A rocket fired by Palestinians from Gaza last night landed between Ashdod and Gedera, in the first such attack after a two-month period of quiet. Sirens sounded in Ashdod and nearby communities and residents were told to enter protected rooms and shelters. There were no injuries.
Since the terrorist attack on the Egyptian border near Eilat that killed eight on August 18, the Gaza border has been relatively calm with only a few rocket launches, most directed at small communities near the Gaza Strip. Last night's rocket, fired around 11:10 p.m., landed in a field. It seems to have been fired from the northern end of the Gaza Strip, from a distance of about 30-35 kilometers . The explosion was heard clearly all over Ashdod, which means it had a relatively large warhead.

Anybody surprised?
Of course “The Won” is blameless.
But hey, Netanyaho did make him look like the little man he is...and narcissists have a deep need for revenge. It’s also “The Chicago Way.”

The radicals got Egypt’s and now Girrrrdaffie’s military hardware. Tanks, planes, missles, bombs, weapons of all kinds. Two more heavily armed radical muzzie countries to join Iran in the big attack on Israel.

That is quite a gold mine. Will Hamas be sending Obama a thank you note?

Uh, Dallas59? It is not like they have the room as say in our Midwest.
Israel is a tiny country. Think NJ, but more densely occupied.
Bigger weapons most likely will endanger Israeli civilians. So say a tactical nuke is out of the question, even a FAE bomb may be too much.

I did not realize Israel was making them.
Goog for them, bad for muzies. Place them in all muzi areas set on a dooms day trigger. A bomb or rocket with a bomb flies into Israeli territory the dooms day trigger sets it off and "cleans" out the bad element.
"Hey, we abhor the loss of life, but we did warn them. They CHOSE to kill their own people."
Seems to be a win lose thing with the muzis being the losers.
Friend this action on FB.

This article makes me surmise that zer0 shares Amahdinijad’s belief in the Mahdi.

I still think Ebola at the market in Gaza on Friday afternoon would be the best weapon. Bin laden did mention biological warfare. Well, someone tried to create something and , oops.

They might if he doesn’t stop playing with his lead soldiers on the floor of the oval office.

When I heard about the Libyan missiles, I figured someone would take advantage of the situation. Hoped it would be the good guys, but oh well. zer0 is a piss-poor CIC.
