No official report anywhere yet as far as we can see, but eyewitness reports from southern Israel [
Hebrew source] say the
Tzeva Adom incoming missile alert woke thousands of families in the Sha'ar Henegev region around 4 this Sabbath morning, causing the usual range of feelings (terror, fear, anger, bewilderment). One resident reports that he heard three landings - perhaps Qassam rockets, perhaps GRADs, perhaps mortars. We will keep checking this evening (Saturday night in Jerusalem) to see if we can find some official corroboration.
It's a disturbing trend: lately, most incoming rockets are treated by news editors, including Israeli, as not rising to the level of newsworthy. It seems people have to be injured physically or worse before the outside world is entitled to be informed. This is not the way to respond to terror.

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.
