In one of it's most blatant attempts to inflict massive civilian casualties on Israel, Hamas sent a drone laden with explosive over a heavily populated neighborhood of the Israeli city of Ashdod. Fortunately, the Israelis were able to shoot it down:
An enemy Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), apparently laden with explosives, was shot down by the IDF near the port city of Ashdod Monday morning.
The interception caused a strong explosion to rock Ashdod and the air raid sirens went off, at around 6:30 a.m..
The Navy is reportedly looking for remains of the UAV.
The IDF Spokesman said that the UAV was shot down by a Patriot missile and that it fell in an open space along the Ashdod beach.
Mordechai Weisman, a resident of the Beit Shemesh area, told Arutz Sheva that the downing of the UAV "was accompanied by a very loud and long jet-like rumbling sound" that could be heard dozens of kilometers away.
“I just saw and heard massive column of smoke rising from Tel Aviv / coastal area,” he told Arutz Sheva's Tamar Yonah. “It sounded as loud as a large jet engine even from here near Beit Shemesh. Like nothing we've seen before. Looking at the photo, I would say it is coming from the Ashdod area. And just for the record, it was really scary watching and listening to that. The image does not at all do it justice...”
Here's a tweet from Avital Leibovich, a former IDF spokeswoman:

If this report is true, than it presents a whole new level of threat to Israel and all of the free world. In their quest for dominance of the region, competing Islamic factions are killing each other for the final Islamic privilege of wiping out Israel/Jews and all infidels, including Christians. The world pressures Israel to stop defending itself but I wonder how the fine citizens of Europe and America would feel if they were under a barrage of missiles increasing in lethality by the month – with the importation of Iranian, Chinese and Russian technology. I do not like war but if my own family were being fired upon by a bunch of terrorists hiding behind their Mosque or missile launchers in their living rooms, I would have no problem targeting them to protect and defend my own. If the world has a problem with that then they will soon find out, with the spread of radical Islam that they too will have to make some very hard choices. I know what Europeans would do because they seem to have no trouble killing people by the millions as we witnessed during the Holocaust – those people were law-abiding, good citizens; whereas the ones who are taking over Europe are not – they want to replace European and American society with their own form of Islamic rule. Then the free world will be going to Israel for training on how to properly deal with terrorists without causing too much indiscriminate collateral damage to citizens. The missile from Hezbollah deserves a harsh and quick response from the entire world – and that response must be military and political at the same time.
