Gaza terrorists have once again attacked their own people with rocket fire that has gone astray.
A Fajr rocket misfired upon launch at the Al-Shifa hospital at instead exploded, killing and injuring numerous civilians in Gaza, including children shortly after 5 pm Monday. Al-Shifa Hospital is the largest medical complex and central hospital of Gaza.
Sources reported that a long-range Iranian-made Fajr missile was responsible for the wide-scale fatalities and wounded at the hospital, including children. Each Fajr missile carries up to 100 kg of explosives in its warhead.
The Al-Shati "refugee camp" was also hit by rocket fire, according to a report by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit. In both cases, Gaza civilians were harmed by rockets launched by Gaza terrorists allied with Hamas who intended their attacks to reach Israeli territory.
It is not clear which terror organization fired which rocket — some reports claimed the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group fired the Fajr, others claimed it was Hamas.
Gaza police and a Palestinian health official told international media, however, that Israeli air strikes had attacked the hospital compound, however, as well as a nearby park, causing casualties in both cases.
Since the start of Operation Protective Edge, approximately 2,250 rockets and missiles have been fired at Israel by Gaza terrorists. More than 100 of those have exploded within Gaza.

Fact, we Israelis want peace and live in peace side by side with Palestinians
Fact, the Palestinians do not want it their goal to destroy us then their punishment to suffer and live like this
Fact, Hamas has fired today near Shifa Hospital and due to a failure of the missile launching Hamas killing its citizens, so who does not care about innocent people? Only Palestinians
Fact, we condemn any harm to innocent people, especially children, compared with the other side celebrating when it happens
Fact, Gazans chose Hamas and its way then the situation is their fault
Fact, Hamas does not care about the residents in Gaza Hamas firing from schools, hospitals, homes, to which Israel will have no choice and bomb there to kill civilians by mistake then Hamas can say that Israel is a criminal
Fact, every country in the world was already occupying Gaza and destroying everything, you hypocrites, we Israelis have lived for years under the threat of missiles coming out of you too indiscriminately to children and helpless
Fact, who takes pride in the murder of children and women are the Arabs and the Palestinians, we Israelis have compassion and even from Gaza we treat the wounded in hospitals in Israel, we regret any harm to children and innocent but that happens only because Hamas
Fact, we left Gaza a few years ago and instead the Palestinians will use it to develop infrastructure, economic, cultural and education they choose to invest in any area of terrorism and money
fact, Israel back to lines 67 and now is not conquering but the Palestinians and the Arab world Moron yell we wear rather than sit and talk about genuine peace, you do not want peace then suffer the consequences
Fact, Hamas, and terrorist organizations are the real problem of the Arab world withdraws the Palestinians, we Israelis solution for better living side by side in mutual development, the real problem that swept through the brain to all the Arab world and no one to talk
Fact, in the Arab world were already in government coups in Egypt, Sudan, Libya and soon Syria, if not better then Gaza residents rise up against Hamas and we'll be the first to help them
Fact, not innocent people of Gaza and innocent as long as they support Hamas why they deserve to suffer and who teaches children to kill Jews deserve to die in agony
Fact, each of you would support the elimination of Gaza if they were digging tunnels under the room your children to kidnap and murder them, each of you would support the occupation of Gaza if the missiles were fired for years and were living under the alarms and do not know what this routine normal
Fact, those who support the kidnapping, murder, stone throwing, stabbings, throwing Molotov cocktails, burning flags and endless more terrible things are Palestinians and Arabs So who's not human? Israelis want peace but we will not hesitate to eliminate anyone who Restoration us
Fact, you are all hypocrites and deny one truth, before you speak against us I suggest you visit here for a few days and then see who is human and who behaves like an animal
Fact, We do not want to do a siege on Gaza deliberately the problem if there will be a blockade all they put in place will be related to terrorism insted Supply and construction of education, culture and housing, what would you do hypocrites?
Fact, Over Tens of thousands of Syrians have been killed in recent months. But Jews Didn't Do it, So the Media Doesn't Care

Mohammed Yahea – go kill yourself for Hamas, don't wait.
Enrique Clunie 2 Av 5774 – July 28, 2014 at 7:26 PM
Obama's flaccid Middle East policy should not pressure Israel into a premature ceasefire without a demilitarized Hamas, which will eventually will be misconstrued as a victory for Hamas. Only way to negotiate with Palestinuans is from a position of power (upper hand). Otherwise, they will play the bravado game, while hiding behind their women and children. No ceasefire for Gaza without a demilitarized Hamas!

Victoria Livshutz 2 Av 5774 – July 28, 2014 at 7:27 PM
I do not think it was Hamas misfire – they did it on purpose.

Is this idiotic or what? Perhaps God is also directing their rockets.

Zuljalali Izdihar, Israeli citizens have been awarded 10 Nobel Prizes. The same number of Nobel Prizes awarded to all Muslims. There are 7,000,000 Israelis and 1,200,000,000 Muslims. I don't think most people would say the Israelis are dumb. Well maybe those people who believe the lies uttered by Hamas and other Anti-Israel groups.
Dani Goblins, quit smoking Dope. All you can do is call names.
