Israel files complaint to UN over rocket attacks from Gaza

[oberliner]

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations Meron Reuben has submitted a complaint to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and the UN Security Council over Tuesday's Qassam rocket attack in which a teenage girl was lightly wounded in the Ashkelon area, Army Radio reported on Wednesday.

Reuben said that Israel held the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip responsible for the rocket fire and he called on the international community to send a "clear and resolute" message that such rocket attacks were unacceptable.

On Tuesday morning, a Qassam rocket fired from Gaza exploded in an open field near a kindergarten in the Ashkelon area and a teenage girl was lightly wounded in a nearby building.

Some 13 rockets fired from Gaza have struck Israel over the last several days.

1. Seems like...

...the Israelis are on a diplomatic offensive. They have filed quite a few of these complaints lately. So when it is time to bomb Hamas the next time and the UN start whining about it the Israeli goverment can hold up a long list of complaints to the UN that resulted in nothing.

2. Actually they file complaints at every strike and have done so for years

We can all see the difference it makes
