"Terrorists Fire Rocket Near Power Plant"
01:39 Jan 02, '05 / 21 Tevet 5765


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Arab terrorists Saturday continued to bombard Israel with mortar shelling and rockets, one of which exploded near a major power facility.





A Kassam rocket fell Friday south of the Ashkelon power plant, just north of Gaza and within Israel's pre-1967 borders. Critics of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan have pointed out that an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza would bring the power plant within striking range of Kassam rockets. The Ashkelon facility is Israel's major source of electricity besides the facility near Hadera, north of Tel Aviv.

Another Kassam exploded near the community dining room of a kibbutz (collective community) between Sderot and Gaza without causing injury, and one landed in a residential area in Sderot. Terrorists fired more than a dozen mortar shells since Friday despite the IDF's three-day-old Purple Iron offensive intended to combat such attacks."
