Nine people were killed in an attack against Israel on Thursday. Six of the people killed were innocent civilians. Two of the wounded were small children, ages 4 and 7.

Directly from Israel:

“In one week alone, Israel has suffered multiple terror attacks in which nine innocent Israelis have been killed. Dozens have been injured including two young children.

Yet the world is silent.

There have been hundreds of rockets fired into southern Israel by terrorists in Gaza. Residents live in fear with only seconds to run to the nearest shelter. Sleepless nights of terror and fear have become “normal.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said:

“We all witnessed an attempt to ratchet up the level of terror emanating from Sinai,” he said. “If someone thinks that Israel will put up with this, he is wrong.”

“I have established a principle: when Israeli citizens are hurt, we hit back immediately, and with force. This principle was implemented today. The people who gave the order to murder our civilians, who were hiding in Gaza, are no longer among the living.”
