A beautiful autumnal Saturday has just ended - mild weather, a light breeze, clear skies. And more rockets fired into Israel by the jihadists of the Gaza Strip. This morning's attack exploded in a field in the Sdot Negev area, near the border with the Hamas-controlled territory, according to Ynet. No one was injured, but the jihadists intend to spread terror and fear and see injuries and damage as a highly desirable but non-essential side-benefit. Around 180 rockets and mortar shells have been fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip so far since the start of 2010, an IDF spokesperson said in a briefing today.
Israeli air force planes carried out two strikes tonight (Saturday night) on targets in southern Gaza. Strike number one was near Khan Younis; the second was aimed at smuggling tunnels in Rafah, near the Gazan/Egyptian border. AFP, quoting Hamas, says a Palestinian who was in his house during the second attack was injured by shattering glass.

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.
