Today being 11th September, there are events of various kinds taking place all over the world to remember the iconic acts of hatred and destruction from eight years ago that forever changed the way Americans think about terrorism.
Here in Israel, we've been given yet another in a long, long series of reminders that this ongoing war of terror is serious, destructive and very dangerous.
Haaretz reports in the past twenty minutes that three Lebanese Katyusha rockets have struck northern Israel. They landed in open fields near Nahariya. Very fortunately, and uncharacteristically, there are no reports of casualties.
Haaretz says: "The rockets were fired from southern Lebanon and Israel Radio has reported that the Israel Defense Forces have launched retaliatory artillery into southern Lebanon. A resident of a northern Kibbutz told Haaretz of the rockets "it was very surprising. We suddenly heard a boom. We are very happy no one was hurt."
Israel's Channel 10 has just reported that an electric tower was struck by one of the rockets.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
