Tragically Predictable

bs”d

As is their habit, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have launched a new wave of increased Qassam missile attacks to coincide with the arrival in Israel tomorrow of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.  It has become predictable that more rockets fly every time Secretary Rice is coming to Israel.  Hamas is determined to send her a message.

A heavy barrage of 7 Qassam missiles struck Sderot last night night, March 26. One exploded in the old market, injuring three people and leaving 16 in shock.

Of the 16 missiles fired during the day, one landed south of Ashkelon, several exploded in kibbutzim causing heavy damage to property.  Israeli military sources report that Hamas is providing missiles to Islamic Jihad in order to step up the attacks on Israel, without being held solely accountable and drawing Israeli fire.
