"Rocket attack leads to border closing
JERUSALEM - Israel said it would shut its border crossings with the Gaza Strip today in response to a rocket attack that further strained a cease-fire between the Jewish state and Gaza militants. The rocket fired from the Gaza Strip yesterday struck near the center of Sderot, a town in southern Israel often targeted by militants, causing no injuries, Israeli police said (Reuters)."
Well, then we know whom is responsible, don't we?
CUI BONO, readers?
Of course, a brief is all you'll get from the Zionist-controlled BG.
Let's probe deeper, shall we?
"Israel to close Gaza crossings after rocket attack
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - No Palestinian group claimed responsibility for firing the rocket.
Already smelling a stink!

Meanwhile, WHAT TIMING, huh?
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A severe cash shortage gripped the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip on Monday as tens of thousands of people were unable to withdraw money from banks in the poverty-stricken Palestinian territory.
Israel promised to transfer more money to Gaza on Tuesday.
Well, NOT NOW, huh? And CUI BONO from that "rocket attack," huh?
Wheeeew, whadda STINK!!!!!!
The delicate truce suffered a setback Monday when unidentified Gaza militants fired a rocket into Israel, hitting an open area in the town of Sderot but causing no casualties, Israeli police said. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak ordered crossings into Gaza closed Tuesday in response to the attack, for which no armed group immediately claimed responsibility.
Bank tellers turned people away Monday, and many automatic teller machines were not working. Israel said it would send $20 million worth of shekels to Gaza from Palestinian funds it holds from collecting taxes.
That is just too much of a BIBLICAL REFERENCE for me, as well as being ANOTHER ASPECT of Israel's WAR CRIMINAL OCCUPATION that is RARELY COMMENTED ON in the Zionist AmeriKan MSM!!!!
Case closed on those worthless fucks!!!!
Gaza has suffered chronic cash shortages since the Hamas takeover, but residents said they had never before been told money had run out altogether. "In the past, if there was a crisis, the bank would let me withdraw a limited amount, but this is the first time I've been told there is no money," Bassam said.

"Israeli Tanks, Helicopters Move Into Gaza City
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli tanks and soldiers battled Palestinian militants in the streets of Gaza City before dawn Wednesday in violence that left 11 Palestinians dead, including a suicide bomber who tried to blow up a tank, Palestinians said.
The Israeli forces said they were targeting Palestinian metal workshops that manufacture mortars and rockets. However, Israeli troops also destroyed several homes and damaged a school.
AS USUAL!!!
Twenty-five Palestinians were wounded, and electricity was cut to much of Gaza City, the largest Palestinian city with some 300,000 residents. The fighting began as 40 tanks charged into the city's Shajaiyeh neighborhood late Tuesday. The forces withdrew six hours later. The crowded towns make it difficult and dangerous for Israeli troops to operate.
Awww, the POOR ISRAELI OPPRESSORS and OCCUPIERS!!!!
FUCK YOU, AP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In addition, the territory is fenced off from Israel, which keeps the militants pinned in, and has largely limited their attacks to Israeli troops and Jewish settlers already inside Gaza.
Doesn't seem to be much of a problem for the Zionist press, does it?
And it AIN'T JUST "militants," jewpress; it is ALL PALESTINIANS!!!
Penned up in the WORLDS BIGGEST PRISON!!!!!!
However, Israeli leaders promised a crackdown on Hamas after the group blew up an Israeli tank on Saturday, killing four soldiers. The raid was the second in Gaza City since that attack, and the third in the past month.
So WHY has the JEWSMEDIA kept that SO QUIET?!
None of this was in my WAR DAILIES!!!!!!
The Israeli media have predicted the army will carry out a series of operations aimed at Hamas, though it is not expected to reoccupy the coastal territory, where more than 1 million Palestinians and about 7,000 Jewish settlers live.
Yup, we are all just WAITING!!
Seven of the Palestinians killed in the overnight fighting were militants or members of the security forces, and four were civilians, according to Palestinian hospitals. In addition, 25 Palestinians were wounded.
The Israeli tanks, accompanied by attack helicopters, entered the Shajaiyeh neighborhood late Tuesday from three directions, residents said, and several tanks also surrounded an elementary school run by Hamas in the nearby Tufah area.
This hapeens EVERY DAY, AmeriKa -- and YOU SUPPORT IT with your TAX $$$$!!!!
The Israeli military said soldiers blew up four metal workshops used for manufacturing weapons and exchanged fire with gunmen, and there were no Israeli casualties.
In one instance, three civilians, including two brothers were killed. After the Israelis blew up a workshop on the ground floor of a three-story building, the troops left and the three Palestinian men entered, Palestinian witnesses said. Then came a second explosion, which brought down much of the building, crushing the three men to death, including brothers Said al-Helo, 21, and Ala al-Helo, 26, according to the building's owner Mohammed al-Kataa.
Translation: ISRAEL RIGGED a BOOBY-TRAP!!!!!!!
Another civilian, a nurse, was shot and killed when he left his house to help his sick neighbor, Palestinians said. The Palestinian dead also included three security officers, shot by an Israeli attack helicopter that fired on a checkpoint they were manning, Palestinians said.
Israel says many Palestinian metal workshops in Gaza produce the mortars and rockets that Hamas fires at Jewish settlements and Israeli villages just beyond the border fence. Palestinians say most of the workshops destroyed by Israeli forces are ordinary businesses that aren't involved in the conflict.
Palestinian witnesses said an explosion set one of the Israeli tanks on fire late Tuesday night. Hamas claimed responsibility, saying one of its suicide bombers, Karim Batron, 21, blew up the tank. The Israeli military said it knew nothing of the incident.
Whatever, Iz-ray-HELL!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile, in the West Bank, a 32-year-old Palestinian baker was killed on his way to work as Israeli troops carried out house-to-house searches in the narrow confines of Nablus' Old City, Palestinian security officials said. The soldiers took over two schools, bringing detainees to the sites for questioning, Palestinian witnesses said. The Israeli army did not immediately comment.
