Palestinians in north Gaza fired a Qassam rocket toward Israel Thursday evening. Police sources said the rocket apparently landed in an open field near the western Negev city of Sderot; no injuries or damage were reported in the incident. The Red Dawn alert system failed to identify the rocket launching, but residents said the blast was heard load and clear.
Each of these rocket attacks is an act of war. That they have become a daily event in the lives of Israelis living in towns that have never been in dispute, have never been "occupied" only makes the situation more unacceptable, more absurd.

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.
