Islamic Jihad Rocket Hits House, Narrowly Misses Pre-School

A while back, one of our lefty friends told us that, of all the rightwing-ish language on MR, the phrase "fired at Israeli schools and hospitals" rings in a particularly artificial way. Artificial or not, it's true:

The Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for firing a Qassam rocket which hit a house in the center of Sderot early Monday morning, narrowly missing a pre-schoo... The attack [came] after the firing of seven Qassam rockets on Sunday, in which two people were wounded, one moderately, when one of the rockets hit a gas station near Sderot. A total of 11 Qassams have hit the area since Friday... The moderately wounded man, a 24-year-old employee of the gas station, was hit by shrapnel throughout his body and taken to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon for treatment.

Try to wrap your mind around what's going on in Sderot. This is a town - filled with civilians - that is constantly getting bombed from the air. It's like being an actual hot war that has lasted a decade, where bombs are getting dropped on houses - and yes, on schools and hospitals. There's not a country on the planet that would permit this to go on if it was within their power to stop it. But Israel is expected to take it and roll because Palestinian civilians might hurt if Israel tries to root out the terrorists (or, if they're Hamas members, war criminals) that they allow to live in their midst.

But the Sderot residents that are literally getting bombed? That's the cost of living in Israel, apparently.
