The terrorists are still firing rockets, and they hit another terrorist PA policeman today when the rocket failed to achieve its target. Too bad you can’t really make those “Jewish bombs,” hey, Aziz?
Two Palestinians were wounded Sunday when a Qassam rocket aimed at Israel mistakenly hit a house in the Gaza Strip town of Dir al-Balah.
One of the wounded was a Palestinian police officer who lived in the house.
Military sources said that over the past two weeks, since the targeted killing of Luay Saadi, head of the Islamic Jihad’s military wing in the area, some 40 Qassam rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip toward Israel.
However only seven or eight landed within the Green Line, a much smaller number than before disengagement and withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
Sources in the Israel Defense Forces ascribe the low rate of Qassam attacks over the past two weeks to the army’s creation of “buffer zones” by artillery action which, though aimed at open fields, has distanced launchings from the border with Israel and resulted in inaccurate aims.
The fact that Hamas, the organization with the most experience in manufacturing and launching Qassams, is not involved in the attacks has also brought the number of rockets down.
Yeah, Hamas is trying to prove what nice guys they are, so they can run in the PA elections. Then they’ll continue with the murdering terrorist side of the organization.
But that’s a post for another day.
If rockets were falling on US territory from any other country, I would hope that country would halt the attacks. If they did not, I would hope that the US would punish that nation for allowing the shelling. Way back, we gave really bad advice.
It is a continuinng source of shock and sadness that the Jew-hatred among the Gazan Arabs is so great that they prefer to have their own artillery fall back on themselves but for the chance of a few rockets actually hitting a few Jews.
