They are repoting that the missiles shot were not regular Katushas, but with a much larger amount of explosives. Needless to say, these missiles were shot on purpose to hit and kill as many civilians as possible.

Israel is on the front lines in the war with Islam. Islam will be emboldened all over the world to kill Jews and Christians unless they and their sponsors are stopped AND beaten-NOW! We must as a civilization, support and defend Israel or face the consequences.

FOX News saying this could have been the FAJR 5 Rcoket
The Fajr-5 (Arabic, Persian: ÝÌÑ-5, meaning "dawn-5") is an artillery rocket developed by Iran in early 2006. The system is part of the Fajr family of rockets.
In May 2006, Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO) has developed an upgraded version of the well-established Fadjr-5 333 mm (4-round) unguided surface-to-surface artillery rocket system (ARS).[1]
The latest production of the Fadjr-5 is installed on a new Mercedes-Benz 6 x 6 forward control chassis and the platform is now integrated into a complete weapon system rather than an individual launcher. To provide a more stable firing platform four hydraulically operated stabilisers are lowered to the ground before firing.
The new chassis has improved cross-country mobility and the forward control fully enclosed cab provides space for the driver and two passengers. Another fully enclosed cabin to the immediate rear of the cab houses the remainder of the crew. The new Mercedes-Benz chassis is similar to that manufactured in China, which is used as the basis for the Norinco (China North Industries Corporation) 122 mm (40-round) Type 90 ARS.
While the primary role of this artillery rocket system is the engagement of land targets, AIO says that a radar can be added to give the system the capability to track and engage naval targets. The Fajr-5 missile, which is launched from a mobile platform, reportedly has a range of 75 kilometers, or 50 miles.
50+ injured - 1 confirmed death.
Interesting that Kevin Sites has left Tyre this weekend. His Hezbo comrades must have tipped him off about this launch...

Israel now confirming seven rockets hit the area. At least five in the city itself.
Israel should not be bound no longer by the straitjacket of a coming cease-fire, freedom from Hezbollah's rain of rocket terror is paramount. Massive retaliation is what Hezbollah deserves.
