Rocket fire on Sderot continues during the Bush visit reports Ynet News:
Five Qassam rocket were fired from the Gaza Strip Wednesday afternoon, including one that hit a house in Sderot. Another rocket landed in the center. Four people sustained injuries in the latest attack, including a 17-year-old girl who suffered shrapnel wounds to her arm and a boy who was hurt while attempting to take cover. Meanwhile, a 60-year-old man arrived at hospital after reporting chest pains in the wake of the attack.
Then there are the Palestinian claims of responsibility and rationale for the attack.
The Salah al-Din Brigades of the Popular Resistance Committees claimed responsibility for both rocket barrages. The group's spokesman, Abu Mujihad, told Ynet: "The firing was undertaken in the framework of continued messages to US President Bush that no plan would be able to defeat Palestinian resistance. The Palestinians will not cave in to this joint scheme with Israel to defeat the resistance."If launching rockets against an Israeli civilian population living behind the 1949 armistice lines is to send a message of disapproval to a US President for supporting the establishment of a second Palestinian state isn’t an example of a deeply twisted pathology on the part of Palestinian ‘militants’ – then just what is?
