Hamaas is spoiling for a fight. The IDF has been hesitant, under Olmert, to accomodate them. At some point, soon, they're going to have to go into the Gaza and push them back out of the Negev rocket range.

Two houses in Sderot were directly hit by Kassam rockets late Friday, causing several people to suffer from shock.

One man suffered from chest pains and was evacuated to hospital.

Two other Sderot residents suffered from light injuries after falling down while looking for shelter from the rockets.

Palestinian gunmen claimed responsibility for eight out of over 30 rockets which have hit Israel since early morning.

The Salah-a-Din faction, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, claimed responsibility for four Kassam rockets, and the Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the rest.
Hamas said it would not be deterred by Israel's cutback of the power supply.

"The Zionist enemy must understand that the policy of assassinations, of attacks, of embargo, of cutting electricity and fuel will not halt the resistance and will not break the back of the Palestinians," said a senior Hamas official, Ismail Radwan. "We warn them of a large volcano that will erupt if their aggression increases."

Israeli security forces have reported at least 22 rocket strikes on Friday, with at least 12 landing in Sderot, five landing south of Ashkelon, and one striking a green house in the western Negev.
A number of people have been treated for shock as a result of the attacks.

On Thursday, some 20 Kassam rockets pounded the western Negev. One rocket struck a direct hit on a garage adjacent to a home in Sderot, setting it ablaze and sending three people into shock.

Two Kassams landed near a college in the Eshkol region. No one was wounded and no damage was reported. The other rockets all hit open areas.

Terrorists also fired some 10 mortar shells from the Strip. No one was wounded and no damages were reported.
