the barrage continues

And just because kassams are not front page or even b-section news, don’t think for a minute that kassams are not being launched into Israel via the Gaza Strip: Ynet News:
A Qassam rocket fired by Palestinians in northern Gaza Tuesday landed near a strategic installation near Ashkelon's southern industrial zone. Three more rockets landed near the western Negev city of Sderot. No injuries or damage were reported in the attack.

Around 8 am Tueday morning, the "Color Red" alert system was activated in the Sderot area, and three loud explosions were heard in the city shortly thereafter. A half-hour later another rocket was fired toward Ashkelon.

That was Tuesday am. Here’s how Monday started:
Palestinians in north Gaza fired six Qassam rockets toward the western Negev on Monday. No injuries were reported. The al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad's military wing, claimed responsibility for the attacks. "The barrage was part of our decision to point our weapons only toward Israel," the group said in a statement.
