Palestinian terrorists continued to attack Israeli civilian areas on Wednesday, firing 18 projectiles by late afternoon, including a phosphorous mortar shell that hit the Eshkol region.
In the latest attack, Kassams hit open areas near Ashdod and Ashkelon. Earlier, a rocket fell near a kibbutz in the Sdot Negev region. In the afternoon, two Grad rockets hit the Shfela region, in the central district, while Ashdod, Ashkelon, Sderot and Beersheba were also hit.
Although dozens of Grad-type rockets have plagued the cities during the conflict, defense officials have said that the Islamic group was nearing the end of its supply.

Hamas apologists take note.

Yes. And if there is a ceasefire Hamas very likely will soon resume firing rockets at Israeli civilians.

And of course it will somehow be Israel's fault.

True, some will try to spin it that way.

In the interests of "balance", which apparently is the reason that the BBC's coverage of Israel's terrorism has been so one-sided in favour of mass murderers, we note that 13 Israelis have died since the attack on Gaza began: four of whom were civilians and four of whom were Israeli soldiers killed by their own army. The Israeli army's declared intention is to be "very violent" to ensure minimal casualties for its forces. It is clearly working, at a rate of 90 Palestinians killed for every Israeli death. There haven't been enough injuries reported among Israelis to "balance" against the thousands suffered by the Palestinians, and there has been no damage to Israel's infrastructure to "balance" against the schools, medical centres, mosques, universities, residential homes and refugee facilities destroyed by Israel's bombs.

Good comment.
I do not defend Israel and I blame both sides for the civilian suffering.
War is violent. War is hell. War is killing and destruction. Hamas knew the power Israel has, yet they fired thousands of rockets at Israeli cities. Israel knew there is extreme poverty in Gaza and yet they still close the entry points. Enough blame for both.
In the Gaza civil war Hamas killed Fatah members at a rate of 50 to 1 and took over by force. Who has the power uses it. Fatah learned this against Hamas. Now Hamas is learning it against Israel.
What is needed is today both sides stop killing each other.

The missiles are nothing more than an excuse for Israel to carry out its genocide. Israel killed during the ceasefire and continues to kill and torture residents of Gaza and the West Bank on a daily basis. Rockets back are a sad inevitability of Israel's aggression.

Hamas said they will kill Jewish children worldwide.
Hamas said they deliberately target Israeli cities.
Hamas leaders-so called Gaza defenders- hid in holes like rats while Gaza people died.
The sad part is the stupidity of Hamas caused 6000 Gazan casualties.
