Now who would be supplying Hamas with Katyusha rockets?

I’ll give you one guess.

That would be the country on the eastern border of the one I'm located in.

“Shades of Yom Kippur War: Be’er Sheva Opens Bomb Shelters”

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) The Home Front ordered Be’er Sheva to prepare for Katyusha rockets and to open 250 public bomb shelters, bringing back memoires of the Yom Kippur War in 1973 when families slept in shelters during Egyptian attacks.

Flyers are being distributed throughout the city, the country’s fourth largest, advising residents that they will have one minute to run for cover in the event of a rocket attack. A wailing siren will sound for 90 seconds, and people are advised to remain in the shelters for at least five minutes before an all-clear signal.

Mayor Rubick Danielovitz called on citizens to continue their daily routine but to be on high alert.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Reacting to anger from the Arab world, as well a call by the United Nations to cease hosilities, Ms. Livni said on “Fox News Sunday” that the assault “is needed in order to change the realities on the ground, and to give peace and quiet to the citizens in southern Israel.”

Speaking from Jerusalem in taped interviews, Ms. Livni said that until Hamas recognized Israel’s right to exist and ceased rocket attacks against Israel, they remained terrorists who needed to be acted against.”
