The latest rocket attack by Hamas sent a long range missile in the direction of Beersheba, and it struck a house (via Breitbart):

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel would “act forcefully” in response to a predawn rocket attack from the Gaza Strip that struck a Beersheba home, as a shaky calm appeared to return to the area.

The comments came after the prime minister met with top security officials for emergency consultations over the flareup, which sent already high border tensions skyrocketing. The Israel Defense Forces said it bombed at least 20 targets in Gaza in response to the missile attack.

“Israel views with utmost gravity the attacks against it on the fence, on the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip, on Beersheba — everywhere. I said at the start of the cabinet meeting this week that if the attacks don’t end, we’ll end them,” Netanyahu said in the IDF Gaza Division’s headquarters near the Strip.

“I want to say to you today: Israel will act very forcefully,” the prime minister added.

I would remind that words alone do not work, only deeds, so they're going to have to re-penetrate into Gaza and destroy the Hamas autocracy there. Also, the Beersheba incident wasn't the only place that experienced this form of attack:

A second rocket was also fired from the Gaza Strip on Thursday morning. It landed off the coast of the greater Tel Aviv area, known in Israel as Gush Dan.

Even if no casualties resulted from this cowardly attack by Hamas, it still proves beyond doubt that their weapons are fully capable of reaching very far. Next time, if affirmative action isn't taken, there could be real disaster. So they'll have to start working on a raid into Gaza now, in order to prevent more like this from happening again.
