SNIPPET: "Israeli warplanes bombard two smuggling tunnels in southern Strip early Sunday after Palestinians fire rocket at Negev on Saturday"

SNIPPET: "IDF fighter jets struck two Palestinian smuggling tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip in a pre-dawn raid on Sunday. The army said that two of the tunnels had been hit but there were no reports of casualties.

The strike came in response to a Qassam attack on Israel's western Negev on Saturday. The Color Red alert system was sounded in parts of the area and residents reported of hearing a loud blast.

No injuries or damager were reported in the attack.

A resident of Kibbutz Alumim, who was at the local synagogue when the rocket landed, told Ynet: "We brought all the children inside and waited until we heard the explosion. This is yet another reminder that peace is still far-off.""

It’s a shame that a rocket didn’t come crashing down at the time Obama stopped by Sderot for a photo-op. Not to injure anyone, mind you, but to let the Marxist and Leftist liberal media see and feel what it’s like.

Too bad it didn’t hit an empty Presidential limousine or an empty news truck. It might have been the first time the liberal media had ever shown what these “toys” can really do.
