Massive Qassam blitz on Netivot and Sderot as Israel offensive continues

17 Palestinian missiles struck Israeli towns yesterday and today in spite of the Israeli anti-missile campaign in the Gaza Strip.

In Sderot, three people were hospitalized with shrapnel wounds from 6 explosions. The town of Netivot had its first hit when a qassam missile landed on open ground near the a Jewish shrine at the tomb of the Jewish kabbalist sage Baba Sali. Buildings were also damaged at Kibbutz Saad, and exploding missiles landed outside Kfarm Maimon, Gan Hahamisha and Shuba.










Guess what...you won't hear ANYTHING about this in the Main Stream media. Imagine what the coverage would be if the Israelis took out a mosque!


Think I'm exaggerating? Check out the kind of biased, one-sided swill that is passing for serious , factual journalism
these days...




The tzahal,using armor and infantry with air cover continue to advance around the northern outskirts of Beit Lahiya, a missile-launching center, with the focus on al-Atatra, which is where firefights erupted yesterday. An Israeli air strike killed 7 wanna be Qassam missile launchers this morning.

Earlier, An IAF helicopter hit two gunmen in Al-Atatra in northern Gaza on Friday afternoon, killing both. The strike came after the two had fired a missile at IDF forces.

In Samaria (the northern part of the West Bank) the IDF settled the score with another senior jihadi, Tamar Kandil of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades who was involved in several attempts to send suicide bombers into Israel, as well as several shooting attacks in the area. They caught up with him in the Askar refugee camp near Nablus.

When the IDF attempted to bring him in alive, shots were fired from the house, and IDF soldiers opened fire in response, killing Kandil.

Good.

My sources tell me that the next objective for the IDF will be to cross through Kissufim further south and cut off Khan Younis from the north as preperation for the next part of its offensive in the central Gaza Strip.
