What Is Happening On the Gaza Border Nov 2018

📣I like to share questions I recieve from others and my responses, because these can be good learning opportunities for others. ⤵️

QUESTION: Didn't this recent barrage start after a failed covert op? Resulting in 7 dead Palestinians? Or was there an act that directly caused the covert op?

ANSWER: The covert operation left 7 Hamas TERRORISTS dead. Not random civilians. These are the same terrorists who have been targeting Israel for months now. This mission did not go as planned (nobody was supposed to be killed), but it was for a reason- in response to terrorism.
Israeli military sources indicated that the raid was not an attempted assassination against Hamas figures but a more routine intelligence gathering operation that had been completed when the troops were spotted and confronted, prompting exchanges of gunfire.

There have been incendiary kites and balloons flying into southern Israel for months. There have been many issues that many people don’t hear about. It's been hell for those Israelis civilians and so Israel was responding to that. There was even a terrorist who recently infiltrated from Gaza and set a greenhouse on fire. Israel has also been dealing with agricultural terrorism from these kites and balloons. There are fires along the border that people are living with every day. Besides the point is that any other country would never have allowed incendiary balloons and kites the way Israel did. Honestly surprised this didn’t happen sooner. Israel is doing what it needs to do (and perhaps not even enough) to protect its civilians.
