Israel Mobilizes Army And Calls Up Reserves After Early Morning Rocket Attack From Gaza Forces Netanyahu To Leave Washington And Return Home

An early morning rocket fired from the Gaza Strip demolished a house in central Israel on Monday, wounding seven people and prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut short a trip to Washington.

Benjamin Netanyahu had just arrived in Washington when news of the early morning rocket attack from Hamas in the Gaza Strip sent him into immediate emergency security council sessions. Israel has decided to call up limited amounts of their reserves and have mobilized their army.

Israel will be holding their elections in just under two weeks, and it is quite possible that they could be at war as voters go to the polls. If that’s the case, it will be Netanyahu in a landslide. The Jewish people have no doubts of any kind of his devotion to Israel and of his desire to keep its people safe.

Israel mobilizes after Gaza rocket attack, escalation looms

FROM THE AP: The military quickly mobilized troops and called up reserves, setting the stage for a potential major conflagration shortly before Israel’s upcoming elections. The rocket destroyed a residential home in the farming community of Mishmeret, north of the city of Kfar Saba, wounding six members of a family. The Magen David Adom rescue service said it treated seven people overall, including two women who were moderately wounded. The others, including two children and an infant, had minor wounds.

The sounds of air raid sirens jolted residents of the Sharon area, northeast of Tel Aviv, from their sleep shortly after 5 a.m., sending them scurrying to bomb shelters. A strong sound of an explosion followed.

The Israeli military said militants from Gaza’s ruling Hamas movement fired the rocket from one of their launching pads in southern Gaza Strip, near Rafah. Maj. Mika Lifshitz, a military spokeswoman, said it was a self-manufactured rocket with a range of 120 kilometers (75 miles). She added that two armor and infantry brigades were being mobilized to the Gaza front and that a limited drafting of reserves was also taking place.

IMAGINE: You wake up to the sound of air-raid sirens & realize that terrorists fired a rocket at your home.

The family home in Mishmeret was left in ruins, with tiles, broken furniture and debris scattered about. A shattered baby’s crib lay among the rubble and two family dogs died in the explosion.

“It’s a miracle that nobody got killed,” said Assi Dvilanski, a Magen David Adom paramedic who was one of the first responders at the scene.

Netanyahu, in Washington to meet President Donald Trump, held emergency consultations with military officials back in Israel and decided to cut his visit short, cancelling a planned address to the AIPAC conference and meetings with congressional leaders.

“There has been a criminal attack on the State of Israel and we will respond forcefully,” he said. “In a few hours I will meet with President Trump. I will return to Israel immediately afterward.” READ MORE
