Palestinian fired 14 rockets since ceasefire began last Sunday
2006-11-29
(KUNA) -- The Israeli military accused on Tuesday the Palestinian of launching 14 rockets since Sunday's ceasefire agreement. The Israeli radio, quoting an Israeli military spokesman, said "around ten rockets have been launched shortly after the ceasefire began at 0600am Sunday." The Israeli spokesman added that another four rockets launched in the next two days, two of them targeted the Israeli settlement of Sderot today.

Meanwhile, Palestinian security sources denied any rocket attacks on the Israeli settlement today, adding that there were no claims of responsibility from any Palestinian faction yet. Earlier, Palestinian factions have issued a warning to continue rocket attacks in response to Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza. In the ceasefire agreement, Israel refused to halt military operations in Gaza.

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ehrunot said on its website today that Palestinian Al-Aqsa Brigades, Fatah's armed wing, is going to show off the new "Jund Allah 1 rocket." "The Brigades clarified that in case of an Israeli escalation, the new rocket will land in a short time in Israel," the Israeli newspaper added.

#3  Thank you for the figures, Bernardz. Round up the number of days since the ceasefire began to four, as it's midday Wednesday in Israel already, and I calculate 3.5 rockets per day thus far. Truly it must be said, if it weren't so despicably evil, it would be funny.

#2  You want to know how many before PA Chairman Abbas "comprehensive cease-fire" came into effect at 06:00 Sunday, 26 Nov 2006.

Well the firing of Kassam rockets in 2005, were 377 rocket attacks in 2005. That is about one a day.

#1  How does this compare with the non-ceasefire rate of fire?
