28-Aug-11: Another Gazan GRAD rocket seeks Beer Sheba victims

It's Sunday morning and in the Middle East, that's the start of the working week. And the jihad-minded terrorists of Gaza are indeed at work. At about 7:15 this morning, a GRAD-class rocket (range about 40 km, probably made in China and supplied by Iran) was fired in the general direction of the Israeli city of Beer Sheba (population about 200,000). Though Ynet reports it was intercepted by an Iron Dome anti-missile missile, we are aware of another report (in Hebrew) saying the GRAD in fact landed harmlessly in open land on the edge of the city without causing damage or injury. JPost, correcting an earlier report, now also says it crashed outside the city limits.

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.
