Gaza Rocket Attacks Over Sabbath Go Unanswered

Israeli media are reporting that at least 5-6 Gaza terror rocket attacks during Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath) have thus far gone unanswered by Israel's military.

On Friday night, 2 Kassams landed in Sha'ar Hanegev Region and through Saturday evening another 3, possibly 4 rockets were launched with at least 1 or more rockets landing inside Gaza.

One of the rockets landed near southern Ashkelon and another near a kibbutz. Three other Kassams hit open areas near Sderot and in the Eshkol region.

Israel National News reports that:

Unlike previous attacks, the IDF has not retaliated. Previous retaliation has targeted rocket launching cells and tunnels used to smuggle weapons and ammunition.

Israel agreed in mid-January to end the Operation Cast Lead counterterrorist campaign in Gaza, stating that rocket attacks virtually had ceased and that the United States and European countries would use technology and monitors on the border between Egypt and Gaza to prevent more smuggling.

The proposals still are on the drawing boards...
