21-Oct-15: Rocket alert in Israel's south

Wednesday at about 6:53 pm, an incoming enemy rocket alert (Color Red or Tzeva Adom) was heard in parts of Israel's south. Areas affected at this moment are Sdot Negev and Shaar Hanegev. Israel National News says the sirens were also heard in the vicinity of Kibbutz Sa'ad and Kfar Aza.

An initial report via the Hebrew news site Walla says a rocket exploded on the Israeli side of the border fence separating Israel from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. No reports of injuries or property damage at this stage. This of course was not what the terrorists (people who fire rockets entirely indiscriminately in the general direction of their foe's territory) intended. We were blessed again with good fortune in this benign outcome.

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.
