 (AKI) - Israeli settlers living in the West Bank fired a homemade Qassam rocket at a Palestinian village, reported Israeli daily Maariv on Friday.
| I can't understand why they don't do that everytime some piece of Paleojunk falls from the sky. |
The newspaper claims that two weeks ago a student from a religious school or 'yeshiva' made a Qassam rocket and launched it near a Palestinian village, landing in an open area.
| That's what the Paleos usually hit, too. |
As the truce between Israel and Hamas entered its second day, the newspaper published images of Israeli settlers from the Yitzhar settlement located near the largest Palestinian city, Nablus, standing next to six Qassam rockets in a launching position.
| They'll prob'ly take that to the UN. They hate it when Jews fight back. |
The truce is valid only in the Gaza Strip, but Egyptian mediators are working to extend the truce to the West Bank.
| Better hurry before they launch again. |
Before firing the rocket, a group of settlers told the residents of Yitzhar that they were carrying out an experiment and not to worry if they heard an explosion. After being launched, the report said loud noise attracted Israeli troops nearby who thought the settlers had been attacked. The school's headmaster and the student have reportedly been arrested and were being questioned by Israeli authorities. |
