Two Qassams hit Israel, in second Gaza rocket attack this week
Gaza militants fired two more Qassams into Israel on Wednesday, defying a moratorium announced by Hamas on cross-border rocket fire for the second time this week.

The rockets struck an open area in the city of Sderot, causing no casualties.

Palestinian militants also fired two Qassams at Israel on Sunday. One rocket exploded in the southern Negev, while the fell short, exploding in the Gaza Strip.

The Israel Defense Forces Sunday identified a rocket fired by Gaza militants as a Russian-made S5K, the type used in battle in Iran and Afghanistan.

The IDF said it was the first time this type of weapon has been fired from the territory.

1. Guess no one's interested in Palestinians attacking Israel.
I've noticed that on DU.

3. Which three are you talking about
The 3 terrorists who were killed after they ambushed a car and murdered the person or the 3 terrorists who were killed trying to plant explosives.

Please clarify, Is defending against terrorists murder only when Israel does it or when anyone does it?


btw you forgot to mention those rockets were only harmless homemade bottlerockets.

4. Hold on. Just coz the IDF kills them and claims they're terrorists doesn't make them so...
If they'd been arrested, tried and convicted, then it'd be much more convincing than the IDF shooting people in cold blood and labelling them terrorists...

btw, interesting to note the IDF only kills Palestinian terrorists and not settlers who are terrorists...

6. It's a bad sign if the IDF is now allowed to do summary executions.
That goes against their traditional policies.
