These West Bank Residents Got Bombed. They're Very Happy about It

(GlobalPost) Noga Tarnopolsky - Ramzi Al-Natsheh, 30, expressed indifference bordering on pride about the Gaza-launched missile that hit a Hebron family home on Sunday. "It's Hamas showing what they can do," he says. Hebron is a West Bank city controlled by Hamas. On Sunday, an M75 missile hit the front yard of Taher Tameem, 32, leaving a crater in the ground. The bomb's blast blew out his living room windows, and pierced the entrance to the home and its interior with shrapnel. "You hear a bjjjjjjjj," Al-Natsheh says, delineating a huge arc in the air with his arm, "then "BOOM." Saleh Rabyeh, a teenage boy who was taking dozens of iPhone pictures of the wreckage the day after the hit, exclaimed, "This is great. It is great that Hamas is doing this. But not on us. It's not good here. It should be on the Jews. With just a little bit more flight this one would have hit the Jews." "This is so good," agreed Tameem, the homeowner. "I saw the missile as a blessing from the sky, because it comes from Hamas. Good for Hamas!"
