Gaza Sniper Wounds Israeli Official

More of the never-ending jihad attacks in Israel:

A Hamas sniper who wounded an aide to Public Security Minister Avi Dichter, Mati Gill, was aiming for the minister and the group he was leading, the organization told a French news agency late Friday afternoon.

Gill was listed in light to moderate condition at Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon after being shot and wounded by a Palestinian gunman Friday while he and Dichter were touring an observation point overlooking the northern Gaza Strip. Dichter was not hurt.

Dichter and Gill had taken a 15-member delegation of the Board of Governors of the Canada Israel Committee (CIC) to the overlook near Sderot in order to familiarize them with the situation in southern Israeli communities bordering Gaza, which have come under frequent Palestinian rocket fire....

Religious Affairs Minister Yitzhak Cohen went to visit Gill in Barzilai Hospital and Mati told him: "Yesterday we went to an hachnasat sefer Torah [a ceremony commemorating a synagogue's acquisition of a new Torah scroll] in Sderot. I want the people to know that they can continue shooting but we will respond with more hachnasot sefer Torah."

What an obscene comment (at least as reported). Classical Judaism demands that murderous attacks be stopped through military action, not through religious foolishness.
