There seems to be a serious rift between Hams group in Syria and the Hamas military in Gaza. Gaza did not according to reports want to ignite a war with Israel at this time but Syrian contingent gave the green light.

Palestinian militants fired at least four Qassam rockets from the Gaza Strip into the western Negev on Sunday, with one landing in between two kindergartens.

Three rockets struck the Eshkol region, two of them landing in open fields and the third close to the kindergartens. A fourth rocket struck an open field in the Sdot Negev Regional Council area. No casualties or damage were reported in any of the strikes.

On Saturday morning one Grad rocket struck south of Ashkelon after a Color Red alert sounded in the city.

Haniya needs to end this soon or there will be another large scale Israeli attack on Gaza.

Israel will strike back soon they have just warned Rafah residents to leave homes near the tuunels to Egypt, and two Israeli soldiers where injured by 5 mortars fired from Gaza so i guess those bloody Hamas terorists have learnd nothing by provoking Israel they will get hit back painfully.

Hamas is insane. They think they can provoke a war, put women and children in harms way and when they're killed they plaster their pictures in the media . They think the outcry from Europe & the UN will be so great that Israel will somehow disappear.

What they've managed to do is harden Israeli attitutes toward them and if Netenyahu is elected PM the Palestinians ain't seen nothin' yet.

The Gazans can thank Hamas for this.

Seems like some in the global community will not be happy until one of those rockets actually lands on a kindergarten instead of nearby. I, for one, hope it does not happen.

But Hamas and their misguided followers are continuing their devilish plans, they obviously do not care who gets hurt in reprisal, in fact, they probably hope many of their people do.
