JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli security officials say a rocket fired from Lebanon has hit a hospital in Safed.
ROFLMAO! you beat me by 1 minute. Check out my post above yours!
Only terrorist would shoot rockets in directions of cities full well knowing their targets will be random. The whole purpose of these rockets is to terrorize.
On no! That could change the face of this war.
Oh, THIS is going to go over real well in Israel. /s
HIZBOLLAH ROCKET HITS HOSPITAL IN NORTHERN ISRAELI TOWN OF SAFED, CASUALTIES FEARED-MEDICS
That's their intent. Fire enough of them and they are sure to hit sonmthing that is a high-value target to them. In this case, a hospital.
Time to ratchet things up and perform a true cleansing of the wicked.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A rocket fired by Lebanese guerrilla group Hizbollah hit a hospital in the northern Israeli town of Safed on Monday and medics said they feared there could be casualties.The strike came as a barrage of around two dozen rockets fired from Lebanon struck towns and cities across the north, including Haifa, Israel's third-largest city.
This could change things. As a leader, its difficult to justify a cease fire to your people when things like this happen.
The daily thread says no injuries.
Time to return fire with strategic carpet bombing.
Come on Olmert! Keep your testicles strapped on and do what needs to be done.
JERUSALEM, July 17 (Reuters) - A rocket fired by Lebanese guerrilla group Hizbollah landed next to a hospital in the northern Israeli town of Safed on Monday, injuring at least six people, medics said.
The strike came as a barrage of around two dozen rockets fired from Lebanon struck towns and cities across the north, including Haifa, Israel's third-largest city.
The Israeli army said the rocket sent shrapnel into buildings around the hospital, including a synagogue. Medics said two people inside the hospital and four people outside were wounded, although the injuries were believed to be light.
Hizbollah has fired around 500 rockets into Israeli in the past six days, targeting towns and cities across the north and as deep as 50 km (30 miles) inside Israel. Twelve civilians have been killed and several hundred people have been wounded
But Hezbollah says they only target the IDF.
Why is this post not in Breaking News? Just wondering...
Good question.
Just as I was posting it, CNN was reporting that it hit "at or near" the hospital. So, I decided to hold off on the breaking news sidebar until more details were available.
