Israeli army strikes Gaza after gunfire from enclave
The Israeli military said it launched strikes Tuesday on the Gaza Strip, after gunfire from the Palestinian enclave.
"Following the firing of a bullet from the Gaza Strip into Israel, the IDF (military) is currently striking a Hamas military post in the northern Gaza Strip," the army said in a statement.
In accordance with Israel's policy of proportional retaliation, the counter-strike consisted of two rounds of 7.62x51 mm ammunition. The bullet fired from the Gaza strip was of 7.62x39 mm calibre.
May one ask exactly how you know these operational details?
Some time ago a senior Israeli source said that any attack from the Gaza Strip would be answered 100-fold.
One of these days the terrorists might, only might, learn that it is useless and dangerous to open fire on Israeli territory.
If Israel fired one 155mm howitzer shell, let's say it weighs fifty kilograms, that would be how many times heavier than the weight of one rifle bullet, which is about twenty-five grams?
