From the coastal city of
Ashdod (Israel's sixth-largest with a population of 210,000) there are reports in the last few minutes - around 6:00 am Tuesday morning - of two explosions from incoming rockets, but according to one eye witness no
Tzeva Adom warning ahead of time. (If you don't know the sound, it's worth hearing just once -

and hear a brief video.)
We are checking now in the hope of being able to report that once again there are
no casualties and
no serious damage. Meanwhile the two Israel/Gaza border crossings - Erez and Kerem Shalom - are said to be re-opening this morning [
Ynet] because of the "lull".

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.
