Palestinian rocket explodes in Ashkelon
Luckily, besides one person suffering from shock, there were no other injuries. Talk about miracles!
more here

Ashkelon's resident woke up Monday morning to the sound of a rocket alert siren. Moments later, at around 7 am, explosions were heard in the area.

One rocket hit a southern neighborhood in the seaside city and another in the Ashkelon National Park south of the city. The first rocket landed near an elementary school in an area where several schools and kindergartens are located. One woman suffered from shock and several houses sustained damage.

...

"My mother, who looked out the window, noticed something flying right in front of her and falling near the building. A great miracle occurred here, although had the rocket landed several minutes later, children would have already arrived in the area and many people would have been walking around here."

1. Those peace loving "militants" barely missed a school bus
on Sunday (from the same article):

On Sunday afternoon, Palestinian gunmen fired two Qassam rockets at the western Negev. One of the rockets landed at the parking lot of Sapir College, causing a woman to suffer shock and damaging some vehicles.

The other rocket landed in Sderot near a bus carrying schoolchildren.

Three children suffered shock and were treated by Magen David Adom paramedics. The bus' windows were shattered and a fire broke out nearby. The Islamic Jihad's military wing, the al-Quds Brigades, claimed responsibility for the shooting.

2. Those peace loving militants
have one goal and one goal only.

They don't plan to stop until the mideast is free of Jews.

They just keep proving their intent over and over again.

6. Perhaps an
edit of the thread title is in order to reflect the killings.

7. I can't edit the title myself
My "edit time" has elapsed. Perhaps the mods can do so. I have no objections anyway.

4. 70 year old woman killed near Gaza
A woman who came to visit a relative in moshav Yesha, near the Gaza Strip, was killed on Monday evening when a Kassam rocket struck the family's house.

Palestinians fire 2 rockets at Ashkelon

The woman, 70, was first reported to be in serious condition, but quickly succumbed to her wounds.

Minutes after the attack, the Islamic Jihad terror organization claimed responsibility.

The deadly attack comes just four days after a mortar shell barrage killed Jimmy Kedoshim, 48, a father of four, as he stook in the yard of his house in the Negev Kibbutz, Kfar Aza.

The spate of lethal incidents comes at a crucial time, as Egyptian Intelligence chief Omar Suleiman attempts to convince Israel to accept an Egyptian-moderated ceasefire agreement with Hamas during a visit to Jerusalem.

5. There will be no peace
until the Palestinians believe that having a state is more important than killing Israelis.

Very sad indeed.
