Iron Dome Intercepts Rockets Fired Towards Ashkelon From Gaza
2014-06-17
[Ynet] An Iron Dome missile defense battery intercepted two rockets fired towards Ashkelon from Gazoo. Fragments of the rockets fell across the city. There were no reports of injuries or material damages.
The hope that Israel's attention is too-firmly fixed on the hunt for kidnapped schoolboys, perhaps? Or simply the need to show the Palestinians and the world that despite giving up official control of the Gaza Strip to the PLO, Hamas is still committing jihad against the juices? Or, possibly, because they've got plenty of flying explosive things, and it just feels so good to shoot them off? In susceptible people that feeling becomes addictive, 'tis said.

#1  More likely to force Hamas into taking a harder stance in the so-called unified government, a la Hizb'allah.
