For the first time since Operation Cast Lead, the southern Israel area of Ofakim has seen a rocket hit that was fired by islamic terrorists in Gaza. And that wasn't the only bold move by the Pali terrorists.
From the report at Israel National News:
Gaza-based terrorists fired a Grad rocket at the southern Israel town of Ofakim on Friday morning. The rocket hit an open field near the city; no injuries were reported.
The attack was the first Grad rocket shooting in the Ofakim region since the end of the Cast Lead counterterror operation in Gaza in early 2009.
On Thursday night, terrorists fired a short-range Kassam rocket at the Eshkol region. No injuries were reported. A third rocket was fired on Friday morning, but apparently landed within Gaza.
Hopefully, we will see the quick retaliation from Israel in regards to these rockets that we have see since the end of Operation Cast Lead. I don't care if these are retaliatory against the killing of a couple of Army of Islam terrorists the other day or not...Israel needs to remind the Palis that when a rocket launches from Gaza into Israel, an immediate hell to pay response is not only to be expected but guaranteed.
I've often said that if the leaders of Hamas or Islamic Jihad or Army of Islam know that a bullseye is painted on their back by the IDF and that whenever a rocket lands in Israel from Gaza, the green light is given to exterminate those with bullseyes, that we would see very few rockets leave Gaza. Or, the Israelis can let a few go here and a few land there and then find themselves facing the half a dozen rockets coming in every single day as they did before Operation Cast Lead. Doesn't seem like a tough decision, does it?
Gaza Terrorists Fire on Ofakim
Gaza-based terrorists fired a Grad rocket at the southern Israel town of Ofakim on Friday morning. The rocket hit an open field near the city; no injuries were reported.
The attack was the first Grad rocket shooting in the Ofakim region since the end of the Cast Lead counterterror operation in Gaza in early 2009.
On Thursday night, terrorists fired a short-range Kassam rocket at the Eshkol region. No injuries were reported. A third rocket was fired on Friday morning, but apparently landed within Gaza.
Avner Mori, head of the Merchavim regional council in which Ofakim is located, said the attack “is a reminder to us all that peace has not yet come to our region, and the government of Israel must take immediate steps to protect those who live here.”
On Wednesday, the Al-Qaeda inspired Gaza-based terrorist group Army of Islam vowed revenge on Israel after troops killed two senior terrorists who were plotting attacks on Israelis in the Sinai Peninsula. The two terrorists, Islam Yassin and Jamal a-Nahmnam, were both killed while driving in Gaza City.
The Army of Islam is an increasingly popular Salafi terrorist group that wishes to see Gaza run by Sharia (Muslim law). Army of Islam fighters have occasionally clashed with Hamas, which has instituted sharia law in Gaza, but only partially.

I agree. Israel needs to something immediately. So discouraging. These people will never quit until and unless Jews are gone.
