Report: Rockets Fired from Egypt Hit Israel
Weekly Standard ^ | Friday, November 16, 2012 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 11/16/2012 7:52:43 PM PST by upchuck

Two major Israeli newspapers are reporting that rockets fired from Egypt have hit Israel.

"Terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula launched rockets into Israel Friday night," reports the Jerusalem Post. "The rockets fell near an Israeli village on the southern border, causing some damage, but no injuries."

The Israeli daily Haaretz reports, "Rockets fired from direction of Egypt toward Eshkol Regional Council."

It appears no damage was reported in connection with the rocket fire from Egypt. Earlier today, the Egyptian prime minister visited Gaza to express solidarity with the Palestinians there.

This new front comes a day after a rocket landed near Tel Aviv and on the same day Israel's capital Jerusalem was the target of rocket fire. Those attacks were courtesy of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

"After Tel Aviv metropolitan area, capital under fire too: An air raid siren was sounded in Jerusalem and surrounding communities early Friday evening. After residents reported hearing blast sounds, security forces confirmed that one rocket had landed in the Gush Etzion area near a Palestinian village," Ynet reports.

"King Obama will have no choice because America will be attacked next."

Tell that to Ambassador Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith and Glen Doherty.

I believe that if Iran joins the fight that the US will destroy Iran. King Obama will have no choice because America will be attacked next.

I have no faith that this would happen. Obama would be more than happy to see Israil wiped from the map.

I think Daniel Day-Lewis got his inspiration for Abe Lincoln’s voice from Grandpa McCoy. I told my kids and they didn’t know what I was talking about. They found a vid on youtube and agreed with me!

If that’s sarcasm, you need to end with “/s”.

“Obama would be more than happy to see Israel wiped from the map.”...

Agreed. And I believe Israel understands this. Israel has many capabilities and certainly it’s Intelligence Community is light years ahead of ours... This line of thought brings up some interesting possibilities...

“This administration isn’t accountable for anything.”

Then I guess I’m an old, mostly white, conspiracy kook because I noticed that Hamas waited until two days after Obama was safely elected to his second term before attacking. Yep, senility is settling as well. I’ll just set back and watch WWIII until my food runs out after the financial collapse wipes me out. What a life.

Have you not been paying attention?

Barack would probably look forward to an invasion of the evil US by Iran. At least he would then have people around that he could identify with.

At any rate, it would be six months before anyone who works for the King, would tell him that the Iranians had landed.

The Mossad needs to figure out a way to covertly redirect one of these rockets into the dome of the al-aqsa mosque. Just for laughs if for no other reason.

If I didn't see that video with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true. Everything Not Ken Burns does is just fabulous. Great link.

Ain’t it somethin’ that all this is breaking out one week after Obama was reelected - apparently Muslims in the middle east know better than the, what, seventy percent of Jews in this country who voted for him just how passive and feckless Obama will be in standing by Israel.......

Thanks. The first time I saw it, I watched over two more times. I think they made it when that writers strike was occurring.
