| Not today, but from last week: Israeli home 'visited' by Gaza's terrorist thugs |
Unless you are very determined, and even if you feel very connected to events, it's near impossible to get a meaningful sense of the sheer terror of living within range of the rocket men of Gaza. The thugs of the Hamas-dominated enclave are armed to the teeth with a rocket arsenal that numbers in the tens of thousands... and growing. The sheer volume of the ongoing attacks is mind-numbing, and therefore of so little news value that it's ignored - up until the point when the Gazan Palestinian Arabs get lucky and kill someone. And even then, awareness is minor unless Israel's defensive measures exact innocent lives and the reporters and editors go back into teeth-gnashing mode.
In the past hour, we know of these incoming rockets:
Sha'ar Hanegev at 09:00 am [4 rockets in a single barrage: source]
Sha'ar
Hanegev at 09:20 am
Hof Ashkelon at 09:35 am
Shaar
Hanegev/Sderot at 09:50 am
Sdot Negev at 10:00 am
These
come on top of the terrorist (meaning entirely
indiscriminate) rocket attacks from earlier in the morning. We reported on
those ["29-Oct-12: Wild, turbulent night and not because of a
hurricane"] a
couple of hours ago. And they will surely be followed by more.
What's it like to be at ground zero when one of these rockets is fired at you? Click the image below for a taste.

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.
