Hamas began shooting projectiles at Israeli civilians starting at 7:37PM on Wednesday evening and launched them consistently until early Thursday morning.

In response, IDF fighter jets struck 12 terror targets in Gaza, including a factory used to manufacture parts for terror tunnels and concrete, a maritime terror tunnel shaft along the coast, and several terror sites in military compounds, among them rocket manufacturing facilities and a central logistical military complex.

The factory used to manufacture parts for terror tunnels was intended to be used as a hotel, but was overtaken by the Hamas terror organization in 2012. The factory manufactures parts for terror tunnels under the guise of civilian infrastructure.

Construction site of a Marriott Hotel, whose construction was halted years ago

In 2012, during Operation Pillar of Defense, senior Hamas members used the building as shelter, believing the IDF would not target a civilian hotel construction site. In this building, Hamas terrorists continued to plan fighting and command rocket launching units. Months later, in 2013, Hamas took over the site entirely, blocked the entrance, and began establishing a concrete factory under the guise of a civilian construction site. The factory manufactured concrete parts designed exclusively for terror tunnels, including reinforcements, flooring, and concrete arches, which have no civilian use.

It's not being covered for the same reason most shootings in the USA are not covered - its not flashy new news. Israel is always under rocket attack, so its boring. The latest vomit from President Moron gets views and clicks, so they will cover that rather than yet another Fight between the Israelis and Palestinians that people will just scroll past.

Its completely unfair but that's the reality. No conspiracy needed, just corporate media.

We assume Israel is under attack at the best of times of course if we were to talk about atrocities we don’t notice this should be a long conversation about the democratic republic of Congo.

If the point here was integrity and substance in journalism this should be a talk about the DNC and not simply repeating some story we all know because it suits your politics.

The formation of Israel was part of a process that started in the late 1800s with the birth of the movement to establish a Jewish state in Palestine and it was always intended that the existing inhabitants (95% Arab) would have to be expelled or killed to make way for the invaders from elsewhere in the world.

The process will not stop until the entire Gaza Strip and West Bank have been depopulated and replaced by settlers and it is immaterial to those directing the operation whether the victims die or flee.

The reality is there will NEVER be peace ion the Middle East as long as the Republic of Israel is there.

Surely all rational people can see that plonking it down there was an "epic fail" to use modern parlance.
