Iron Dome Intercepts Rocket Fired Towards Eilat

At least one rocket was fired towards the Israeli resort city of Eilat on Monday night.

Sirens were heard throughout the city shortly before 1:00 a.m. Local residents reported hearing explosions following the sirens.

The Iron Dome anti-missile system, which was just recently deployed near Eilat, reportedly intercepted the rocket before it could explode in a populated area.

There were no reports of damages, but three people suffered shock. Two of them were treated by paramedics and the third was taken to the Yoseftal Hospital in the city.

The IDF and the police are searching the area to determine whether any rockets exploded inside the city, but so far have not located any remains of rockets.

For starters. But first we have to make sure the Muslim Brotherhood is kicked out of the White House in 2016.

Obviously a planted story. Don’t you remember all the lefty “experts” that told us missile defense was impossible? Surely those people, so thoroughly trained and educated in the liberal arts couldn’t have been wrong, and all those scientists and engineers right!

Too hasty, Israel needs a “Provocation” of More Dead Jews(MDJ), G-d forbid, before she’s “allowed” to hit back.
Mecca is on the list but not just yet...how about carpet bombing Rafah west and then, if they don’t behave, Rafah East?

Why wait so long? Not sure the US will be functional by 2016.

I like how they turned old tanks (Merkava) into APC’s (Namers, I think) and even armored ambulances. Now that is what I call recycling.

What kind of rocket...

Wouldn't be the same type noted here on FR yesterday in regards to the Breitbart / Bengazi story that it wasn't about gun running but about the AGM 114's...
