"06:13 Qassam rocket hits western Negev; no casualties (Israel Radio)

Where did they launch from?

Youze guys need to learn some geography: Launched from Gaza, from which the Palestinians have launched multple rockets on an almost daily basis since Israel withdrew from Gaza. sometimes 20-30 a day. This is old news, often not even reported in the US. The Western Negev town of Sderot has been virtually shut down for the past 4 months. Fortunately, the Qassam has only a 4-mile range and is highly inaccurate.

Rose Publishing has an interesting map book. It shows the Middle East at different points in history over the past 4000 years with overlays of the current political regions. Very interesting considering the name changes over the years.
