Update – Palestinians Still Trying to Murder Israelis

Palestinians, having been given land by Israel upon which to create their own state, are still using that state to fire missiles and lob bombs at Israeli civilians:


A Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip Friday afternoon landed in an avocado orchard in the western Negev, missing by dozens of meters IDF artillery batteries positioned nearby. A worker alerted the police after the rocket hit and damaged an avocado tree in the orchard. Security officials collected the empty shell of the rocket, noting it is larger than Qassam shells collected in the past. Another Qassam rocket landed in open fields near the southern town of Sderot overnight Friday, bringing the number of rockets fired since Wednesday to four. Palestinians reported that members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah’s military wing, were behind the firing.

Fatah, of course, being the ruling Palestinian party – that enjoys international legitimacy, has access to billions in international funds, and participates in global efforts to brand Israel an outlaw state.

In other “how’s that Palestinian state coming” news, voting had to be shut down in the Fatah primaries because of gunfire.
