#1 Sorry about that. Mouse button must have bounced or something.

#2 ... Committees spokesman warned his organization transported missile technology from Gaza to the West Bank and is planning to fire rockets and mortars at Jewish homes in the West Bank, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Welcome to the ultimate no-win scenario for Israel. Imagine what would result if an off-course Qassam rocket slammed into the al Aqsa mosque.

[patiently waits for applause to die down ...]

But seriously folks, with this development Israel is almost better off lobbing a confiscated Qassam rocket into the al Aqsa mosque, than waiting around for the Wailing Wall or the Church of the Nativity to be hit (or any other of myriad historical sites).

Given the reckless launching by Hamas, Islamic Jihad et al, it is literally only a matter of time before these maroons topple their own third-most holy site in all Islam.

I'd really enjoy reading what others here at Rantburg have to contribute regarding this development. It is common knowledge that Qassam targeting is about as accurate as MSM reporting on Iraq. This represents a new level of idiocy by the terrorists and apart from a clear demonstration of how stupid firing at Jerusalem based targets is, I see little other than a no-win disaster for Israel. What alternatives are there?

#3 True, if born a Neanderthal, it's difficult to die a rocket scientist, however, in time, they will gain some measure of precision. Best to kill them now.

#4 Best to kill them now.

Well, yes, there's always the tried and true method.

#5 It's doubtful that a SCUD could level the al Aqsa mosque, and a Qassam is no SCUD.

It should be pointed out that the Qassam targeting system is strictly Islamic: Wherever it hits is where Allah wanted it to fall.

#6 the extermination of the Paleos will be caused by their inability to understand power, society, and death cults. They've scratched all positive marks from their side

#7 It's doubtful that a SCUD could level the al Aqsa mosque, and a Qassam is no SCUD.

Good point, Ptah. Still, the point remains that any sort of hit upon al Aqsa will be (rightly or wrongly) attributed to Israel. I'm just curious if they have some way of short-circuiting this. Aside from the aforementioned policy of simple extermination, that is.

#8 how about "any attack on Jerusalem proper is assumed to land on Al-Aqsa and the demolition willl complete your task. Thankyouverymuch"

#9 So this sort of thing is happening right under Mazen's nose, eh?

Yeah, he's doing something about Paleo terrorism all right. Nothing.

#10 Actually, by finking on Iran and giving Israel launch site coordinates, it would seem as though Abbas is trying his best at some sort of "deep game." The most likely result will be him getting offed by the terrorists. If he's not out capping them himself, they'll be sighting on him. Nothing to see, folks, move aong.

#11 I see his hand at it, Zen, but if the IJ was gone, would he do the same? Hamas? anyone but his faction?
