Israel reports that rockets are being launched from Gaza into Israel proper about once every ten minutes, but according to Fox News<\/a> reports, the Israelis aren’t sitting back and taking it;<\/p>\n

Military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said Israel struck more than 320 Hamas targets overnight, focusing on underground tunnel networks and rocket launching sites. That brought the total number of targets hit to 750 in three days of the massive offensive, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, remnants of a long-range rocket fired from Gaza landed in a gas station in south Tel Aviv Thursday after being shot down by Israel’s “Iron Dome” defense system. No one has been seriously harmed as the “Iron Dome” defense system has intercepted at least 70 of the projectiles destined for major population centers.<\/p>\n

“This is one of the most critical tests the region has faced in recent years,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told a news conference. “Gaza is on a knife-edge. The deteriorating situation is leading to a downward spiral which could quickly get beyond anyone’s control.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Israel has mobilized 20,000 reservists in anticipation of a ground assault from Hamas. The Atlantic Wire<\/a> notices that there is no international backlash against Israel this time around;<\/p>\n

Ordinarily, this moment would be accompanied by a cascade of international opprobrium from Palestinian supporters, demands for restraint, and perhaps calls from Israel’s own allies to rein in its forces. Yet even as the death toll in Gaza grows from the Israeli campaign \u2014 Israel has reportedly struck 400 targets in Gaza since yesterday morning from the sea and the air \u2014 there has been relative quiet about the battle. Hamas continues to fires its rockets, hundreds of them, deeper into Israeli territory than ever before, but the normally raucous international chorus has barely made a peep so far.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Given the fact that the entire region is in flames, maybe the rest of the world realizes that maybe Israel isn’t the problem. It only took 66 years to come to that conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
