Letting the Gaza Genie Out of the Bottle
(Ha'aretz) - Amos Harel Israel has found itself, over the past few days, facing a new kind of front along the border with the Gaza Strip. In the last week, Sderot and the surrounding kibbutzim and moshavim have come under a daily barrage of rockets. The mass production of the Kassams, with a range of 7.5 kms, is beginning to bother the IDF, concerned for possible casualties if one such "primitive" rocket hit a heavily-populated building. Palestinian losses from the Israeli action have shown them what to expect from a more wide-scale offensive.
