The Gaza rocket attacks took an unexpected escalation Monday night as a grad rocket was fired north of the Israeli city of Beersheba, roughly 40 kilometers from the Gaza Strip, according to the IDF Twitter page. Beersheba is one of the largest cities in Israel’s south and one of the farthest locations reached thus far by Gaza rocket fire. The IDF Twitter feed did not report any injuries or damage.
It was the first time since April that a Gaza rocket had reached the vicinity of the city...

The Palies will keep firing rockets because the politicians won’t allow the IDF to use an effective method of shutting this down completely. The Muzzies know this and they just keep on launching. But then again the Leftists in the Knesset don’t mind seeing their fellow Jew die or suffer at hands of the Muzzies.
The IDF should be able to shoot those rockets out of the sky IMHO.
Iron Dome has made successful intercepts, but it has to be deployed and in the proper area.
Where is the XM-785 artillery round?
When I was 12 I was a school chess champion and went to a competition in Beersheba.
I was crushed in a pathetic number of moves; I can’t even remember the real number -— I used to add 10 or 20 moves to it to make it not so sad, and now I can’t remember the real number.
It’s kind of a big town now, 200,000 or so.
Lots of Russians and Jewish people from various African countries.
