| Hamas Fires Numerous Rockets at Sderot, Ashkelon |
| 2008-02-28 |
| As of mid day local time: Two people were lightly wounded on Thursday as a barrage of Qassam rockets rained down on the Negev town of Sderot. Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired at least 10 rockets into Israel by mid-Thursday afternoon, police said. Militants also launched five Grad-type missiles at southern Israel, striking Ashkelon. ---------- The rocket count will increase during the day. So will the IDF response. |

| #3 The IDF depends heavily on intel from Palestinians to find out where targets are. Sometimes they get the intel quickly, sometimes not. Also, the IDF frequently gives the Egypt and Jordan intel services a heads up just before a big op. This helps these two services position their assets to monitor MBro-hood/Hamas/AlQ activity. |

| #2 The IDF response seems pretty muted so far. It's time to ratchet up. |
