...and check if the school was safe to open, but Hamas refused to let them in.
So, a school funded by intl. aid to give Gazan children a better future is instead being militarized by a terrorist group.
Again, the world must condemn Hamas for using children as human shields.(/2)

4,000 children.
That's how many students are due to begin the school year next week at this @UNRWA school in Gaza.
But they can't.
Directly below the school, Hamas built a tunnel for its terrorist operations against Israel.
UN inspectors tried to investigate...(/1)

IDF troops just spotted a suspect who drew a knife and attempted to stab an IDF soldier who was operating south of Nablus. The troops operated to stop the assailant. No IDF injuries were reported.
607
15 innocent men, women & children killed. 130 more injured.
20 years ago today, a Hamas suicide bomber blew himself up inside the Sbarro pizzeria in downtown Jerusalem.
This is the enemy we're facing.
Today, we remember the victims and continue our fight against terrorism.

In response to continual launches of arson balloons from Gaza into Israel today, we just struck a Hamas military compound and rocket launching site.
The rocket launching site was in a civilian area, once again emphasizing how Hamas endangers Palestinian civilians.
613
EXPOSED: Hezbollah used civilian areas in southern Lebanon to fire rockets into Israel this morning.
For Hezbollah, the men, women & children of Lebanon are nothing more than human shields for its terrorist operations.
The people of Lebanon deserve better.
614

We will not tolerate any aggression against Israeli civilians and remain prepared for any operational situation.

Today could have been a normal
day in Kiryat Shmona, Israel.
Families gathered,
children played outside,
& people enjoyed the fresh air...
…until they were forced to run to
bomb shelters when their city came
under rocket fire from Lebanon.
We will defend them.
619
Not only is rocket fire from Lebanon at Israeli civilians an act of terrorism, it also is indicative of the Lebanese government's lack of governance of terrorist organizations operating in Lebanon.
The Lebanese government is responsible for all attacks from Lebanon.
620
In response to the rockets fired from Lebanon toward Israel today, IDF artillery forces are currently striking targets along the Lebanese border.
621
RAW FOOTAGE: 3 rockets were just fired from Lebanon toward northern Israel. 2 rockets landed in Israel, and 1 fell inside Lebanon.
