Rocket from Gaza damages Israeli warehouse

Gaza-based "Palestinian" terrorists on Saturday succeeded in striking a warehouse in the southern Israel town of Sderot with one of their locally-produced Kassam rockets.

Fortunately, the attack took place on the Sabbath, and therefore the warehouse was empty at the time.

Concern was expressed over the fact that the rocket failed to trigger Sderot's early warning sirens. Had the rocket struck on a work day, the warehouse's employees would have had no advance warning, likely resulting in a mass casualty incident.

Despite having agreed to a truce in and around Gaza last November, the "Palestinians" have fired some 200 rockets into southern Israel in recent months.

PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas, who was hailed internationally for brokering the ceasefire, has done nothing tangible to halt the attacks.

Israeli defense officials continue to recommend that Jerusalem unleash the IDF against the Gaza terrorist infrastructure before it manages to achieve the same level of strength and coordination as Lebanon's Hizb'allah.
