Rocket Hits Gush Etzion
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/11/12 | Tzvi ben Gedalyahu

Posted on 11/20/2012 5:53:38 AM PST by Eleutheria5

A rocket exploded in an open area near an Arab village in Gush Etzion around 2:15 p.m. as sirens wailed in Jerusalem during another barrage of rockets and missiles unleashed by Hamas.

The missile exploded in an open area, and no one was injured. Minutes before the sirens rang out, an AFP correspondent in Gaza City reported hearing the loud report of an outgoing rocket.

The attack was claimed by Hamas's armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, which said it had fired "an M75 rocket at the occupied city of Jerusalem."

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who spent the past two days in Egypt, had been scheduled to hold talks in Jerusalem with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman shortly after noon.

At least one missile was aimed at Jerusalem last week and reportedly exploded in an open area next to an Arab village in Gush Etzion, located south of the capital.

Shortly earlier on Tuesday, three rockets hit a kibbutz, critically wounding at least one person. The early warning siren system did not operate, and there are fears that several young people, possibly children, are trapped in debris.

This story is incomplete. My son's school in Rosh Tzurim (in Gush Etzion) was hit. Some kids were hurt, my boy not among them. This now personal.

thank you for the information. in my prayers. let FR know the status of the children. sounds like today will be the day, if the deadline for the ceasefire is really sought after by Hamas. (personally I doubt it will be, Hamas wants a war).

Oh how I wish one of those missiles would land right on the dome of Al-Aqsa during hours when a bunch of muslims have their a$$es up in the air in their “prayer.”

I thought the schools in the south had been closed since the beginning of Pillar of Cloud!

Still praying for your safety and that of your family. I'm glad to hear that your son was not hurt.

"United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who spent the past two days in Egypt, had been scheduled to hold talks in Jerusalem with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman shortly after noon."

Wonder how Ban Ki Moon would handle nork rockets landing in Uijongbu or Seoul. I'm sure he'd urge a diplomatic approach.

If a missile hits Jerusalem may it hit the UN representative on the head. Maybe that will knock some sense INTO him...

There is a conservative synagogue in Atlanta that is inviting everyone to come there tonight and stand in support of Israel.

Ahavath Achim Synagogue

I would encourage anyone in the Atlanta area to attend at 7:30 pm, 600 Peachtree Battle Ave.

As a Christian, I will stand with Israel.

The Lord bless thee and keep thee . Will keep you and your family in my prayers.

(Psa 83:1) A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

(Psa 83:2) For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

(Psa 83:3) They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

(Psa 83:4) They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

(Psa 83:5) For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

(Psa 83:6) The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

(Psa 83:7) Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

(Psa 83:8) Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

(Psa 83:9) Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

(Psa 83:10) Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

(Psa 83:11) Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

(Psa 83:12) Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

(Psa 83:13) O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

(Psa 83:14) As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

(Psa 83:15) So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

(Psa 83:16) Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

(Psa 83:17) Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

(Psa 83:18) That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

(Psa 140:1) To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

(Psa 140:2) Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

(Psa 140:3) They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.

(Psa 140:4) Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

(Psa 140:5) The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

(Psa 140:6) I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

(Psa 140:7) O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

(Psa 140:8) Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

(Psa 140:9) As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

(Psa 140:10) Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

(Psa 140:11) Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

(Psa 140:12) I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

(Psa 140:13) Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

Unleash the IDF onto them, Bibi. Please.. for God’s sake, do it. Send those sub-humans into the Egypt and NEVER let them back in.
