9-Jul-12: Inbound Gazan rockets yet again

Dover Zahal, which is what Hebrew speakers call the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, is reporting that the terrorists of the Gaza Strip fired a Qassam rocket into Israel around 4:00 this afternoon (Monday) - we saw a report of it as well in one of the Hebrew forums as well as on the Mivzak Live news site. It crashed into the Eshkol region of southern Israel and exploded without, it appears, causing damage to humans or to property. 

Another attack came about an hour earlier, this time in the form of an anti-tank missile fired by parties unknown on the Gazan side of the fence in the direction of Israeli agricultural workers in the vicinity of Yad Mordechai Junction. No reports of injuries or serious property damage.

In the last hour, around 7:30 this evening, the Tzeva Adom incoming missile warning system issued its terrifying wail to the thousands of Israeli residents of the Hof Ashkelon region. At this stage, we don't know the outcome.

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.
