“Truth behind the harm-ada”

by Steven Emerson
New York Post

June 3, 2010

SNIPPET: “The “Free Gaza” flotilla was far more than a collection of innocent “peace activists” trying to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza. Most passengers may have been nonviolent — but a significant minority were anything but.

The passengers reportedly included 100-plus members of various Muslim Brotherhood chapters, at least 20 of whom taped al Qaeda-style “martyr” videos before embarking.

And the chief organizers clearly had more than “peaceful” intentions for the flotilla.”

“4 rockets hit south
No injuries in latest Qassam attacks; local mayor: We hope not to see escalation soon”

SNIPPET: “Four Qassam rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel Thursday, causing no injuries.

One rocket was fired at Sderot Thursday evening prompting the Color Red alert to go off. The Qassam apparently exploded in an open area near the town.

Earlier in the evening, two rockets landed near the southern city of Ashkelon, while another rocket landed in the Ashkelon Beach region, near a kibbutz.

The two rockets near Ashkelon exploded around 9 pm in an open area south of the city. The anti-rocket alert was activated in facilities and factories in the city’s southern industrial zone, prompting employees to take cover.

Ashkelon Mayor Benny Vaknin said that security officials asked him to “maintain full alert ahead of the possible firing of Qassams and Grad missiles” after the Gaza-bound flotilla left on its way to the Strip.”
