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.

“Egyptians are Muslims. How soon we forgot 9/11. Islam is on the attack again.”

But...but...but...Islam is the religion of peace!

Hussein’s mooselimb space program (NASA) no doubt was assisting the mooselimb bubberhood’s rocket attack from Egypt. The results of the barrage were unspectacular.

The Plan: send the President of Egypt, under a cease fire, to Gaza to help negotiate a truce. Then, while the shaky cease fire begins, have Hamas in Egypt send rockets into Israel. Then have the US media blame Israel for breaking the cease fire. Meanwhile have Obama call the Egyptian Presidentl and commend him on trying to broker a truce. Questions?

Who can blame Israel when they decide to blow Hamas all the way out of Gaza?

My husband said he heard on Mark Levin’s show that Obama is supplying all the ME countries with weapons, even Iran has our drone technology.

I am speechless.

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

You left out another exception/fact: that he’s hell-bent on enslaving all of the clueless people!

“Poor Barack had a hard day of watching the new Lincoln movie...”

I would imagine that it is a very humbling experience to watch a movie about a man(cracker) who was very inspirational and a great leader. Love Lincoln or hate him, I think it is safe to that. Watching such movies makes a day hard, especially, when you occupy the same office and exibit neither of these traits, and you know deep inside your as phony as $3 bill. That would make me tired too.

PREDICTION: War by Morning—It will be a war between Egypt and Israel. Look to see more terror strikes as well as embassy attacks. Obama will go to the UN and nothing will get done. Once the Egyptians are defeated in the Sinai—Iran will step in as well as the Hezbollah in the North. Iran will be attacked and so to Egypt—its air force will be gone in a day.

I was thinking this too. Arab spring, election, then attack. Those countries are led by radicals now. It's not the same game it used to be. And Iran is in there helping somehow.

It really stinks of planning ahead to me.

The Arab Spring wants a Jewish Fall. On another point where are all the “we’re witnessing Democracy spring up in the middle east” crowd, Seems they all went back hiding under their rocks

“the 14th century mullahs will have everyone right where they want to be...”

By the 14th Century, the muslim arabs were on the run, retreating back to the Middle East and beginning the Arab Winter.

The mullas in Iran would much prefer the first Arab Spring in the 7th or 8th centuries both for the privilege of the ‘comforts’ the times provided them and for the powers they possessed.

“IMO the Egyptians will be wishing they had stuck with Mubarak....”

Yeah, and I bet ol’ Col. Ghaddafy’s years in Libya look like the good old days. I’m not kidding.
