Israel's Operation Protective Edge started July 8, 2014, came to an end on August 26, 2014. It had lasted for 1 month 2 weeks 4 days. Hamas fired some rockets from Lebanon.
4,594 rockets and mortars had been launched towards Israel. Gaza and Israel had an unoffical cease-fire.
A cease-fire lasted for 6 months. Then in February 2015 , the Palestinians fired one rocket into Israel.
On April 23, Israel's 67th Independence Day (May 14, 1948 birth), a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel. It hit an open field in the Sha'ar HaNegev region near Sderot causing no injuries or damage. Evidently the Arabs knew Israel was using their Hebrew calendar for this event.
In May, Palestinians fired one rocket into Israel. It was on May 27th when an M-75 or Grad missile impacted in Gan Yavne, a city east of Ashdod. No report of injuries or damage were noted.
This month, the 4th of June-Wednesday Israel time at about 11:00pm, Ashkelon and Netivot's sirens sounded because 3 rockets were fired from Gaza at Israel and exploded near those cities. 2 landed in Sdot Negev Regional Council area and 1 near Ashkelon. No casualties or damage were reported.
This time, after 6 rockets had been shot into their land this year, the IDF retaliated the next morning with airstrikes against empty Hamas training camps in Gaza. Then the Palestinians complained to Egypt that Israel was hitting them!
The Times of Israel reported: that "a Hamas source told Israel Radio that the rockets may have been fired by a cell of Salafist extremists allied with the Islamic State in retaliation for one of its members being killed by Hamas on Tuesday. The source said that Hamas was deploying its troops across the Gaza Strip to keep the peace."
So here we have fighting in Gaza over supremacy; Hamas and Salafist IS terrorists. At this time, Obama is claiming that Israel really doesn't want peace, and it's Israel who is the victim of terrorism and their associated bombing! I think that all Obama is concerned with is filling in his list of Things to Do during his 2nd term in office, regardless of what's going on.
Ashkelon is constantly in danger from bombing. In the early 1950s, many South African Jews settled in Ashkelon, establishing the Afridar neighbourhood. They were followed by an influx of immigrants from the United Kingdom. In 2011 the city had a population of 117,400. it holds an important hospital for the area that serves both Arabs and Jews.
