14-Dec-07: The ongoing rocket attacks - an overview



"For the Palestinian terrorist organizations, rockets and mortars serve as an asymmetric response to Israel 's military superiority. They are simple, available and cheap."
From a new study published today by Israel's Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center. The chart above, documenting Qassam attacks on the Israeli communities bordering the Gaza Strip, is from the study too. Click to read the whole depressing report. And note the impact on the rate of rocket firings of the abandonment of the Israeli communities inside the Gaza Strip in 2005.

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.
