What did I tell you?!?

There will never be peace between Israel and Palestine. Militant groups are already firing home-made rockets into Israel, forcing Israel to defend itself, which in turn starts the whole mad merry-go-round in motion once more.

Consider the following post from Yahoo! News...

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - The Israeli air force attacked three buildings in the Gaza Strip early Saturday, the first airstrikes since Israel withdrew from Gaza last week after 38 years of occupation, the army said.

Hospital officials said three people were hurt.

The attacks, which Israel said targeted militant weapons facilities, came after militants fired 21 homemade rockets from the Gaza Strip into the Israeli town of Sderot, injuring five Israelis, the army said.

Hamas claimed responsibility for many of the rockets, blaming Israel for a blast that killed 15 people Friday at a rally in the northern Gaza refugee camp of Jebaliya.

Israel denied involvement in that blast, and Palestinian security forces said it was caused by the militants' mishandling of explosives.

The Israeli army said the airstrikes targeted three Hamas weapons facilities: a weapons warehouse in Jebaliya and a weapons factory and warehouse in Gaza City.

One missile landed in a field near an abandoned workshop where militants used to make homemade rockets in Gaza City, according to security officials.

The owner of the workshop, Mahed Abu Assi, 42, denied that it was used to produce weapons.

The second airstrike hit a garage outside the house of a Hamas fighter. The third landed near the house of an Islamic Jihad militant in Gaza City.

Before leaving Gaza last week, Israeli officials said they would deal harshly with any attacks originating from the volatile coastal strip.

Militants fired a total of 30 homemade rockets from Gaza into Israel since Friday afternoon.

Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the first wave, saying they were retaliation for an Israeli raid near the West Bank town of Tulkarem that killed three Islamic Jihad militants.

Hamas spokesman Mushir al Masri said the group would retaliate for the airstrikes.


There can be no peace until Messiah comes. And that day is fast approaching.
