Rockets rain on Negev ahead of truce

View from the booth: That the Hamas terrorists have only their own power and control in mind, they purposely shoot at engineers and workers as well as directly at the Nahal Oz fuel plant that supplies these charming people with the gas they need to operate, and then blame Israel when it gets shut down as a result of damage to the facility. This is some kind of alternate sick reality.

Rockets rain on Negev ahead of truce


Published: 06/18/2008


Dozens of Kassam rockets hit southern Israel the day before a truce was expected to go into effect.

One of at least 40 rockets fired Wednesday from the Gaza Strip struck a house in Sderot. Another hit a greenhouse in the western Negev. Several mortars were also fired into Israel.

The attacks came shortly after the Israeli government confirmed that it accepted the terms of an Egyptian-mediated cease-fire with Hamas set to go into effect Thursday morning.

Palestinian gunmen also fired on engineers working near the border fence. In response, Israel closed the Nahal Oz fuel depot.
