Islamic Jihad - Our rockets will fall like rain

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group lost one of its top commanders to an IDF operation Tuesday, and vowed it would avenge his death by raining rockets down on Jewish towns.

Jihad Nawhda was reportedly shot and wounded after trying to evade arrest at an Internet cafe in the northern Samarian town of Jenin. He died while being evacuated to hospital.

Nawhda's fellow terrorists messaged cadres of the group in Gaza who launched four Kassam rockets and a number of mortars at Israeli communities in the Negev.

Their commander might have been a "soldier," but their murderous response was - as always - be aimed at civilian Jews, whom they hate.

Israel's citizens in the Negev are bracing for renewed onslaughts on their towns as an on-again, off-again "truce" between Israel and Gaza's Arabs is set to expire in a few days.
