Islamic Jihad Movement fires three missiles at Israeli-occupied city
2006-04-02
Three rockets were fired at the Israeli-occupied Majdal city on Saturday, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad announced today. A statement by the Al Quds brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement said one of its groups fired three rockets "Al-Quds-3" at Majdal city, occupied by Israeli in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.

The firing was filmed and would be circulated on the mass media, the statement said, noting that the attacking groups returned safely to base. Israel acknowledged that missiles have slammed in the city, the statement said, noting that the attack was in retaliation for the Israeli assassination of Abdelkarim Goga, a commander of the movement's Popular Resistance Committees in Gaza yesterday.

#8  But some will.

Not here. Except for certain species of trolls, but they were off track before they arrived.

#7  'Are you one of our Israeli correspondents?'

Not yet :-) I'm a JPost junkie myself, though Arutz Sheva is pretty good, too.

#6  'We are not in the least taken in by the propaganda.'

You might not be, and many readers may not be. But some will. It is bad enough that Yesha was termed 'occupied', but Ashkelon is as Israeli as Tel Aviv.

#4  I post quite a bit from Kuwaiti News Service. I use them more for the diplo news, since they faithfully report every meeting between Arab foreign ministers, cables of condolences or congratulations sent by or to the Kuwaiti ruling family, important pronouncements of the Arab League, speeches by Arabian potentates. I know more about the daily doings of the dish towel and fan belt set than I do about our own Congresscritters. All thanks to KUNA.

#3  Welcome, indeed, Colt. Are you one of our Israeli correspondents? While I didn't realize that Majdal=Ashkelon, I read anything labelled "occupied" as being properly Israeli, since the Arab/Muslim press labels any part of the Jewish State as such. We post counterbalancing articles from the Israeli press, too, and we've got a couple of Rantburgers who are serious JPost junkies.

#2  ItÂ’s OK Colt. ItÂ’s an insistence on knowing what the other side is spewing as information and spin. We are not in the least taken in by the propaganda. Please do read on to other articles and posts for further reassurance. You will find the same “local media” reportages (and scathing deconstructions, not to mention the comments) that we need to keep an eye on the spew. Welcome and take a tour ;)

#1  Why do you guys insist on quoting Arab propaganda? 'Majdal' is Ashkelon, and if it is 'occupied', then all of Israel is 'occupied'. There are plenty of sources reporting terrorist attacks on Israel that don't negate Israel's existance.
