An IDF spokesman addressed residents of the Gaza Strip in Arabic following yesterday's military escalation when more that twenty rockets were fired from Gaza into southern Israel. "The Islamic Jihad group hurts you most of all," the spokesman said. "The consequences of its actions bring about a reality in which you do not want to live and efforts to achieve a state of calm are made more difficult. Hundreds of trucks with supplies you need pass through the Kerem Shalom crossing every day but the recent military escalation is why the crossing is now closed."
