Late this evening, Islamic Jihad claims credit for yet another Qassam missile fired into Israel, the first in some 36 hours. This missile reaches Ashkelon, landing in the grounds of what is described as "a sensitive strategic facility", though it causes neither damage nor injuries. (This expression probably means the huge electricity power station located in Ashkelon, responsible for providing power to the entire country.)
It's largely pot luck when the Gazan thugs fire off their bombs; their hearts' desire is to cause civilian injuries and mayhem, the more the better - and frequently they succeed. But just about as frequently (like this morning, when several Qassams were detected being fired off from Gaza, but never reached Israeli territory), they manage to hit only their own Gazan territory and damage the property and bodies of their own fellow Gazans.
This does not cause any noticeable consternation to the foreign media, from which it follows that there is no reason why the thugs themselves ought to be concerned by it. After several generations of living in a country-sized garbage pile of their own making, the value of life to the citizens and the kleptocrats of Gaza is very, very low. It's unreasonable and unrealistic to expect painful compromises for peace from people who have so very little to protect and defend. And whose "leadership" is so utterly unconcerned with their welfare.
POSTSCRIPT: Just to illustrate the point we made about damaging their own people, it's reported that two additional Qassams are detected this evening by Israeli intelligence exploding before the Gazan thugs manage to actually fire them off. Under different circumstances, it might be possible to laugh at the Qeystone Qops antics of these jackasses, if only these Qassams were not so deadly.
