Wes: Just received this from my missionary friends in Israel

This morning rockets from Gaza began to rain down on Israel. First to nearby Kibbutzim and villages, then to the town of Sderot, and then to the cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon. The attacks began at 6:00 AM as people were awaking and preparing for their day. The blasting of Red Alert sirens changed their courses as they began running for shelters. It's 9:00 AM now in Israel and the rockets have not stopped. The rockets came after the killing of Islamic Jihad leader Abu Al-Ata in Gaza. The Israeli Air Force bombed a building in a targeted strike which killed the Muslim leader. The Prime Minister's Office confirmed that Israel was responsible for the airstrike. The leader was the Senior Commander who organized rocket and terrorist attacks against Israel. Islamic Jihad Secretary said "We are going to war against Israel". This group is not under the control of Hamas, but acts independently. Rockets have reached as far as Holon which is near one of the most populated cities in Israel, Tel Aviv. Also Rishon L'Zion was hit and several rockets hit the town of Sderot causing injuries and damage to Israeli civilians. School has been canceled in the south and part of central Israel and Ashdod is in a state of emergency. It's been two and a half hours now and the rockets are still slamming into Israel. Israel has urged residents of southern Israel to stay in bomb shelters. The military said that they expect rocket fire towards the center of Israel also. Sorry for the font, it's not cooperating with me. Israel really needs your prayers, the civilians running and afraid in bomb shelters, the kids who shake uncontrollably, and the Government to make wise decisions on how to respond. There are Arabs who are Believers stuck in Gaza, please pray for the innocent people who are trapped by their own leadership in the Gaza Strip.
