A disturbing trend here - even though the Israelis have killed a number of Hamas and others in Gaza in the past week, the islamists continue the barrage of Israel with missile bombardments. They have fired off more than 40 in a one day span with nearly 30 firings in a one hour period.
This will, of course, result in more Israeli attacks and my biggest fear is that this is another ploy by Hamas to drag Israel in deeper.
If I were at the controls of Israel, they need about six strategic strikes against Hamas and Islamic Jihad LEADERS quickly - when the leaders die, the missiles stop...that has been shown time and time again.
Here's the full story from DEBKA.

DEBKAfile: Palestinians keep up missile barrage from Gaza Wednesday, firing 40 by the afternoon – mainly against Ashkelon and Sderot
Thirty were fired in a single hour from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m., injuring another two people in Sderot. One exploded in Kibbutz Nir Am.
Tuesday a kibbutz volunteer, Carlos Chavez, 20 from Ecuador, was killed and four Sderot residents injured, including two children. The day saw 41 missiles, a Katyusha rocket exploding in southern Ashkelon, heavy machine fire against the homes of Kibbutz Alumim and 16 mortar rounds, many falling at Netiv Ha’asara.
In Sderot, more families are getting packed to flee their small beleaguered town, as emergency medical services sustain top-level alert for further assaults on Israeli targets within a wide radius from Gaza.
Israeli counter-terror operations in Gaza Tuesday left up to 20 armed Palestinians dead, and more than 40 injured.
DEBKAfile’s military sources: 17 months after a month-long Hizballah rocket bombardment of northern Israel, the Israeli military and air force are again frustrated in their efforts to staunch the Palestinian cross-border missile assault on southwest Israel. Their operations lead only to intensified bombardment. High casualties do not deter Hamas and its jihadist partners.
For this reason, many of the IDF field officers commanding Gaza operations complain that as long as their sorties are confined to the fringes of the Palestinian bastions in the refugee camps and mortar positions, the Hamas' missile-launching capabilities will not be seriously affected.
