Gaza Palestinians Shake Shaky Ceasefire With Anti-Tank Missile, Rockets At Israeli Schools and Hospitals. Again.

Shaky

Eh. What's the occasional anti-tank missile among friends?

Two antitank missiles were fired Friday morning at an IDF force patrolling the area near the border fence in the southern Gaza Strip. There were no reports of injuries. This is the first incident of its kind since the truce in Gaze went into effect about five months ago. At around 6:30 am, a paratroopers' force was dispatched to the border fence opposite Kibbutz Nir Oz, for fear that terrorists had planted an explosive device in the area. When the force arrived in the area, two antitank missiles were fired at the soldiers, without causing any injuries or damage.

While it's true that soldiers haven't been targeted, that's at least partly because the Palestinians have been spending their time shaking the shaky ceasefire by firing at civilians. They launched another rocket at Israeli schools and hospitals just yesterday:

Israel temporarily shut its border crossings with Gaza on Thursday after Palestinian militants fired a Qassam rocket into the western Negev. The rocket struck an open area. The attack, which caused no casualties or property damage, was the latest violation of an Israel-Hamas truce in the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah Palestine, a little-known group, claimed responsibility the attack, which did not cause any casualties or property damage.

"Little known group." I love that trick.
