Palestinians fire rocket from Gaza
2009-02-08
PALESTINIAN militants have fired a rocket from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel, causing damage but no injuries, a military spokesman said.

The rocket exploded in the Niram kibbutz near the city of Sderot and damaged several cars, causing two to catch fire, said the spokesman.

Palestinian militants have fired 40 rockets and mortar rounds since January 18 when Israel ended its 22-day military Gaza offensive which caused 1330 Palestinian deaths.

Israel, which launched its assault on December 27 with the stated aim of stemming rocket attacks, has warned of "the severest riposte" to any further rocket fire.

#6  As long as President Hussein (not the former President of Iraq but the current President of America) continues to bank roll HAMAS, nothing but the Israeli military can stop them any more.

#5  SteveS, Clearing building to building, block by block is costly in lives, political and collateral damage and returns little in real estate value.

Much easier for the Israelies to withdraw and let the Hamas rabble regroup, then crush the clusters again in a second offensive.

#4  You'd think that after their recent ass-kicking, the Paleos would take a few weeks off to kick back, reload, maybe sweep up the rubble. No time to waste, apparently, when there are Jews to kill.
