Sderot's Shattered Windows


[Jerusalem Post] Editorial - Israel has dutifully halted its fire, but the rockets keep coming from Gaza nevertheless. It has become a curious game of Palestinian Roulette. The rocket that hit a sensitive strategic target near Ashkelon could have, with a little less luck, released poisonous chemicals over a densely populated urban center. The rocket that fell in a Sderot nursery school playground could have, with a little less luck, taken the lives of many toddlers. When we hear that only minor damage to Sderot was caused by a Kassam rocket salvo, it means that window panes in entire apartment blocks were blown in by shock waves. International opinion is not even aware that some 60 rockets have been unleashed on Israel during what's purported to be a cease-fire. Hence Israel's restraint wins no merit points.
