Rockets Fired Toward Sderot and Ashkelon
22:17 Jan 28, '07 / 9 Shevat 5767
by Ezra HaLevi


Two Kassam rockets were fired at Israeli cities from Gaza Sunday night – one toward Sderot and the other toward Ashkelon. No injuries were reported.

The rockets were fired by the Islamic Jihad terror group, which has been largely standing on the sidelines as Fatah and Hamas battle it out in the streets of Gaza.

Islamic Jihad’s statement taking credit for the rockets called upon all Arab factions to unite toward the common goal of killing Jews.

The group has recently announced that it will begin firing improved rockets with longer ranges and a larger payload of explosives.

Sderot and other communities in the western Negev have reportedly been bracing for the worst, fearing the onslaught of rockets once Fatah and Hamas stop fighting each other and once again focus on the common enemy: Israel.

That may not be far off. Both Hamas and Fatah have agreed to a Saudi proposal to hold negotiation in Mecca, according to a report by Al-Arabiya television.
