(IsraelNN.com) Palestinian terrorists fired a volley of Kassam rockets at Sderot and environs Sunday afternoon, sending 6 people into shock and damaging a house and another building.

A total of nine Kassams have hit the northern Negev today, including six in the afternoon bombardment, which began at 1:45 PM. One rocket hit a supermarket in Sderot, causing no physical injuries but sending six people to be treated in a nearby emergency health center for shock.

Another rocket hit a house, damaging a wall and a bedroom, and sending one person to be treated for shock. A resident of the apartment took cover in the sheltered room when the Color Red alert went off, thus saving his life.

A third Kassam rocket smashed into the town's cemetery, causing damage to eight gravestones. No one was hurt.

Ex-Public Security Minister Dr. Uzi Landau called on the public to continue to visit Sderot and support its shopkeepers and businesses. Landau heads the Eretz Nehederet association, which organizes weekly shopping trips to Sderot from around the country.

Hamas Takes Fuel From Residents It was announced today that Hamas had confiscated, for its own use, millions of liters of fuel transported into Gaza as part of Israel's humanitarian assistance to the residents.

I just watched Jimmy Carter on CNN talking about Hamas wanting peace with Israel.

He knows this is the case even as Hamas disputes his word.

Carter is a fool and a disgrace.

Olmert? Olmert? Olmert. . .?

“Landau heads the Eretz Nehederet association, which organizes weekly shopping trips to Sderot from around the country.”

The only positive note.

Just ordered pizza for some Sderot residents from PizzaIDF.org, as well as some burgers for IDF troops. Part of their 60th anniversary celebration.

It isn't much, but if it makes somebody's day, it was well worth it.

Condi, and her dumbass boss BUSH, could care less.

They don’t give a damn about America being invaded by illegals.

They don’t give a damn about Iran killing American troops.

To hell with both of them.
