War With Gaza: Continuous Updates
UPDATE: 12 am (Friday) Israel Time

According to the IDF, 250 missiles were fired at Israel today between 2:30 pm and 8:00 pm. In total, the IDF said that as of 8:00 pm, “803 missiles have been fired at Israel.”
Again, we know this to be understated because of residents’ reports on the ground. This 803 number also does not include missiles fired in the last 4 hours.
To the best of our ability, we here at OneIsrael calculate that 968 missiles have actually been fired by the terrorists in Gaza.

The Nauseatingly Absurd Quote of the Day
“Israel must obey international humanitarian law, including the proportionate use of force. Condemn the launch of rockets from Gaza to Israel, and call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and act to stop hostilities immediately.”
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
Guterres could not be more wrong.
What Israel needs to do is use highly disproportionate force to root out the terrorists in Gaza who are targeting Israeli men, women, and children.

A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
