| 2008-07-02 |
| Ma'an exclusive - Israeli settlers from the Bracha settlement south of Nablus launched two homemade projectiles at a neighboring Palestinian village on Tuesday afternoon. No injuries have been reported. Palestinian security sources told Ma'an that the Israeli settlers launched two projectiles as a test for the two sorts of projectiles they are producing, the 'Sharon 1' and 'Sharon 2.' Jamal An-Najjar a member of the Palestinian police in the village of Burin told a Ma'an's Nablus correspondent, "settlers launched two homemade projectiles from the settlement of Bracha at the village of Burin, with no injuries reported." An-Najjar added that the projectiles, which were between 15 and 30 centimeters long, landed in open areas just meters from Palestinian houses. |

| #7 I recall from EXODUS Man did you hate that 40 years thing? I thought I was the only one still around from that deal. I kept saying, it's just north of here damnit, let's just walk in a straight line for a change. But nooooooooooooooooo! |

| #6 I recall from EXODUS, that years ago they used a car spring to launch sploding sky mail. With a little practice, you can work out the weight and fuse length to produce some effective shelling. |

| #3 I used to read High Power Rocketry Magazine. They advertized for a hands-on course in solid rocket motor construction, really big motors, not for 30 cm rockets, more like 3 meter rockets. I wonder if the magazine and the course are still around, as I understand that since 9/11, the BATF wants to ban the hobby now. Does Israel have a BATF? |

| #2 Let's hope that the final product has the same quality differential that exists between most things Arab and Israeli. These guys are on the right track; start shooting back immediately and with greater effect and they'll start learning not to poke the hornet's nest. Or they won't, in which case they'll die. BTW, you could make a real good start with throwing the enemy-aiding UN organizations out of your country immediately. Be kind; give them 24 hours. |
