This Ongoing War..
17 April '13..
The terrorists who are building up men and material resources in the chaos of today's Egyptian Sinai struck again this morning. Two GRAD rockets were fired into - and struck - the southern Israeli resort city of Eilat.
Memo to those lacking historical, geographic or political background: Eilat is not and never has been claimed by Palestinian Arab terror apologists as 'occupied territory'... other than by the many extremists who see all of Israel as the territory that is occupied. The readers of the Lebanese Al Manar news website for instance, are seeing a report at this moment headlined "Rockets Hit Occupied Town of Eilat"; Al Manar is a mouthpiece of Hezbollah. The semi-respectable Palestinian Maan News Agency has called Eilat occupied too, though never in the English language.
Times of Israel is reporting that one of the two missiles crashed into a residential neighborhood; the other in an open area on Eilat's outskirts. Reuters says both hit open areas. Ynet says there were three rockets, and two landed in residential areas. Israel's Army Radio, which is broadcast throughout the country, is quoted saying that a rocket
had also hit the nearby Jordanian city of Aqaba, but a spokesman for the Jordanian Civil Defence denied the suggestion.
Fortunately, and this is a matter of divine intervention and human failure, no injuries are reported, at least not so far. Damage is said to be light.
