Overnight, starting around 2:00 am, there has been heavy rocket fire into the communities of southern Israel from the armaments-rich terrorist forces of the Gaza Strip. A
Times of Israel report says
no fewer than five incoming rockets that were headed at the coastal city of
Ashkelon (population: 120,000) were
intercepted in mid-air and brought down by means of the advanced technology of the
Iron Dome counter-missile defense system.
Three more rockets crashed into open areas in the Ashkelon area without (as far as is currently known) doing damage, other than terrifying the civilian residents. Soon after, there were reports of Israeli Air Force airstrikes on four Gaza sites, described by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit as a hidden rocket launcher, a weapons storage site and a weapons manufacturing facility. Direct hits on all targets are claimed.

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.
