Woman killed in Sderot rocket attack

Shirel Feldman, 32, was killed and another man was moderately injured Monday evening as a Qassam rocket hit a car at a commercial center in the southern town of Sderot, near a bakery.

Five rockets were fired at the southern town at around 8 pm.Two landed south of Ashkelon, one landed in Sderot and two in the western Negev.

An hour and a half later, three additional rockets were fired from Gaza, landing near one of the kibbutzim in the western Negev. Two more rockets were fired at around 10:30 pm. There were no reports of injuries.

The woman killed in the attack suffered from injuries to her limbs and stomach. She was evacuated by a Magen David Adom crew to the Barzilay Medical Center in Ashkelon, where she died from her wounds.

Another man injured by shrapnel was also evacuated to hospital. Twelve people were treated for shock.

The rocket landed very close to the commercial center. Most business owners had closed their shops for a meeting on the situation.

The Salah al-Din Brigades, the Popular Resistance Committees' military wing, claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks. About 17 rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip since Monday morning.

Sderot residents said that the rocket alert system was not activated before the rockets landed in the city.

Tova Malka, the secretary of Mayor Eli Moyal, was at the landing site. "I left work and arrived at the center in order to drop off a good friend. He just got off and I continued driving, when I suddenly heard an explosion. My head flew forward and I hit it," she said.

Another resident, Moshe Shaubi, said, "I passed by to buy shoes. I saw my nephew exactly at the place where the rocket later fell. I shouted at him, 'Are you crazy? Don't hang around here.' Suddenly I heard an explosion. The rocket hit exactly when a woman passed by the car which was directly hit. I saw her and she was severely hurt in her legs."

Residents riot following attack

Dozens of Sderot residents demonstrated in the center of the city following the fatal rocket attack. The protestors clashed with police as the convoy of Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana passed by.

During the clashes, the protestors hurled stones at the municipality building. Dozens of youths tried to break into the building, and when they realized the door was locked, they smashed a large vase on it. A number of workers were trapped in the building.

Yosef Timsit, whose wife Colette was seriously injured in a rocket attack last week, fainted during the demonstration.

"I came to Sderot from the hospital. I heard on the news that a woman was killed. I have never taken part in demonstrations, but I am in pain and it?s my right to protest. I have nothing, I have no home, I have been sleeping in my car for a week.

"When one of the policemen kicked my son I felt pain in my chest and fainted. I admit, I wanted to hit the policeman so that he would arrest me, so that I could have a place to sleep tonight. I prefer to sleep in a detention cell and not in a car.

"I'm asking Arcadi Gaydamak to adopt my injured son and take care of him," he added.

The demonstrators chanted "death to the Arabs" and held signs calling for a "second Operation Defensive shield.

Another resident, Netanel Sarusi, said, "We don't want to be next. We have had enough. I have a 3-month-old daughter. We demand a Operation Defensive Shield in Gaza like the one they had in the West Bank."

On Monday afternoon, Palestinians fired three Qassam rockets from the Gaza Strip at Israel. There were no reports of injuries.

One of the rockets landed near a gas station in the area, one hit a hothouse in a local community, starting a fire, and the third rocket landed in a kibbutz south of Sderot.

The Color Red alert system was activated in Sderot as students were taking their matriculation exam in English. Terrified parents called the schools in fear that a rocket may have hit an education institution.

On Monday morning, three rockets were fired towards Israel. Two rockets landed near a kibbutz in the western Negev and the third exploded south of Ashkelon.

Anarchy, civil-war, and terror. That's Palestinian society today. And apparently, even killing each other is not enough of a kick for them.

Why do you never make threads like these when Israel blows up a Palestinian family?

Brown people don't have souls Solaris!

More than 50 people have been killed in northern Lebanon in fighting between the government and Islamists, but they dont warrant a thread because an Israeli died. Not that this event is anything short of horrific, but there are far worse things going on in that part of the world.

8 Killed as Israel Hits a Hamas Politician?s Gaza Home

The Israeli Air Force struck the home of a Hamas Parliament member in Gaza on Sunday night, killing eight people, Palestinian hospital officials said

...

Officials at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said that the dead included seven members of Mr. Hayya?s family, including three of his brothers, and a neighbor. Mr. Hayya, 44, who arrived at the hospital surrounded by supporters shortly after the attack, said his brothers were ?part of the Palestinian people? and had nothing to do with politics.

.... Palestinian medical officials also said Sunday night that six children were wounded when an Israeli tank shell hit a house in Beit Lahiya, in northern Gaza

Oh for the love of whatever deity you prefer, just blow the weaker party into dust and you won't have a problem. What the hell is wrong with their world? It's like the effing monsoon season, people are too lazy to destroy the cause f their problems.

I like Numbers because he condones genocide and wanton destruction.


And, sadly enough, it might actually solve part of the problem. Of course it would create others. And those would be far worse.

 

[CptStern]

yes perhaps it would be best if they nuked palestine ...so what area of palestine do you guys think should they aim the nuke at?

If you have a problem, blow it. Got people launching rockets at your populace? Get those bastards. Have problems with Israel artying your people? Blow them. Don't have enough money to blow them? Kill yourself.


Tanks solve EVERYTHING. Well, maybe you need infantry as well, but you get the idea.








Of course, there may or may not be better ways of solving said problems.

why havent you annihilated North Korea yet? put your money where your mouth is and nuke your neighbbours already! what the hell are you waiting for? a written invitation? ..there be commies to slaughter ..oh and advance condolences to the millions of South Koreans slaughtered in the process ..oh well, for the better good I always say. My advice: dont eat the glowing snow ..although you probably should cuz you'll die a far more horrible death in the long run

We don't want to annihiliate our own citizens; they're all ours, those people in North Korea. And Kim Jung Il is a rebel of sorts.

Keep in mind that we want to take over, not destroy.





Too bad this war won't end. 50 years of slow, stupid semi-warfare with large gaps between fighting has really annoyed me. Just mow them down with superior US forces, maybe by faking an attack on any one of the US bases near the DMZ, and the US will pound them from the air, while we go ahead with the ground troops.

this isn't about skin color its about a retarded religion.
( 2 in this case.)

 

[Nemesis6]

Stern, as far as I recall, I linked to that case.

War is like this, especially when fighting terrorists who have experience with PR.

where? within this thread? if no then who cares ..the point is you self perpetuate terror ...you're just too blind to see that

War is like this, especially when fighting terrorists who have experience with PR.

yes ...terrorists and Public Relations ..that goes together like well terrorists and explosives ..I hear the pertigious PR firm Saatchi and Saatchi have been trying to land terrorist clients for decades now ..they're such a hard demographic to crack as they cant be wooed with things like dinners at swanky upscale manhatten restuarants or expensive gifts from cartier

anyways once again you prove how utterly partisan/blind you are ..you report on the death of a single israeli as if it is a tragedy yet when the same tragedy happens on the other side you dismiss it as just another example of terrorist propaganda ..you truely are hopelessly blind and ignorant ...this is why the overwelming majority of HL2.net members ignore everything you say because no matter how much sense they try to beat into you it just doesnt sink in ...at some point debating you just becomes a lesson in futility

If you think the US cares enough about joining NK and SK to risk thousands of our troops, you're very wrong. NK doesn;t have anything really crucial to us. The situation as it stands is fine. If anything we'd be more likely to completely pull out our forces from that region. But then again it's a tactical location to keep a watchful eye on China, Russia, and Japan.

And you do realize that any attack on North Korea will likely lead to the complete and utter destruction of Seoul by artillery and missiles, right?

South Korea's Defense Ministry said the North had amassed more than 13,000 pieces of artillery and multiple rocket launchers, much of it aimed at Seoul.

Jane's International Defense Review estimates that if North Korea launched an all-out barrage, it could achieve an initial fire rate of 300,000 to 500,000 shells per hour into the Seoul area -- home to about half the country's 48.5 million people.

The biggest are 170-mm self-propelled artillery guns and 240-mm multiple rocket launchers. It also has hundreds of Scud missiles that could hit any part of South Korea.

So, before going in all gung-ho, you might want to realize that a lot of South Koreans, mainly civilians, will die if a war breaks out. You have fun with that.

 

[DeusExMachina]

I'll support you Numbers, forget all these haters. Hell, we don't even need an army. You and I will take out the North Korean communist regime.

US-ROK alliance pacts say that the US has to help us in case of war, and vice versa.



And that is why I support the continued expansion of our military resources, including but limited to manpower, long range artillery, missles, chemical weapons, and high-accuracy guided missles. All to ensure the continued survival of the Republic of Korea.

I'll support you Numbers, forget all these haters. Hell, we don't even need an army. You and I will take out the North Korean communist regime.

YEAH!

I say leave them to it. They'll run out of guns or bodybags eventually.
If you can't change something why bother worrying about it.
