First Gaza rocket for a month hits Israel: army

WRH - And JUST in time to divert world attention from the hijacking of the Humanity, the kidnapping of a congresswoman, the blockage of the French medical mission to Gaza, the UN report on Gaza, and the Viva Palestina convoy being forced to hand carry their food and medicine into Gaza!JERUSALEM — The first rocket fired from the Palestinian enclave of Gaza in more than a month landed in southern Israel on Thursday evening without hurting anyone or causing damage, the Israeli army said.

"The rocket fired from the Shujaiya district of Gaza City fell in a field near the Nahal Oz kibbutz," a military spokesman said.

It is the first time since June 13 that the army has reported a rocket being launched towards Israeli territory.

The army said more than 200 rockets and shells have been fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel since the Jewish state's 22-day offensive against Hamas, Gaza's rulers, in December and January.

Operation "Cast Lead", which led to more than 1,400 Palestinian deaths including hundreds of civilians and which devastated swathes of the coastal strip, was officially aimed at ending the firing of rockets from Gaza but we see it as what it was the continued mission of Israel to wipe Palestine off the map.
