The rocket teams in terrorist-infested Gaza fired yet another Qassam rocket into southern Israel this afternoon (Wednesday) around 3:45 pm. It crashed and exploded in agricultural fields in the Hof Ashkelon region. No injuries or serious damage are reported at this stage [Times of Israel], which is not what the terrorists intended. [But note that Israel National News says agricultural greenhouses were hit and damaged.] The Gazans will certainly be trying again, and will certainly seek to inflict greater damage than today's effort delivered to them.
Around 70 Gazan rockets have been fired indiscriminately into Israel since the start of October, considerably more than in September. By INN's count, the rate of such firings has averaged two per day, seven days a week, since the start of 2012. Why is a bombardment rate of such intensity not called 'war' by those reporting on it?

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.
