24-Aug-11: Ashkelon area - incoming rocket fire again

It's a little after 7 pm here in Israel and the authorities here have issued a warning to residents of communities in the south and within range of the jihadists of Gaza to find shelter and stay there.  A rocket crashed into the general area of Ashkelon in the last few minutes, and there is evidently concern about more of the same. The Ashkelon Breeze festival, set for tonight, has just been cancelled.

UPDATE Wednesday 19:35 Reports from all across southern Israel of incoming rockets. Waiting for confirmation.

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.
