Hamas Jihadists Fire Over Fifty Rockets Into Israel

From Jihad Watch:

Hamas jihadists fire over 50 rockets into Israel


Resuming their jihad while the world's attention is elsewhere. "Hamas fires dozens of rockets at Israel," by Ian Deitch for the Associated Press, March 19 (thanks to JCB):



JERUSALEM – Palestinian militants in Gaza fired more than 50 rockets into Israel on Saturday, the heaviest barrage in two years, Israeli officials said, while Hamas police beat up and confiscated equipment from reporters.

A Hamas official was killed and four civilians were wounded when Israel hit back with tank fire and air strikes, said Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Adham Abu Salmia....





Note how the shameless AP highlights the Palestinian casualty claims of the Hamas spokesman.



Israeli police spokesman Tamir Avtabi said Gaza militants fired 54 mortar shells at Israeli border communities within 15 minutes. He said two Israeli civilians were lightly wounded by shrapnel and residents were advised to stay at home or in bomb shelters.

Hayim Yellin, head of the Eshkol region where the mortars exploded, said they were the same type as those intercepted on a cargo ship last week loaded with weapons Israel said were sent by Iran to Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.



Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said he will file a complaint at the U.N. after Saturday's unusually large barrage of rockets. In a statement, Lieberman said the Palestinians "primary goal is destroying Israel."...





Of course.
