Gaza rockets a signal from Hamas
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe rockets fired from Gaza this morning are a signal from Hamas that “nothing will happen without us,” Haaretz military analyst Amos Harel writes.
He says the last four months of quiet, since the end of the last round of fighting between Israel and Hamas, prove the Islamist group is fully capable not only of halting its own rocket fire but also of reining in Gaza’s other armed organizations.
The timing of this morning’s attack was “not coincidental,” and was aimed at reminding onlookers during the Obama visit that Hamas needs to be taken into account, Harel writes.
The rockets caused light damage and no injuries.
