17 Palestinian Rockets Strike Israel

There is no logical reason why Sderot will not become Ashkelon, Ashdod and then Tel Aviv, with progressively increasing casualities as Palestinian technology improves. In response, Israel's leaders have demonstrated an unwillingness to fight back. The current policy of occasional pinpoint strikes are relatively meaningless to a group that seeks death in battle.

Seventeen Palestinian rockets struck Israel's western Negev region on Monday, including three that hit Sderot, lightly injuring one resident and causing five others to suffer from shock. Another rocket sparked a fire in a wheat field near Kibbutz Miflasim.
