Terrorism

Still the rockets fall

Arabs in Gaza fired a rocket "into" Israel Tuesday evening in an attempt to kill, wound and terrify civilians.

Israel may have markedly stepped down its responses to the terrorism from Gaza, but the Hamas terror group continues daily to fire on Jewish population centers in the south.

Rockets were fired on Saturday evening, Sunday evening, and on Monday morning as Israeli children were making their way to school.

The timing Monday was understood to be deliberate.

No injuries were caused though some damage was reported.

Meanwhile, Hamas continues to claim interest in reaching another ceasefire agreement with Israel, and Sunday indicated the two sides were nearing “a breakthrough.”

According to Israeli news outlets, IDF officials believe Hamas still has hundreds of rockets, including long-range missiles, despite the damage caused by the IDF in its Gaza operation last month.

In late breaking news, the United Nations reports a weapons depot of leftover IDF ordinance from last month's Gaza operation, which the world body was meant to dispose of, has been stolen.

Unbelievably the UN had allowed Hamas, the terrorist organization that runs Gaza, to "guard" the explosives.

Instead, Hamas had stolen the ordinance, which it plans to use against Israel in the next round of fighting.

The UN is "outraged."
