Gazans Cheer Rockets Fired at Israel
(Globe and Mail-Canada) Patrick Martin - With every blast that propels another rocket from Gaza toward Israel, a loud Palestinian cheer goes up. They cheer outside Shifa Hospital in Gaza City as a rocket blasts off from a location uncomfortably near the hospital itself. They cheer at the Hamas border post near the Erez crossing separating Gaza from Israel when a rocket is launched 200 to 300 meters away. In the battle for rocket supremacy there is no contest. Israeli rockets have killed 18 people, most of them militants, and wounded several others. The more than 100 Palestinian rockets that landed in Israel wounded four Israelis, one seriously.
