Terrorism

Terrorists score - drive Jewish children from school

Gaza's Palestinian Arabs, who have been relentlessly - and mostly with impunity - raining rockets down on southern Israel, scored another victory Monday when they succeeded in terrorizing parents of Sderot students into pulling their children out of school.

Seven Kassams slammed into the Negev town in the morning in what the Palestine Islamic Jihad terrorist organization described as "a present for the start of the new school year" that began Sunday.

The PIJ said it had fired fully nine "Kuds-3" rockets at Sderot.

Some missiles scored direct hits: one pulverizing a road in the town, another blowing a hole in a house adjacent to a day care center, according to reports.

Soldiers and civilian staff had just rushed to evacuate 15 babies from the center when the rocket struck next door.

Emergency workers reported that no one was wounded, but a number of adults and children had to be treated for shock.

According to The Jerusalem Post parents in the beleaguered town, many of whom are already furious with the Olmert government for its pathetic responses to the Kassam terrorism, vowed to remove their children from school.

They will not allow them to return to classes, they said, until the government makes a real effort to safeguard their lives.
