9-Apr-11: Dozens of high-power rockets, 100+ mortar sheels, fired into Israel since Thursday

Dozens of Grad rockets and some 100 mortar shells have crashed into Israel since Thursday when a school bus was hit by a guided anti-tank missile fired by the Gazan jihadists. Five (says Jpost) of the Grad rockets were intercepted by Israeli Iron Dome rocket defense system batteries stationed near Beersheba and Ashkelon. Haaretz is reporting (Saturday night, right after the end of the Sabbath) that  six Gazan terrorist rockets crashed into Israel this evening (one was intercepted by the Iron Dome system). No injuries were reported, but one landed in the grounds of a community close to the Ashkelon coast, and four others landed in open areas nearby. Some 38 rockets were fired into Israel during the day today.

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.
