Think of the virgins! Think of the photo-ops!

Hezbollah fires a rocket that lands near the West Bank city of Jenin and a Palestinian citizens have this to say according to Ynet News:
Palestinian witnesses in the Jenin area, who noticed the rocket parts which fell between Beit Shean and Afula, said the rocket appeared to have fallen in the Gilboa area. A Fatah activist from Jenin added that the rocket hit was heard clearly around the city, and a spark and a flame were also clearly seen.

The Fatah member related that local residents cheered when they heard the rocket fall and saw the resulting flames. “Even if it were to fall on our heads, it wouldn’t have spoiled our joy. All of us here are praying for Hizbullah’s success and victory," he said.

He noted that in Jenin, Palestinians were convinced that the Israeli army was being squarely defeated in Lebanon, with proof implicit in Wednesday’s massive rocket barrages and the extension of Hizbullah attacks to the valley area, plus the IDF’s difficulty in entering deeper into Lebanese territory.

If Hezbollah keeps firing like this it may bring about a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, though admittedly, not the one Hamas was looking for whereby the Jews get pushed into the sea. Instead the Palestinians get pounded into kingdom come but even still - think of the Hezbollah photo-ops!
