Israel, as always, responded harshly to the attempted missile attack on its territory, carried out on the eve of the Gaza strip. Yesterday, the press service of the Israeli army (IDF) said that one rocket fired from Gaza were intercepted by the air defense system "Iron dome". Three exploded immediately after launch. The air RAID siren sounded in several towns in southern Israel.
Today the Israeli army retaliated. In a statement, the military says fighter IDF in the night of Friday attacked the underground facility Hamas in the Gaza strip, where the Israeli intelligence housed the center for the development and production of missiles. As a result of defeat of an important object, said Israeli command, the terrorists will be more difficult to produce missiles.
"Islamic resistance movement" (Hamas) — the Palestinian Islamic movement, which actually ruled the Gaza strip since 2007. Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization by Israel, Canada, USA, Japan, European Union, Organization of American States, banned in Jordan and Egypt. In Australia and the UK terrorist recognize only the military wing of Hamas, the brigades of the "Izz ad-DIN al-Qassam brigades". Russia does not consider Hamas to be a terrorist organizations, but does not support his radical methods of policy.
In October 2007, Israel declared Gaza a "hostile state" and started a partial economic blockade, mostly periodically turning off the electricity supply and close the border. Then come to the Hamas government established relations with Egypt, where the main import of goods as well as weapons and ammunition, including smuggled through a network of underground tunnels at the border.
A number of countries have provided humanitarian assistance to Gaza, which is under the control of Hamas, according to some Israeli experts, turned into an "enclave of anarchy and terrorism, threatening the neighboring country". It is possible that if the current Kiev regime will stay in power for some time, the same will be talking about Ukraine, because in this case, you'll be the essence of the current regime there?
