Fire in Sderot after a qassam rocket hits town

Shuli Katz 70 from Kibbutz Gvaraam mother of 4 was killed yesterday from a qassam rocket fired from Hamas controlled Gaza strip, Shuli is the 13th Israeli qassam victim since the firing started in  2001.

Only on friday Jamey Kdoshim 48 father of 3 was killed in his Kibbutz Kfar azza while working in his garden, Kdoshim was hit by a120mm mortar  round manufactured in Iran and smuggeld from Egypt to the Gaza strip.

These latest fatal attacks come while Israel`s preparing for President Bush`s visit tommorow morning and talks with Hamas via Egypt are making some progress, Hamas keeps firing to let Israel know that the problem they have with Gaza is still there and George Bushes visit isn`t going to make it any better.

Israel`s offering Hamas to stop all military attacks in the Gaza strip open the Raffah crossing if Hamas will seize all qassam rocket attacks and mortars on Israel and will stop attacks they carry out through tunnels from the Gaza strip.

It looks like it could work this time at least for a few months but the Gilad Shalit issue is still a big obstacle and Hamas isn`t going to release him even to Egyptian hands as Israel sujested.
