The ceasefire will be confirmed “only by action, not words,” a senior Israeli political official said.
By Adina Katz, World Israel News
Gaza terrorists launched rockets towards the south and center of Israel after a ceasefire was announced Wednesday evening. No casualties were reported.
The security establishment was not taken by surprise, Hebrew-language media reported. The Israeli Air Force immediately launched an attack on the Strip.
The IDF estimated that roughly 300 rocketswere fired from the Strip into Israel throughout the afternoon. One hit a home in the beleaguered southern city of Sderot; another hit a kindergarten in the region. https://worldisraelnews.com/prepared-for-prolonged-fighting-israel-gaza-ceasefire-announced-followed-by-new-wave-of-rockets-sirens-in-tel-aviv/?utm_source=newsletters_worldisraelnews_com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Massive+Rocket+Barrage+Hits+Israel%3B+Sirens+Blare+in+Tel+Aviv%3B+Netanyahu+Warns+of+Long+Multi-front+War%3B+Over+350+Rockets+Fired%3B+Jewish+Cousins+Murdered+in+Synagogue&utm_campaign=20230510_m173384558_Massive+Rocket+Barrage+Hits+Israel%3B+Sirens+Blare+in+Tel+Aviv%3B+Netanyahu+Warns+of+Long+Multi-front+War%3B+Over+350+Rockets+Fired%3B+Jewish+Cousins+Murdered+in+Synagogue&utm_term=Massive+Rocket+Barrage+Hits+Israel_3A+IDF+Prepared+for+Long+War+on+Multiple+Fronts

s Israel On The Verge Of War?: PIJ Terrorists Fire Hundreds Of Rockets Following Targeted Israeli Operation
How did this all begin? Operation Shield and Arrow is what Israel has named it. It began overnight Tuesday with a surprise attack, which is the only way to describe it. Israeli airstrikes in Gaza eliminated three top Palestinian Islamic Jihad leaders. One was the leader of Islamic Jihad operations in northern Gaza, the other was a member of the Islamic Jihad Military Council, and the third member directed Islamic Jihad activities in the West Bank. Now we call the West Bank “Judea and Samaria” because that’s what the Bible calls it. It is the Biblical heartland of Israel.
Bennett to CNN: I will not apologize for Israel’s defending its people
“Israel has an obligation to defend its people. What would you do if your kids…would you allow them to be next to rocket launchers?” Bennett replied, to which the interviewer retorted: “No I wouldn’t, but I wouldn’t target civilians, and this is my question to you.” “Nobody is targeting civilians,” Bennett clarified, and the interviewer asked, “Mr. Bennett, are you accusing children of being part of this?” “No, I’m accusing Islamic Jihad of murdering its own children by cynically shooting rockets at Israeli children but surrounding their own weapons with civilians in Gaza. There is no method that is more cowardly than what they’re doing
No ceasefire as Israel kills another Islamic Jihad commander
Egypt continued mediating a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad to end Operation Shield and Arrow on Wednesday, even as the latter continued a barrage of rockets towards Israeli cities in the south and Tel Aviv area. “The campaign still isn’t over,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement to the media. “We say to the terrorists and those who sent them: We see you everywhere; you can’t hide.”
More than 470 rockets fired at Israel from Gaza, as of 11:30 pm Israel — IDF striking back
Israel at this hour is sustaining the most intense rocket attack in nearly year, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of Israel’s miraculous rebirth. As of 11:30 p.m. local time, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have fired more than 470 rockets, according to Israel Defense Forces. The critical question is whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can restore a state of deterrence and bring the attacks to a halt, or whether the Jewish state is about to face a rapid and major escalation?
‘We, not the terrorists, will choose the time and place,’ Netanyahu says; ‘campaign is not yet over’
We are still in the midst of a campaign. At this very moment, our forces are fiercely attacking the Gaza Strip and exacting a heavy price from the terrorist organizations,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement to Israeli citizens Wednesday evening.
