David Reaboi is right:
Do you think Hamas turned on the TV and saw the Democrats unable to condemn Ilan Omar and thought, “the Democrats will support us when we bomb Israel?” I think it certainly played a big part. https://t.co/7CwqtPTSvR

“Two rockets fired at Tel Aviv from Gaza,” by Anna Ahronheim, Jerusalem Post, March 14, 2019:

According to the IDF, although the Iron Dome missile defense system was activated, there were no interceptions as both rockets fell in open territory.
It was the first time sirens were activated in Tel Aviv since the last war with Gaza in 2014 and several Israelis were treated for shock.
As a result of the rockets, Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be holding security consultations at the Kirya IDF Military Headquarters in Tel Aviv to discuss an Israeli response.
Local reports in Gaza said that Hamas had begun evacuating military posts in anticipation of retaliatory strikes by Israel.
While there were no special instructions given by the Home Front Command to residents of central Israel, the municipality of Tel Aviv has opened bomb shelters across the city.
According to initial reports, the two Fajr rockets were fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in Gaza, the second strongest group in the coastal enclave after Hamas.
IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis said that the military still does not know who fired the rockets and PIJ later denied reports that it was responsible, saying that it did not play a role in the launching of the rockets.
According to a report in Haaretz, an Egyptian security delegation which had been in Gaza negotiating a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel left the Strip at Israel’s request following the rocket fire….
