Palestinians slam Sederot with Kassams, mortars
2003-08-22
JPost - Reg req’d - Escalating the cause/effect lesson. Time for a 55 gallon drum of whupass
Palestinian terrorists have been attacking the Israeli Negev town of Sderot and civilian settlements in Gaza with a barrage of Kassam missiles and mortars, a military source told The Jerusalem Post. "Since 10 p.m. last night (Thursday) Palestinians have been launching a steady hail of Kassam missiles and mortar shells aimed at Sderot and Jewish communities in Gaza," the source said.
For the life of me I don’t know why Israel allows settlements in the middle of Paleo-held territory (Gaza), just on the hard-to-defend basis alone, and Gaza is basically a fenced-in paleo territory. West Bank is a different situation
"The Negev town of Sderot has suffered extensive damage to homes with 28 mortars and at least 6 Kassam missiles. These are not small rocks that Palestinian children are throwing. These are missiles with explosive warheads whose only purpose is to kill innocent Jewish civilians and destroy a cease-fire for which Israel desires," the source said. The IDF said that one of it’s positions in Rafiah, near the Israel-Egyptian border, came under automatic weapons fire around noon. No injures have been reported from Sderot or Gaza.
The Paleos' only saving grace, if they have one, is that unless they explode they usually only hit things by accident.
The IDF demolished the homes of three suicide bombers last night in Nablus and Jenin. The IDF has stated that any family which supports acts of terror against Israel will ’pay a heavy price.’ IDF Golani, Paratrooper and Nachal troops took part in anti-terror operations last night arresting 12 men in Nablus, Jenin, Hebron and Bethlehem suspected of planning terror attacks. The IDF reported that their operations were highly selective in detaining only those Palestinians who wish to break the cease-fire.
Quit being so sensitive and crack heads
"It is the objective of the IDF to take action against terrorists and not the Palestinian population which has chosen to support peace with Israel," the source said.
That's always assuming there are any, of course...
A Paratrooper unit discovered an explosives lab in Nablus’ old city yesterday afternoon. The troops found a large amount of triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, a highly volatile material that has been used in previous terrorist bombing plots all over the world, and was used as an "igniter chemical" in the Lockerbie bombing over Scotland in 1988. Army sappers detonated the explosives in a controlled explosion. Military officials said the IDF operations in the West Bank would carry on as long as necessary. The officials said that Israel is still receiving more than 30 terror warnings a day coming out of the Palestinian territories. All the large West Bank cities and towns are under closure.

#1  Counter-battery fire, fellas. It'll teach 'em to be careful where they set up their launchers, and limit the number of rounds they get off before they get hit. It will also teach the paleo civs that letting these guys hang around is a good way to get blown up.
