Report: Rockets Fired from Egypt Hit Israel
Weekly Standard ^ | Friday, November 16, 2012 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 11/16/2012 7:52:43 PM PST by upchuck

Two major Israeli newspapers are reporting that rockets fired from Egypt have hit Israel.

"Terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula launched rockets into Israel Friday night," reports the Jerusalem Post. "The rockets fell near an Israeli village on the southern border, causing some damage, but no injuries."

The Israeli daily Haaretz reports, "Rockets fired from direction of Egypt toward Eshkol Regional Council."

It appears no damage was reported in connection with the rocket fire from Egypt. Earlier today, the Egyptian prime minister visited Gaza to express solidarity with the Palestinians there.

This new front comes a day after a rocket landed near Tel Aviv and on the same day Israel's capital Jerusalem was the target of rocket fire. Those attacks were courtesy of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

"After Tel Aviv metropolitan area, capital under fire too: An air raid siren was sounded in Jerusalem and surrounding communities early Friday evening. After residents reported hearing blast sounds, security forces confirmed that one rocket had landed in the Gush Etzion area near a Palestinian village," Ynet reports.

Israel has to attack both Egypt and wipe Gaza off the map. I believe that if Iran joins the fight that the US will destroy Iran. King Obama will have no choice because America will be attacked next.

Well, they did miss that fulfillment of prophecy thing concerning the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, so it comes at no great surprise that many are wandering in a spiritual wilderness yet today...

Now as for the Israelis- they appear to be more hip to what is actually happening.

I wouldn't bet on that. He's already told the world that we can absorb a first strike.

He is so much like Lincoln. Except he is black, incompetent, and hates America. Other than that, you could not tell them apart.

A few more to your list: muslim, racist, communist and may not be a citizen.

On the positive side, they are both tall and have difficult wives.

That’s the former governor of West Virginia, Ebenezer J. McCoy. He was shot to death at age 89 by a jealous husband.

Well, as long as Obama is residing at the location of the first strike, I would have to agree. /s

The similarities are remarkable.

And Lincoln was born in a log cabin while Obama loves a log in his cabin.

And Lincoln grew up in the country while Obama loves Man’s Country.

And Lincoln freed the slaves in America while Obama is enslaving Americans.

PS Actually my #5 post was a Roy Rogers, Dale Evans reference.

I’m not at all sure how we got on the subject of the hyper-virile governor of West Virginia.

Obama’s response: Israel acted stupidly by firing these missiles and if I had a son, he would look like a jihad terrorist.
