Thursday’s army statement says fighter jets targeting “underground infrastructure in a Hamas military compound” in Gaza after air defenses intercepted a rocket launched from the Gaza Strip. There were no immediate reports of casualties on either side.
The cross-border exchange between Israel and Gaza is the first flare-up of hostilities since an early May cease-fire halted the worst bout of violence between the two sides in recent years.
It came shortly after the Israeli military said it had closed Gaza’s offshore waters to Palestinian fishermen until further notice in response to incendiary balloons launched into Israel in recent days.
If we would be taking the inspiration of the yom tov of Shavuos with us this wouldn’t be happening. We spent so much time, energy and money preparing for Shavuos and then we stay up all night learning and instead of growing from it we are disconnecting from it. This year especially we had three days to bask in kedusha, it should have catapulted us way up there. But it’s not too late. We all need to think of one vort we heard on the yom tov that we liked and repeat it to someone today and that would help us bring back and hold on to the chag. In our family we call it LOCK IT IN VORT LIIV for short like live to become alive from it and for it to last us until the next yom tov. May we succeed I”YH in this endeavor.
