Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.
TIL killing 1143 people in one day at one location is not “en masse”.

Israel has pointedly said that the civilian death toll is irrelevant no matter how big it gets. Killing 3 civilians for every terrorist is considered acceptable numbers by the IDF. For some reason if Hamas uses the same logic to kill 300 soldiers and 900 civilians (many killed by Israeli friendly fire) they’re wrong?
I’m against violence by both sides but this attempt at justifying one and condemning the other is stupid.
That kind of twisted logic is exactly what many in this thread are using — somehow defending Palestinians’ murder of civilians because they are oppressed. It’s repulsive.
