Palestinian missiles slam into Sderot
(KUNA) -- Palestinian factions continued on Friday missile attacks on Isreli settlements North of Gaza in a retaliatory measure for the occupation army's wide military operations in Gaza Strip. Meanwhile three Palestinian factions said in separate statements issued here today that Israeli settlements were targets of more missile attacks.
The Qassam brigades, the military wing for the Islamic Hamas movement, said two "Qassam" rockets were fired at the Israeli Southern settlement of Sderot late last night. The al Quds brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, also said a medium-range rocket code-named "al Quds" was fired on the same settlement at dawn Friday. Israel's army reported today that two rockets that were fired from the Northern parts of Gaza Strip have slammed into the settlement of Sderot inflicting damages to its commercial centre.
I occasionally wonder what would happen if the Israeli government provided the citizens of Sderot with simple rockets and explosives and told them to go ahead and launch them in the general direction of Gaza. I'm sure there would be an international outcry, but at least they'd be trading rockets with the Paleos instead of just standing on the receiving end like sheep. |
