Same old, same old.

Now that the Israelis settlers’ have been removed from Gaza and Samaria the Jerusalem Post is reporting mortar fire has landed today in Israel from the Lebanese border and the Israeli community of Sderot is under Kassam rocket attack – again.
Three days after the completion of the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip – an operation conducted amidst near-total quiet on the part of the various terror organizations – Israel again found itself under fire.

A mortar shell landed in Moshav Margaliot near the Lebanese border Thursday morning. No one was injured, but a chicken coop sustained damage. Lebanese security sources said a rocket also landed in Lebanese territory, but there were no injuries, Israel Radio reported. Following the attack, Israel submitted a formal complaint to the UNIFIL forces on the Lebanon-Israel border. The security alert level in the north has been raised.

Approximately two hours later, two Kassam rockets landed between Sderot and Kibbutz Nir Am in the western Negev. Sderot's Red Dawn early warning system was activated a short time before the rockets landed, and no injuries were reported as a result of the attack. Security forces were combing the area.

Which all goes to show that old dogs still don't learn new tricks.
