Two Killed in Hamas Rocket Strike
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Two foreign workers were killed in a Hamas rocket strike in the Eshkol Region opposite southern Gaza on Tuesday. A third foreign worker is in serious condition. A woman was injured in a rocket attack on Ashkelon. Ali Muhammad Elyan, a Palestinian from the West Bank town of Baqa al-Sharqiya, north of Tulkarem, was killed from a missile launched from Gaza that struck the village. On Tuesday, at least nine Hamas terrorists were killed in Israeli territory, including one near Kibbutz Sa'ad, four near Zikim, two near Sderot, and two near Re'im. In a video statement on Tuesday, Maj.-Gen. Ghassan Alian, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, addressed a message to Gaza residents and the Hamas leadership. "Kidnapping, abusing and murdering children, women and elderly people is not human. There is no justification for that. Hamas has turned into ISIS, and the residents of Gaza, instead of being appalled, are celebrating. Human animals must be treated as such. There will be no electricity and no water [in Gaza], there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell."
