11-Jun-06: It's raining missiles

Sunday morning, 10am, and the missiles keep crashing down on Israel with barely a word of reportage from the mainstream media. 

A man is critically injured when shrapnel from a Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip lands near the Sapir Academic College of the Negev, Sderot. More than 30 such missiles have landed this weekend, 9 this morning so far. The injured man is a maintenance worker at the school. He is in surgery now - the hospital says his life is in danger. 

Hamas takes open responsibility for the rocket attacks, declaring it will continue "until residents of Sderot evacuated the town in fear". 

UPDATE: Missiles fired into Israel this morning: 14.

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.
