En zo is de cirkel weer rond.

Samenvatting van vandaag: Hamas schiet vier projectielen de grens over, IDF schiet daarop terug met vier doden tot gevolg, Hamas schiet weer een projectiel.

Ik heb nog een beetje zitten tellen, met behulp van de lijsten op Wikipedia en diverse nieuwsbronnen ben ik uitgekomen op 103 projectielen die sinds 1 januari 2011 vanuit Gaza zijn afgeschoten. In heel 2010 zijn er 265 projectielen afgeschoten.

Qassam explodes south of Ashkelon
A Qassam rocket was fired from the north of the Gaza Strip towards the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon. It landed south of the city. The area is being scoured for the rocket's exact landing spot. No injuries or damage were immediately reported.

Earlier, the spokesman for the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, Abu Ahmed, said that the brigades' response to the IDF attack on a military unit in the Gaza region "will be different, and will come soon." (Shmulik Hadad and Elior Levy) (via)

Grad fired from Gaza lands near Ashdod
Escalation in security situation around Strip goes up another notch as rocket falls south of the major southern city of Ashdod for first time since Operation Cast Lead; earlier IDF accidentally kills Palestinian civilians, takes out Islamic Jihad rocket-launching cell

Tension in south rise: Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired a Grad rocket towards Ashdod Tuesday night, marking the first time the Israeli city has been targeted since Operation Cast Lead.

Retaliation
Shortly after IDF fire in Strip kills four Palestinians - including two youths - aerial strike targets Islamic Jihad cell Israel says was behind recent Grad attack on Israeli city. Al-Quds Brigades says Israel should expect 'different type of response.' Army: Escalation to continue

The rocket apparently landed din an open area south of Ashdod. There were no reports of injury or damage. Security forces were searching for the rocket's exact landing site. Sirens were also heard in Gan Yavne and Kiryat Malachi, with some residents reporting that they heard explosions.

"People here are panicking," Ashdod resident Yair Shalom told Ynet. "I saw my neighbors running downstairs frantically, and people on the street leaving their cars behind and running to secure areas." Tuesday was one of the more turbulent days Israel has seen since the war against Hamas during the winter of 20082009 ended. In response to a mortar attack on the Negev, the IDF shelled a neighborhood in Gaza and accidentally killed a number of civilians, including two youths, aged 11 and 16, and two men, aged 20 and 50. The army said terrorists were also hit in the attack, and expressed regret over the deaths of civilians. The IDF has launched and investigation into the incident to check why the force's radar malfunctioned and if the commander's decision to open fire was hasty. The army will also examine the decision to launch mortars, which are known to be inaccurate.

'Tension to last for weeks'
Palestinian terrorists responded by firing a rocket towards Ashkelon and a mortar at the Ashkelon Beach Regional Council. There were no reports of injury or damage in either attack.
A few hours later the Israeli Air Force launched an attack on an Islamic Jihad terror cell Israel claims was responsible for a recent Grad attack on Beersheba. Four terrorists were killed in the strike. Shortly thereafter Palestinians launched another Qassam rocket, which landed south of Ashkelon. No one was hurt.
IDF officials estimated that the surge of confrontations with terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip will continue over the next few weeks. They noted, however, that Hamas has no interest in significant, long-term escalation of the situation and stressed that the attack on Israel are initiated by other terror groups, such as Islamic Jihad.
The IDF Southern Command instructed Gaza vicinity residents to stay on high alert, fearing that more rockets will be fired towards the region overnight. (via)
