Hamastan rockets Israeli town

Arabs in Hamas-controlled Gaza Tuesday fired two rockets at the Israeli town of Sderot, extensively damaging a yeshiva but causing no injuries.

The attack came a day after Sin Bet chief Yuval Diskin warned that Hamas plans to stage “suicide” bombings among Israelis.

Diskin also cautioned against the belief of many Israelis that Fatah is securely in power in Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank.”)

Abbas’ organization is divided and could be overthrown there as easily as it was in Gaza.

Tuesday’s early morning Kassam strike was the second from the strip since the Islamist “Palestinian” group seized control two weeks ago.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) claimed credit for the previous attack, following which the IDF fired a missile into a car of Kassam-launching PIJ members, killing one and wounding three others.
