23 people are in light condition after being injured by shrapnel from glass, smoke inhalation, or were injured when running to seek shelter from the rocket fire. 27 people have been treated for shock.
Speechless!
Giving Hamas just enough time to regroup and reload. Shameful!! They should have atomized and incinerated the entire place AND THEN said that they would be open to a ceasefire – when all of the terrorists were dead. It’s almost like what is currently happening in crown heights, show all of your enemies that you are inherently weak, and expect them to stop the aggression and bloodshed….. Insane!
The Kangaroo
