Terrorists just miss murdering babies

The worst-case scenario—the deaths of dozens of children—just missed becoming a reality today.

Three Qassam rockets were launched from northern Gaza towards Israel on Friday by noon, with one of the rockets narrowly missing a nursery in Kibbutz Nir Am. The rockets were fired several short hours after IDF soldiers killed a Hmas gunmen in an exchange of fire in southern Gaza.

The nursery in question is intended for toddlers aged one and half to two. The nurse for the children’s homes, Orna Schwartz, told Ynet of the ordeal: “The children were in the yard when the rocket alarm sirens sounded. We rushed to bring them into the bomb shelter and then we heard a loud explosion.”

A near-miss is almost as good as a hit, though. Guaranteed the pals are recalibrating their missile launchers for this one.

“All the windows shattered, pictures fell from the walls and there was a great panic. We have a fortified roof but not full reinforcement,” said Schwartz, adding that it was a miracle no one was wounded.

“We were very fortunate that none of the children were injured but they were very frightened. This is the reality they have to deal with,” she said.

So how does the AP cover this story?

In a related development, a Palestinian militant was killed and two were injured in a clash with Israeli forces on a raid in the southern Gaza Strip Friday, the military said. Palestinian medics confirmed one man was killed. Hamas claimed the dead man as a member, but local residents said he was not a fighter.

Right. Ignore it. Kassams have been flying every day during the s-called “lull,” and yet, the AP picks up only on the deaths of “militants.” These “militants” are the men responsible for creating, importing, and smuggling the rockets that nearly killed Israeli babies in a nursery today. But that angle isn’t important to the world media.
