I’ve been pointing out that the kassam rockets are getting deadlier, and will continue to get deadlier, since the Philadelphi corridor is no longer patrolled by the IDF and the Egyptians turn a blind eye to smuggling.
Yet another attack, yet another critical injury:
A worker at a Sderot factory was critically injured Tuesday morning and another worker was lightly wounded after a Qassam rocket directly hit the factory. A fire broke out in the place, which was severely damaged. Three people suffered from shock.
Another rocket hit a house in the southern town, causing damage. Two rockets landed in open areas.
[…] Many residents reported of burns in their eyes and heavy smoke which made it difficult to breath.
Yehuda Sasson, manager of Magen David Adom rescue services in the Negev district, reported that the fire in the factory broke out
Paramedic Gadi Abu Hatzira said: “The Qassam landed in a storeroom of hazardous materials, not far from the ammonia containers. We evacuated a 40-year-old man with a head injury to the Soroka hospital.”
The death and injury toll will keep rising, unless Israel does something about this. The UN is uninterested in the rights of Israelis to live and work in peace. They have never condemned the near-daily rocket barrage from Gaza into Israel. But they’re quick to condemn Israel for the actions she takes to stop the rocket attacks.
The IDF is going to have to mount a major operation in Gaza. And, of course, the world will blame Israel. As always.
The Paramedic’s name sounds Muslim. (Not that I am surprised.)
And the critical injury has now become another murder. Yaakov Yaakovov succumbed to his injuries tonight.
