Make the strikes a daily occurrence.

Israel’s Defense Forces announced Saturday night that it attacked a Hamas outpost in the southern Gaza Strip following rocket fire towards Israel on Friday. A statement by the IDF’s Spokesperson’s Office says it “proved once again that Iran, through rogue and extremist terrorist organizations, is acting to bring about a deterioration in the regional situation…”
“Iran is playing with the lives of Gaza residents and is likely to lead an escalation after years of security and calm. Hamas has full responsibility for the situation and its implications,” the statement added.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, who was speaking to Channel 2 News on Saturday night, said the mortars that were fired at Israel on Friday came from Iran and had been supplied to various groups in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
One of the projectiles struck a building in the Sha’ar Hanegev region, causing damage but no injuries. The Iron Dome missile-defense system intercepted the two others. The attack came during a ceremony there for missing soldier St.-Sgt. Oron Shaul.
Gazan terrorists have fired more than two dozen projectiles at southern Israel since US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on December 6. Several have been intercepted, including one over Ashkelon, some 20 km. from the Gaza Strip, and a number have slammed into Israeli territory.
A senior IDF intelligence officer was quoted by Channel 10 as saying the Friday mortar fire that activated the Color Red warning siren around 11:49 a.m. was likely deliberately timed to coincide with the ceremony at Kibbutz Kfar Aza, about 5 km. east of the Strip, marking Shaul’s 24th birthday.
