Terrorists in Hamas-controlled Gaza escalated rocket fire Wednesday morning and fired what apparently was a Grad missile that flew over Ashkelon and exploded near Ashdod. No one was injured and no damage was reported.
A Kassam rocket and at least three more mortars exploded in the Eshkol region south of Ashkelon in the second round of attacks in several hours, bringing to 10 the total number of rocket and mortar fire. An Eshkol regional council official said mass media mistakenly call the locations of rocket explosions “open areas.”
“These are farm areas and are not in the middle of the desert. People work there. The mortars and rockets fall near them,” he told Voice of Israel government radio. Several agriculture workers have been killed or wounded in previous attacks.
The Israeli Air Force bombed targets in Gaza, killing at least one terrorist after the massive missile and mortar barrage on southern Israel Wednesday morning.
At least 10 explosions rocked the area from the western Negev to an area between the port cities of Ashkelon and Ashdod. A major electricity generating station and oil and gas pipelines are located in Ashkelon. Ashdod is home to dozens of oil refineries.
Arab sources said one terrorist was killed in an attack at Rafiah, a city the straddles the border between Gaza and Egypt and which is a prime source of smuggling tunnels. The IDF aerial attack came hours before Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at his official residence in Jerusalem.

Israel--- don't give up any more land and stop talking to these whack jobs who can't even make peace between THEMSELVES, much less with anyone else. They live to fight and argue...it doesn't matter with who...whatever concessions Israel makes, it will NEVER be good enough, so just amssively retliate every time a rocket lands....they will either get tired of the response, or all be killed....I'm good with whichever one comes first....
Hamas was created and funded by Mossad. Learn the truth folks.
10:20 --- I imagine when China finally gets a blue water navy and starts flexing THEIR muscle, you will blame Israel for THAT, too.
