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.

Thanks. The first time I saw it, I watched over two more times. I think they made it when that writers strike was occurring.

I have a brother who is convinced the lunar landing is a total conspiracy. This ought to solve that mystery. I mentioned my bro's theory to a friend who ran the Navy's test pilot program. You can pretty much say that guy is almost inflappable to stress inducing circumstances...until I mentioned my brother thinking the whole lunar thing was a hoax. He knows quite a few of the lunar pilots personally. I came close to calling 911, thought he might have a stroke.

Really enjoyed the link and will forward that onto my bro. Expecting 1.5 page, single spaced missive in return.

Well, well, well! I thought Obama told Morsi to help in stalling attacks on Israel. Oh! What’s that??

BOOM!

85% of American Jews living in Israel voted for Romney.

American “Jew”, is like American “Catholic”. A majority of them also voted for Obama, 50 to 48. White, observant Catholics were more like 60/40 for Romney.

Just like Catholics and protestants, jews vote as conservative as they are devout. The problem is jews who are like people born into a Christian family, and who never darken the door of a church, but would call themselves “Christian”.

Lets stand with the 85% of American Jews living in Israel who voted there.

Egypt is just looking for an easy way to get rid of the Pyramids.

Matthew 24:16. As God provided water and manna for Israel in the wilderness long before, and protected her from her enemies, so He will care for the believing remnant of Israel in this terrible time.

Naaaaah. Don’t be naive. They VOTED for what they have. It’s ‘democracy’, donchano.

The whole ‘democracy’ movement is anti-capitalist and anti-american. Just in a pretty package called ‘democracy’. Leftists LOVE to control the language.

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

I appreciate your optimism......but I’m waaaaay to pessimistic given his record and past associations.

Israel will not lead from behind. Their contingency operation will be swift and effective. God speed.

No. The mystery of the blindness of Israel results in God’s Plan of grace during the Millennium being glorified.

Israel will not disappear, but those who curse her will be cursed many times over.

There are reasons why people attack Israel, when she poses no risk and most of them are spiritually generated.

Then maybe Obama jumped the shark when he called Mursi today.

“U.S. President Barack Obama called Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi on Friday to commend the country’s efforts to help calm the situation in Israel and Gaza and underscored his hope of restoring stability there.” (Reuters, Nov. 16)

OK, I’m too lazy to research it so I’m hoping somebody can
direct me to any discussions concerning the Iranian connection
to the rocket attacks on Israel. We know that Iran supplies
the rockets. Are the Iranians trying to divert Israeli attention
away from a post-US election attack on their nuclear projects?

No biggie, it’s hard to tell in writing without the /s. I think you’re the fourth or fifth to wonder about the post.
