Why is Israel attacking the Gaza strip?

I know it's getting quite bad but I forgot to get the newspaper on the day the conflict started and I can't find any online news stories about its origin? Also are they really going to go with a ground invasion? Surely they'd lose more than they gain

    Because they attacked them first.

    Also, Israel was bombed from 0bama's friends in Egypt.

    because the Israelies are ill to lack of existence of rocket attacks on a famous foundation and quite can not convey themselves to "love" a neighbour(s) who've publicly reported back and back that they are going to, "Wipe Israel from the face of the earth" they are doing it to presere their personal destiny. imagine of ways a lot Jews were hated and despised by historic past, thnk about the nasty way inhabitants of Gaza and different muslim countries deliver suicide bombers (its not in any respect the clerics who attempt this - oftentimes nuts, women folk and little ones who're used as catspaws.) you may want to discover that you answer your individual question

    in the year 2000 terror organizations began shooting rockets from the gaza strip towards israeli towns and villages. 5 years later, israel decided to leave the gaza strip in attempt to disclaim the occupation claim, and in yet against another shot at peace. unfortunately, the fire hasn't ceased from gaza into israel. in the passed year alone over a thousand rockets were shot towards israel. in the past days there were over 900 attacks on israel.

    there is a round of oscillation every few years, when the hamas and other terror organization decides to shoot at israel even more. only on last sunday there were 100 rockets shot at the south of israel, leaving a quarter of israeli residents under the clouds of rockets. now these rockets reach tel aviv, n the center of the country - with 45% of the general israeli population in fear of getting hit by missiles.

    This has got to STOP. stop terror.

    Hamas fired 200 rockets into israel > israel bombs a car containing the hamas leader > hamas fires more rockets > israel fires loads back

    The same reason as always.

    To create more profits for the military industrial complex.

    Start a few false flag attacks, whip up public resentment, cause some economic hardships...

    the recipe for war.

    It's cookbook.

    I hope the jews wipe out the enemy, once and for all. And then go to the next country that kills a jew.

    The liberals that gave Gaza back for peace should be taken care of also. The USA government was involved in that also.

    Israel assassinated an Hamas leader(civilian) in Gaza..so the Palestinians fired rockets in retaliation..and Israel said "hey they're attacking us for NO REASON" "we're going to invade"

    This is why everyone hates Israel and their ally the USA..Israel also continues to assassinate civilian scientists in Iran...bet you don't hear that on the MSM either

    Don't know about the origin of the attacks and yet you already know who is responsible for the first attack
