Defending Gush Katif
Arab terrorists fired more than eight mortars during the 20-minute bombardment Friday afternoon, seriously injuring a child in Neve Dekalim, the largest Jewish town in Gush Katif. "He was lying in bed when the shell hit," the boys's fathers said. "He was injured from the fragments, one of which apparently struck his lungs."
The father decried the lack of IDF response to the constant barrage of mortar shells. "Jewish children are being abandoned because the army is afraid to act," he said.
But the army did act, it posted soldiers outside of the community and it made a very strong statement concerning the attack:
"We will not accept this massive shelling, just as we do not accept the firing of Kassam rockets near Sderot," army sources said Saturday.
Surely, after such a strong response, Israel's partners in peace will immediately cease firing those rockets. Sure they will, and pigs will fly, hell will freeze over, the grass will grow blue and the sky will turn green.
