Rocket fired from Gaza hits Israel
2011-08-08
JERUSALEM Palestinian militants inside the Gaza Strip fired a rocket into southern Israel late on Sunday that hit without causing casualties or damage, a military spokeswoman said.
They hit a desert? Awesome shooting, guys! Once again they demonstrate how fortunate Israel is in her enemies...
"The short-range rocket landed in an inhabited area in the Shaar Negev sector northeast of the Gaza Strip," she said.

The attack came despite Hamas security forces in Gaza on Saturday detaining two members of an Islamist group suspected of firing rockets at the Jewish state.

On Thursday night, a rocket was fired at the southern town of Kiryat Gat without causing any harm, the Israeli military said. In response, an Israeli warplane attacked a group suspected of firing the rocket, a military spokeswoman said.
For which the Israelis were immediately condemned...
Israeli retaliation for attacks from Gaza has focused on targeting bases of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military branch of Hamas.
Perhaps they should also focus on the Ezzedine leadership...
The past month has seen an increase in rockets and other projectiles fired at Israel from Gaza after several months of calm following a flare-up in April when an anti-tank missile hit an Israeli school bus, killing a teenager.

Israel responded to that attack with a series of air strikes that killed at least 19 Palestinians in the deadliest violence since Israel's devastating 22-day "Operation Cast Lead" assault on Gaza in December 2008-January 2009

#1  I would respond to every rocket attack with a daisycutter.
Put an end to the rocket attacks real quick.
