Islamic Jihad: (Al Quds Brigades)
91 Grads
31 "Jerusalem" missiles
24 "107" missiles
31 mortars
PRC (Nasser Salah Din Brigades)
47 "Nasser" rockets
9 mortars
Fatah (Al Aqsa Brigades - al-Nedal Division)
19 Qassam-type rockets
7 mortars
So the total through Monday is 91 Grads, 121 short range rockets and 47 mortars, or 259 projectiles for these three groups. There may have been others that shot rockets as well.
Interestingly, they are not counting any rockets fired since the "cease fire" on Tuesday night.
The fragile armistice between Israel and the Gaza terror groups was stretched further on Thursday night as several rockets were fired at western Negev communities from the Strip.None of the terror groups are taking responsibility for these rockets. So, by the logic of the Western world, they cannot be considered "cease fire" violations.
Gaza terrorists fired a Grad rocket at Ashdod, which was intercepted by a nearby Iron Dome battery. Moments later Qassam rockets hit open areas in Eshkol Regional Council and the outskirts of Ashkelon.
Thursday morning saw a Gaza-launched rocket explode in an open area near Netivot. Several hours later a Grad rocket fired at Beersheba was intercepted by the Iron Dome system.
Only when Israel responds is it a violation.
Those are the rules of the media, and who am I to argue?
