Israeli Border Kibbutz on Frontlines of "Prolonged War" with Palestinians
(Washington Times) Laura Kelly - In the small farming and industrial community of Kibbutz Kfar Aza, residents wake up to a dark, daily reality.

For seven months, Palestinians have violently rioted at the border, launching flaming balloons that burned thousands of acres of farmland and shooting hundreds of rockets into Israel. When Palestinians burn tires to block the view of Israeli soldiers, the acrid black smoke blows into the community.
