Two Qassam rockets landed today near a kibutz in the Israeli Negev. Yesterday saw 4 rocket launches from the Gaza Strip. One of the four rockets landed close to a kindergarten and only by a miracle no one was hurt. Today's rockets are no. 54 and 55 since the declarartion of the ceasefire over a month ago.
Yuval Diskin, the head of Shin-Bet, the Israeli security service which operates in the Palestinian Territories, spoke in yesterday's government meeting and described the catch in which Israel is in: If Israel does not respond the launches will continue; if it does respond, the relative calm which the ceasefire brought would be over. Diskin reported that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the rocket launches and not the Hamas who is adhering to the ceasefire.
