JPost reports that the incoming count of terrorist rockets and mortars so far this morning (as of about 09:00 Wednesday) is 50 [
Haaretz counts 52 so far], and 67 since yesterday evening. 22 have crashed into the
Eshkol region; 21 have landed in the
Lachish region. The
Iron Dome anti-missile system has intercepted seven rockets so far, according to an IDF spokesman.
Times of Israel says all seven were directed at rockets that appeared to be on a trajectory pointing to the city of Ashkelon - thus
averting far larger damage and injury outcomes. Seven Israeli homes have taken hits so far this morning [

The IDF Home Front command has instructed residents living within 10 km of Gaza to remain indoors this morning and to take shelter. Southern municipalities have canceled schools amid the ongoing escalation, while Israel Police have heightened patrols around Gaza in the south, placing bomb sappers in the area to deal with the heightened threat.

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.
