Of the leading 2020 Democratic candidates, not one of them posted on Twitter about the barrage of nearly 700 rockets fired by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad from the Gaza Strip against Israel, a review of their accounts shows.

A ceasefire on May 6 was agreed upon after two days of rocket blasts and air-raid sirens. The dawn deal restored relative calm after the barrage that marked the most serious outbreak of violence between Palestinian terrorists and Israel for months. Four Israelis were killed amid the onslaught.
