| Israel: Projectile hits Ashkelon |
| 2011-01-12 |
| (Ma'an) -- Militants in Gazoo on Tuesday launched a projectile into southern Israel, the Israeli military said. The projectile landed in Ashkelon Shore Regional Council but caused no damage or injuries, an Israeli military spokeswoman said. On Sunday night, Israeli warplanes dropped missiles on sites in the northern and southern Gazoo Strip. The army said the strikes were in response to "intense rocket fire in the past 72 hours." Right-wing Israeli ministers have called on the government to respond to projectile fire with tough military action. On Tuesday, Israeli forces carried out a targeted liquidation near Khan Younis in the southern Gazoo Strip. The military said 25-year-old Muhammad An-Najjar was planning a "massive terror attack" inside Israel. The Gazoo government on Tuesday urged factions operating in the Strip to comply with "what has been agreed on," in an apparent attempt to enforce the unofficial ceasefire. Spokesman for the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-led government Taher An-Nunu said talks were ongoing on a local and international level to avoid another Israeli war on the besieged coastal enclave. Israel's last full-scale offensive, Operation Cast Lead, claimed the lives of around 1,400 Paleostinians, most of whom were civilians. Israel said the war was in response to rocket and mortar fire from the Strip into southern Israel. |

| #1 Oh goodness, here we go again with the editing or translation. On Sunday night, Israeli warplanes dropped missiles on sites in the northern and southern Gazoo Strip. Dropped? Seriously, dropped? Did someone stub their toe? And see the article's illustration as well. I'll give them some leeway here on the scale and distance, but it sure looks like rockets powered by Estes. |
