Palestinian Arabs doing what they do best. From Palestinian Rockets Hit Israel, Breaking Hamas Truce: Three Kassam rockets fired from Gaza on Tuesday struck the Israeli town of Sderot and its environs, constituting the first serious breach of a truce between Israel and Hamas, the Islamic group that controls Gaza. Mark Regev, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, said the rocket fire from Gaza had been “a grave violation of the calm” that came into effect last Thursday.

The residents of Sderot, represented by Attorney Nitsana Darshan- Leitner, director of Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center (http://www.israellawcenter.org), have dispatched a series of letters to Israeli government, parliamentary, military and legal officials calling upon Israel to stop supplying petroleum to the Hamas-led Gaza Strip. The residents allege in their letters that Hamas siphons off more than half of the gasoline supplied from Israel for use in terror related activities including the daily Kassam rocket attacks, the incessant shootings at the farmers in the field, as well as the murderous attack last week on the Nachal Oz gasoline depot in which

Sadly, indeed embarrassingly, the children are those of S’derot, an Israeli town of 19,000 near the border with Gaza that has been under a missile barrage since the Israeli retreat from Gaza in September 2005, with thousands of missiles to date. These have been

Muslims are relentless killers, mostly because Islam, at its core, is lethally militaristic and institutionalizes homicide. Yet again, two Jews were lightly wounded and nine others suffered from shock after Muslim terror groups in northern Gaza launched a barrage of eight Qassam rockets towards Israel late Wednesday evening. Two of the rockets landed in the town of Sderot, causing structural damage near the town’s commercial center. Security forces have yet to confirm where the remaining rockets crashed. The military wings of the Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committee’s – the al-Quds Brigades and the Salah a-Din Brigades – claimed

Even after the death of Arafat in November 2004, Kassam rocket fire from Gaza continued under the regime of Mahmoud Abbas. True, Abbas called on Palestinians to stop firing rockets into Israel in 2006, but on the ground, he and the Fatah leadership were either unwilling or unable to halt the Hamas attacks as they increased. After Israel’s disengagement from Gaza, the number of confirmed rocket strikes against Israel increased by more than 500 percent.
