IAF strikes Gaza targets in response to rocket fire
04/28/2013
Israel will not tolerate a "drizzle" of rockets on its territory, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the cabinet Sunday, explaining an IAF strike in Gaza hours earlier against a terror facility and weapons storage site in southern Gaza. The IAF action was in response to overnight rocket fire on the Sdot Negev Regional Council. "I want to make clear that we will not tolerate a 'drizzle' policy; a 'drizzle' of rockets or missiles will be met by a very aggressive reaction, and we will take all necessary action to defend our citizens." In an apparent reference to concern about a spillover from the Syrian civil war, Netanyahu said this policy will be implemented in the "north, south or any other front."
The IDF Spokesperson's Office confirmed a precise hit on the target in Gaza. "The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians, and will not allow for a return to the reality before Pillar of Defense where Israeli civilians are threatened," it said in a statement. Last Sunday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu vowed to respond to the terrorists behind the twin rocket attacks on Eilat eminating from Gaza the week before.

Cease-fire agreement. More rocket attacks. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum.
