Indiscriminate fire targeted at schoolchildren is indiscriminate:
Palestinian gunmen bombarded Israel with at least 44 rockets and mortar rounds the evening, undeterred by Israeli troops backed by tanks and attack aircrafts… In all, 77 Palestinians have been killed since clashes between Israel and Hamas terrorists sparked Wednesday when an Israeli student at Sapir College in Sderot was killed by a Kassam rocket. Hamas said the baby, Malak Karfaneh, was killed and three other civilians were wounded in an Israeli strike on Beit Hanun, a northern town where Palestinians often launch rockets at Israel. But local residents said one of those rockets fell short and landed in the area of the baby’s house.
We eagerly await the LA Times summary of today’s campaign, which will include the line “… almost one hundred Palestinians, including a baby, were killed in the fighting.” We doubt they’ll be calling this one a “protest” like they did last week when a similar Qassam maimed a 10 year old Israeli schoolchild.
