terrorism, which targets innocent civilians.
