6-Jul-06: Firing into Ashkelon again

No strategic goal; no military objective; no sense. Simply firing missiles into civilian areas because they can, irrespective of what damage this will do to their own population and resources, the suits of the Hamas regime continue to drag the Palestinian Arabs into the moral depths while waging their war of terror on Israel.
For second time in 24 hours, Qassam hits neighborhood in southern [Ashkelon]; eight people treated for shock, including four children. Hundreds gather in area. Earlier, mayor meets with city council members to discuss rocket fire... Simultaneously, another rocket hit grove in the Kibbutz Zikim area, causing a fire. IDF officials said that the Qassam rocket launched Wednesday night landed roughly 12 kilometers from its launch site. The rocket was a dual-engined rocket, and was launched from northern Gaza, slightly south of the evacuated settlement of Dugit. A second Qassam rocket in 24 hours landed Wednesday evening at a street in the Shimshon neighborhood in south Ashkelon. Eight people suffered from shock and were evacuated to the Barzilay Medical Center in the city, including four children.
That's what Yediot says late Wednesday night. We'll file an update in the morning.
