Lieberman Calls for “Reoccupying” Gaza
Picture
Israeli Member of Knesset, head of the Foreign and Security Committee, Avigdor Lieberman, stated Monday [June 24 2013] that Israel should seriously consider “reoccupying and imposing fill Israeli military and security control over the Gaza Strip”.

His statements came during an interview with the Israeli Radio. He said that “should Israel fail to respond for shells fired from Gaza, Hamas will own planes and hundreds of missiles that can strike Tel Aviv and Netanya”.

Lieberman added that Hamas “is not interested in living next to the Jews in Israel”, and added that Tel Aviv needs to “return to the Gaza Strip, and perform a root cleanup”.

He told the Radio that he does not know what Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Defense Minister, Moshe Ya’alon, think about his “proposal”, but added that they should consider it.

Responding to his comments, head of the Meretz Israeli Movement, Member of Knesset, Zahava Gal-On, stated that Lieberman is trying to wage war by his irresponsible behaviors and statements.

Gal-On added that Netanyahu needs to act on easing tension, and to stop “the winds of war blowing in his coalition”.

Lieberman, also leader of Yisrael Beiteinu party, was quoted by the website of the network of Israeli radio on Monday as saying that there was no other option but the occupation of Gaza.

He said that the absence of a strict Israeli response within the coming two years would lead Hamas to acquire hundreds of missiles that could reach Tel Aviv and maybe Netanya.

“Hamas has no intention of recognizing the Jewish presence in Israel and thus Gaza should be reoccupied and cleansed,” Lieberman said.

Israeli warplanes wage attacks on central, southern Gaza Strip

An Israeli air raid on the Gaza Strip in November 2012

Israeli warplanes have launched aerial strikes in central and southern Gaza Strip, but reports of injuries have yet been filed on the attacks.

The attacks against the blockaded Palestinian territory reportedly took place early Monday morning in what the Israeli regime claimed as a response to missiles fired from Gaza.

Press reports out of the densely-populated sliver controlled by Hamas resistance movement indicate that the Israeli warplanes struck three areas in the impoverished Palestinian region.

Palestinian witnesses have reportedly said the air raids struck uninhabited areas and left no injuries.

Tel Aviv officials, meanwhile, have blamed members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement for “at least six rockets” that they claimed were fired from northern Gaza.
The Israeli regime further asserted that the rockets inflicted no damage or injuries.

On Sunday, Israeli news outlets reported that sirens blared in a number of areas in southern Israel and two of the rockets were intercepted by the US-supplied Iron Dome anti-missile system in the Ashkelon area.

Additionally, a spokesman for the Israel’s military forces claimed that Israeli warplanes targeted “rocket-launching sites.”

On May 13, an Israeli incursion was carried into the Palestinian-owned lands in the town of Beit Hanoun in northeastern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli regime has carried out a number of military incursions into Gaza in recent months, including an intrusion into Beit Hanoun in May and three airstrikes in late April on the southern town of Khan Younis and near the town of Rafah.

In November 2012, Israeli military forces launched the so-called Operation Pillar of Defense I against Gaza. Over 160 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed and about 1,200 others were injured across the Palestinian enclave during the eight-day war.

In retaliation, Palestinian resistance fighters fired rockets and missiles into Israeli cities, killing at least five Israelis. The offensive ended after Egypt brokered a truce between Hamas and Tel Aviv.

According to a Hamas spokesman, the eight-day Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip inflicted over USD 1.2 billion worth of damages.

Israeli air raids target several areas in Gaza, no casualties reported


The Israeli occupation regime launched at dawn Monday seven air strikes at least on different targets in the Gaza Strip without any reported causalities. Local sources told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that Israeli warplanes waged aerial attacks on two sites belonging to Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, in Khan Younis and Rafah areas.

The warplanes also bombed cultivated land in Deir Al-Balah area in central Gaza, according to the sources.

Another air raid also targeted a site belonging to division 14 of the Palestinian national security forces.

The Palestinian security forces in Gaza had evacuated their positions following information that the Israeli occupation forces would launch aerial attacks in response to what they claimed about the fall of seven projectiles on the southern Israeli occupied lands.

Gaza Hits Israel with 6 Rockets, IAF Strikes Back
Picture
Israeli media outlets reported that six rockets fired from the Gaza Strip hit south of Israel late Sunday night.

Yediot Ahranot Israeli newspaper said that four rockets hit the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council and Netivot, while another two rockets were launched at the Bnei Shimon Regional Council. Both exploded in open areas and no injuries or damage were reported.

According to same newspaper, the IOF leadership estimates that the Islamic Jihad was behind the rocket fire, as an act of defiance against Hamas.

Tensions between Islamic Jihad and Hamas have been mounting following the recent death of an Islamic Jihad leader at the hands of Hamas' security forces during clashes.

In response to the rocket fire, Israeli aircraft attacked Gaza overnight, and Israel's Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon ordered the closure of the Karam Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) and Erez border crossings between Israel and Gaza.

Another Hate Crime: Tires of 21 Vehicles Slashed in Occupied Jerusalem
Picture
The tires of 21 Palestinian vehicles parked along a road in Beit Hanina neighborhood, east Jerusalem were slashed on Monday by 'Price Tag' groups, who also spray-painted anti Palestinian slogans.

The Israeli Police launched an investigation into the incident.

It's worth mentioning that 'Price tag' refers to the strategy that extremist settlers and their supporters have adopted to attack Palestinians and their properties. According to settlers, 'price tag' is to avenge Palestinian attacks on Jews and for settlement freezes and demolitions. Several price tag attacks in recent months also have targeted Muslim and Christian holy sites.
