27-Aug-12: Rocket fire on Sderot this morning

Though rocket fire on southern Israel is an almost daily matter (unknown to the vast majority of people), there's extra nervousness in the region this week. That's because more than two million Israeli children ended their summer holidays [background] and are back in class this morning. And based on the performance of years gone by, the sadistic terrorists of Hamas-controlled Gaza see special significance in attacks on Israeli schools and school-buses.

A little after 8 this morning, the city of Sderot - which suffered a triple-rocket attack yesterday morning - came under rocket attack again. The details are not yet known, but we know the Tzeva Adom missile warning system began sounding throughout the area about twenty minutes ago, at about 8:20 Monday morning. More details when they come in.
