Crude, homemade rockets kill another Israeli

The “crude, homemade” kassam rockets murdered another Israeli, a 70-year-old woman.

A 70-year-old Israeli woman was killed early Monday evening from a Palestinian Qassam rocket which crashed into the backyard of a residential home in Yesha – a small community belonging to the Eshkol Regional Council.

The woman sustained critical injuries from the impact and MDA paramedics alerted to the scene fought to resuscitate for some time before ultimately calling the time of death. Medics also treated a 50-year-old man for shock.

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad, has claimed responsibility for the attack.

And the rockets keep on coming.

Earlier in the afternoon two Qassams were fired from northern Gaza towards the Erez border crossing. No injuries or damage were caused.

Hamas is now threatening to kill more Israelis if they don’t accept the Hamas surrender truce terms.

“If Israel rejects the agreement it will carry the burden of compromising its citizens’ security,” said a senior Hamas official to Ynet, referring to the message relayed to the Egyptian Chief of Intelligence Omar Suleiman in Israel.

Gaza is threatening that if Israel rejects the agreement presented by the factions for a calm an escalation in the clashes will be unavoidable.

That’s funny. I thought Jimmy Carter said we needed to Hamas’ point of view. It seems their point of view is one of murder and more murder, on top of threats, rockets, and terror. Oh. And more kidnappings.

According to him, Hamas demands that each agreement will include the opening of crossings: “An agreement that doesn’t contend with this issue is not an agreement and as far as we are concerned will not be carried out at all or in part. The significance is that we are able to use all our cards, or part of the ones at our disposal. Rejection of the initiative will bring Shalit a lot of playmates from the ‘army of occupation’.”

Think Jimmy Carter will have something to say about this?

Yeah, me neither.
