Minor miracles occur to shield innocent kids from PLO bombs: Close Calls On Israel´s Southern Mediterranean Coast 10:55 Oct 29, '03 / 3 Cheshvan 5764 Voice of Israel's Reshet Bet, Israel's most listened-to station, broadcast on its 10:30 news flash this morning that IDF forces killed a terrorist as he and an accomplice tried to climb the border fence in Gaza near Kibbutz Nachal Oz. The broadcast stated blankly, "the terrorists were not armed." The report neglected to mention, however, that they were equipped with maps of the area and were reconnoitering the site for a future attack. An anti-tank shell fired at N'vei Dekalim last night, following seven shells the night before, has brought the total number of rockets fired by Palestinian terrorists at Gush Katif and environs in the past three years to 3,500. Local residents have initiated an on-line Hebrew-language petition (at "www.katif.net/patzmar/bpatzmar.php") demanding an "appropriate military response" to end this situation. Though none of the recent rocket attacks led to injuries, the three shells that hit N'vei Dekalim on Monday night were accompanied by minor miracles. Katif.net reports that one shell hit a spot where only a minute earlier, a boy bouncing a basketball was asked to leave by a man who was not enamored with the monotonous sound. A second shell hit the porch of a home where only a few minutes earlier, a visiting family was sitting until their host invited them to come indoors, as it was "getting chilly." The guests' car was damaged, as was the door of the home. In the third incident, the shell exploded only eight inches from the wall of a house, hitting and destroying an air conditioning unit instead. A woman inside the house was treated for shock after her home was filled with gas from the destroyed a/c unit.
