The Israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike Thursday morning in the central Gaza Strip in response to a rocket attack on Israel on Wednesday evening. A rocket launched from Gaza exploded in an open field in the Eshkol Regional Council of the western Negev. No damage or injuries were reported.
The Israel Defense Forces said it responded by striking a Hamas weapons facility, in line with Israel's policy that all rocket fire from Gaza is the responsibility of Hamas, the terrorist group that rules the Palestinian enclave.
BOSTON – The era of Big Labor dominance in Massachusetts politics may soon be over.
Earlier this month, Suffolk County Superior Court Judge Linda Giles heard arguments in a lawsuit that challenges the privileged place of unions under current Massachusetts campaign finance law. Current law allows unincorporated groups, such as labor unions, to contribute up to $15,000 to candidates, parties and political committees, but bans campaign contributions by incorporated businesses.
