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.

    People without a state fighting for their right to be a state shoots rockets at country that they are at war with.

    Kiev shoots rockets into Russia and everyone gets it.

    I’m anti-war as much as the next person but I can understand that a besieged people will act like they are under seige.

      “Kiev” eh, tovarisch? Ukraine doesn’t bomb residential targets. Palestinians should have their own country but don’t defend what Hamas are doing here.

        It’s been almost a decade of civilian targets in Donetsk Oblast getting struck. Sure, blame it on civil war, but point still holds.

      Can’t believe you’re being downvoted. Palestinians have ever right to defend themselves against Zionist colonists who have stolen their country.

      Israel is built on stolen land and mass graves.

        Eh, internet points are not real. Much of the conversation devolves into purity of tactics for a people who attack their subjugators. Decades of subjugation and genocide are irrelevant but we will overanalyze the actions of the oppressed as society always does.

      Ukraine fires rockets at military targets. Hamas fires rockets at civilian population centers. Most people get the distinction.

        Yes, it’s the Russian spelling, but it was the widespread on English language maps for decades. It’s an easy mistake to make. Kyiv is preferred, sure, but the actual name is Київ.

          It’s 2024. The naming has significance and to ignore that is disrespectful, and communicates a pro Russian invasion stance.

          Edit downvotes from pro Russians. Fuck yall
