Terrorists attack Ashkelon and an army base

In latest news of terrorist attacks, the Hamas attacked an army base with more Kassam rockets, and Ashkelon was hit three times this week with missiles:
Israeli troops shot and killed three suspected Palestinian terrorists, including the local leader of a small radical faction, during an arrest raid Thursday in the Samarian city of Nablus, witnesses and the military said.

Hours later, militants in the Gaza Strip launched a homemade rocket into an Israeli military base, slightly wounding five soldiers, the army said.

Soldiers entered Nablus early Thursday in pursuit of wanted men, and opened fire on a four-story building where terrorists were holed up, the military said. One wanted man and two other terrorists were shot as they tried to escape, it added.

Witnesses identified one of the dead men as Bashar Khanani, the Nablus leader of the small Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

The other two were Anas Al-Sheikh and Ahmed Jiyousi, both members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, a militant faction linked to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' ruling Fatah party.

[...]

Terrorists in Gaza often fire the homemade rockets at Israeli towns, and this week, they hit the Ashkelon area three times.

Since Israel pulled out of the Gaza Strip this summer, the terrorists have been able to launch their rockets from farther north in Gaza, where Israeli settlements once stood, making Ashkelon easier to reach.
And even Shaul Mofaz doesn't seem to be making really convincing efforts as a defense minister to defend the population, does he?

  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
