Just a note that, AFAIK, “rockets loaded with ball-bearings,” would be referring to Katyusha missiles, like those fired throughout this summer’s war against Hizbullah, and not Kassams or mortars – although the damage from the latter is great, as you wrote – with one youth losing a foot, and the second also seriously wounded.

Note results of estimated 40,000 red-hot ball-bearings packed into Katyusha rockets here and here.

Then promptly executed, along with the other insane, suicidal leftists who seek to destroy Israel and bring on a 2nd Holocaust, as if they would be spared the muslim/nazi sword.
