Rockets continue to strike in south, and return to north

The Hamas has continued its barrage, and Ber Sheva is now facing more danger than before:
(IsraelNN.com) Four long-range Grad rockets slammed into city of Be'er Sheva, the “capital of the Negev” at 7:00 a.m. Friday morning. Residents had about 45 seconds' warning of the attack, thanks to the blaring Color Red siren that wailed through the city and was broadcast over the radio.

Another three rockets hit the city at approximately 10:00 a.m. The rockets hit open areas and did not cause injuries or damage.
But that doesn't meant they couldn't do injury and damage later.

And now, to make matters worse, Katyusha fire from the Hezbollah has returned to the north:
(IsraelNN.com) Katyusha fire has returned to Israel's northern border with Lebanon.

At least four Katyusha rockets hit northwestern Israel, in the area of the coastal city of Nahariya, around 7:35 a.m. Thursday morning. One of the missiles hit the roof of an old age facility in Nahariya.

Later in the morning, at approximately 11:00 a.m., two Katyusha rockets also exploded near the town of Shlomi, a town of approximately 5,100 residents. On July 12, 2006, the town was hit by a barrage of Katyushas fired by Hizbullah terrorists as a diversion while operatives carried out a cross-border raid elsewhere along Israel's northern border. Two IDF reservists, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, were kidnapped during that raid, which ultimately ignited the Second Lebanon War.
They're clearly taking advantage of Hamas' attacks as an opportunity to resume their own.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green

  • 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.
