JERUSALEM – Palestinian militants in Gaza fired more than 50 rockets into Israel on Saturday, the heaviest barrage in two years, Israeli officials said, while Hamas police beat up reporters and confiscated their equipment.
A Hamas official was killed and four civilians were wounded when Israel hit back with tank fire and air strikes, said Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Adham Abu Salmia.
The violence comes amid increasing calls for reconciliation between Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his bitter rivals, the Islamic militant group Hamas. Abbas is seeking U.N. recognition for a Palestinian state by the fall and is currently lobbying for votes worldwide. Hamas used force to disperse a reconciliation rally in Gaza. Some reporters were later beaten up, threatened and briefly detained.
Luckily for Israel, Hamas hardly ever strikes any targets with thier rocket barrages. As ineffective as those Lybian rebels who spend more time shooting into the air than at Qadaffi's mercenaries.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Turns out, the Hamas rockets were triggered by concerns among Hamas leaders that Fatah is calling for unity and reconciliation. (Hamas seems to prefer tension over peace, and most Palestinians are agreeing with the peace-seeking side). It's a downright silly "we're better terrorists than you are....."
Incidentally - the initial rockets came Friday at noon ---- which tells me the people firing the rockets are lousy Muslims (that's prayer time, Muhammad).
