| [IsraelTimes] Israel readies for escalation after Khader Adnan found dead; 3 projectiles fired from Gazoo, no injuries; Islamic Jihad says his death is ’lesson for generations’ A least three rockets were fired from Gaza on Tuesday morning as Israel readied for a potential escalation after a big shot of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror group died in Israeli custody after an 86-day hunger strike. The Israel Defense Forces said the projectiles triggered sirens in the area around Kibbutz Sa’ad, and landed in open areas. No Iron Dome interceptor rockets were fired and there were no reports of injuries or damage. Khader Adnan was found unresponsive in his cell in Nitzan Prison in the central city of Ramle in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday morning. He was brought to the Shamir Medical Center outside Tel Aviv and underwent resuscitation efforts, but was declared dead at the hospital, the Prisons Service said. |

| #6 Both are descendants of Abraham and should live in brotherly existence. Same father, different mothers. And Ishmael never accepted that though he was the first born, because his mother was a mere concubine Isaac was the heir. |

| #5 #3: if sharon could give Gaza away then Netanyahu could take it back. Impose Israeli law and take out the troublemakers. IMO most of the population would welcome non-hamas supervision. Both are descendants of Abraham and should live in brotherly existence. Gaza and the west-bank are Israeli. |

| #4 Honestly, Israel should put these guys in crow cages , lined with explosives and give them a dead man switch to hold. Also if the door opens it should go boom. Put the cages along the border, let them feed and care for them until they forget to hold that switch and get their 72 white raisins. |

| #3 I know it is wishful thinking, but every time Israel suffers a barrage from Gaza it should make use of its many earthmovers and push the Gaza boundary inward one kilometer. If the barrages continued, sooner than later the rats would suffer claustrophobia and begin biting off their tails. |

| #1 An Israeli security source said Adnan "Was not a senior [member], not a leader, [and was not serving] a life sentence." Well, actually it was a life sentence |
