Hamas expands rocket fire to Tel Aviv region.
12 May 2021
Three Israelis killed Tuesday • Over 800 rockets fired at Israel since Monday • Bus struck by a rocket in Holon, south of Tel Aviv
A woman was killed and another person was critically wounded in Rishon Lezion after terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired a barrage of rockets in the direction of Tel Aviv late Tuesday night setting off sirens throughout the centre of the country.
After a heavy round of rockets was fired towards central and southern Israel, including Tel Aviv and Beersheba early Wednesday morning, a building was hit as a result of the launches. The IDF continued its attacks on various important terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip as rockets continued to hurl towards Israeli cities, an IDF Spokesperson announced.
The Iron Dome was activated early Wednesday morning in the city of Dimona, where there a secret nuclear reactor, diverting a rocket sent to the city. As a result, school has been cancelled for Wednesday.
The Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility on Wednesday morning for over 100 rockets fired at Tel Aviv, and 100 rockets fired at Beersheba.
Holon next door to Tel Aviv and Rishon Lezion to the south took direct hits Tuesday night, May 11, when Hamas and Islamic Jihad launched dozens of rockets towards central Israel. There were also casualties in Holon. Givatayim was hit next. Ben Gurion international airport has been closed to incoming and outgoing flights, but reopened a short time ago.
Dozens of rockets launched from the Gaza Strip triggered alerts in Tel Aviv East and the outlying towns of Raanana, Bat Yam, Ramat Gan. Kfar Saba, Bnei Brak, Herzliya, Petach Tikva and Ramat Hasharon. Ashdod took its second rocket assault of the day.
IDF air strikes on underground rocket silos and a high-rise building housing Hamas and Jihad senior activists in Gaza City did not deter the Palestinian terrorists from m carrying on with their blitz and escalating it to Israel’s central regions.
Police counted 60 scenes of Arab riots and clashes with officers and Jewish neighbours during the day.
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the intensity and rate of attacks will increase following a visit to the IDF's Southern Command headquarters ... 'We are in the midst of a campaign', he said. 'Since yesterday, the IDF has been attacking hundreds of Hamas and Islamic Jihad sites in Gaza. We have neutralized commanders, we have hit many of their quality targets. Hamas will be struck in ways that it did not expect'."
Some notable Islamic Jihad commanders were killed.
* "The IDF also eliminated the head of the Hamas anti-tank missile unit Tuesday evening in an airstrike."
* "Hassan Abu al-Atta, deputy commander of Islamic Jihad's Gaza Brigade, [pictured above] was also killed when the IDF struck an apartment..."
* "Samah Abed al-Mamlouk. The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) said that he was attacked in a hideout."
FIRE on Temple Mount.
Arab violence continued through Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day) and culminated on Monday night in what can only be described as a pitched battle on the Temple Mount. At one point, fireworks thrown by Arabs ignited a large tree standing adjacent to the Aqsa Mosque, presenting the answer to Jewish prayers based on a prophecy by Zechariah [2;9] that the Temple which was destroyed by fire will be rebuilt in fire.
The IDF mobilizes 5,000 reservists, suspends large-scale war game.
May 11, 2021
The chief of staff on Tuesday ordered the mobilization of 5,000 reservists to augment the Gaza Division. Deployed for the first time in combat conditions were special IDF measures against armed drones and gliders that Hamas is known to have added to its arsenal.
Ashdod hit for the first time with massive rocket salvo.

A 30-rocket salvo hit the important port town of Ashdod, 40km from the Gaza Strip, at midday Tuesday, as well as repeat strikes against Ashkelon. Both house major industries. Populations were told to take shelter without delay but light casualties werereported in 9 direct hits to residential buildings.
Heavy artillery deployed around Gaza borders.
May 11, 2021 .
The IDF reports that Howitzer 155-mm artillery were deployed early Tuesday morning on the borders of the Gaza Strip as the Palestinian rocket barrage against Israel continued.

Mixed Israeli city of Lod sees violent Arab rampage.
May 11, 2021
The Arab rampage in the central Israel town of Lod was the worst outbreak of inter-community violence to sweep Israel’s mixed cities on Monday night.
Masked Arabs burned down the Lod synagogue, firebombed the school, attacked hospital staff and city hall, overturned rubbish bins and pelted Jewish passers-by with rocks.
In the course of an Arab mob clash with Jewish neighbours, an Arab man was shot dead. The mob [Joe Biden’s “peace partners”?] had hoisted Palestinian and Hamas flags. Police detained a suspect when they finally arrived on the scene of wreckage after ignoring repeated appeals by citizens for help.
The demonstrations in favour of Hamas should also sound alarm bells with the Biden administration and serve as an accurate indicator as to Palestinian priorities.
The Biden administration is talking about reviving the stalled peace process between Israel and the Arab Palestinians on the basis of the "two-state solution." A perfect definition of senile dementia?
Hamas and the thousands of Arab Palestinians who chanted slogans in support of Hamas and Deif, however, have a different solution in mind: the annihilation of Israel and the deaths of Jews -- the more the merrier.
Biden and Harris are enemies of the Jews.
A leading voice in Communist China has advised Beijing to bomb Australia and bring “disaster” should Canberra support US military action.
12 May 2021
The editor of a Chinese newspaper considered to be a mouthpiece of the Communist dictatorship has said Beijing should consider “long range strikes” directed at Australia.
Editor-in-chief of the stridently pro-Communist Global Times newspaper, Hu Xijin, made the extraordinary comments in an editorial advising Beijing how it should react should Australia join the US in protecting democratic Taiwan from invasion.
“Australia must know what disasters it would cause to their country,” he said in the tub-thumping piece published late on Friday.
Beijing has long insisted Taiwan must unite with the People’s Republic, either by choice or force. It has become a rallying cry for Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
That’s despite Taiwan never having been under communist rule. The island was where the then-Chinese government fled to in 1949 when the Communists took control on the mainland.
It is now a democratic nation with many inhabitants seeing themselves as Taiwanese rather than Chinese.
The US is not obligated to defend Taiwan, although its policy of “strategic ambiguity” over Taiwan means it reserves the right to do so. If the US did intervene, it’s highly likely Australia would be called on to help in some way.
Does Uncle Joe have the ticker for it though?? Could he find Taiwan on a map? It’s doubtful?
