Palestinian Terrorists Torment Southern Israel

Two Israeli soldiers, Eran Dangor and Doron Asulin, both twenty years old, were killed in an operation to stop Palestinian terrorists from firing rockets into southern Israel. The Jerusalem Post reports:

Six civilians were wounded in two separate incidents Saturday as Palestinian terrorists launched over 40 rockets at southern Israel on Saturday alone.

One person was moderately wounded and two lightly as a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit Ashkelon’s marina late in the afternoon. Several others at the scene were treated for shock. All of the wounded were evacuated by rescue teams to Barzilai Hospital in the city.

Earlier, three more people, two of them children, were lightly and moderately wounded when a Grad-type Katyusha rocket smashed into the town.

My heart goes out to the victims of Palestinian terrorism.
