Mess with Israel and you will die.
(Ynet) — The IDF continued Friday evening to bomb targets in the Gaza Strip in response to unceasing projectile fire by terror groups.
Air Force craft attacked a rocket-launching cell that fired four rockets at Ashkelon, three of which were intercepted by Iron Dome. Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, announced that one of its commanders was killed in the strike along with an additional gunman.
In addition, Palestinian sources reported two killed and 10 injured from IDF tank fire on Sajaiya neighborhood.
The commander killed by the IDF was 27-year old Rayid Shehadeh, Hamas said. The IDF had announced after the strike that it had identified a direct hit.
More than 24 hours after beginning to bomb Gaza heavily, IDF officials said the army has no plans of stopping, and that the intensity of the strikes may be intensified until terror organizations understand the message.
“Our aim is to get a message across to Hamas, to clarify that we will not accept incidents the likes of which occurred yesterday,” one official said, referring to an attack on a school bus that critically wounded a 16-year old boy.
Terrorists continued to slam Israel with projectile fire Friday, and more than 26 mortar shells and rockets were fired throughout the day. But IDF officials say Hamas is unwilling to aim for areas located far from the border, such as Beersheba or Ashdod.
