15-Feb-12: Southern Israel: Rocket attack tonight

A Gazan rocket was flung into southern Israel in the past hour, crashing and exploding somewhere in the Eshkol region. A posting on the Rotter forum (Hebrew) reported that the Color Red alarm could be heard throughout the area at about 7:10 this evening. Another said it fell into open fields. Ynet reports that so far there are no indications of injuries or damage.

The terrorists have fired thousands of such rockets at Israeli homes, buses, kindergartens, schools, shopping malls, cars, synagogues, farm sheds, factories, pedestrians. They never aim to hit open fields. Anything that is struck, damaged or injured is a victory. They don't care. This is why they are terrorists. This is why everything that can be done to stop them is legitimate and essential if innocent and productive lives (ours) are to be protected.

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.
