Israel responds to barrage of kassam rocket attacks

Israel, over the last 24 hours, has been carefully targeting Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Approximately two hundred Hamas terrorists have been killed. Hamas broke a ceasefire and began launching kassams only a few hours before Israel was to ship additional materials to Gaza maintain the ceasefire. Ironically, even some Egyptian officials have recognized that the Hamas government which the Palestinians elected in Gaza is responsible for this conflict.

Thousands of Israeli civilians in Sderot have had their lives destroyed over the past years. This is a humanitarian crisis that receives no attention despite the perpetual and unwarranted rocket attacks from Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups.



The Israeli military response to an incessant barrage of rockets into Sderot and Ashkelon is absolutely necessary. If someone lived in San Diego, for example, and Mexico launched kassam rockets daily over their heads, this would be totally unacceptable. The situation here is no different.

Sderot is part of Israel and is recognized as a part of Israel. It isn't disputed territory. Yet Palestinians have committed despicable crimes and impeded peace by continuously bombarding the area with kassam rockets. In one instance this year Islamic Jihad even hit a kindergarten in Sderot and called it a "present for the start of new school year." That is depravity of the worst sort. The world media, unfortunately, chooses to neglect to mention these facts in their reporting.
