More on the truce in the Middle East...
And, what a truce this is!
Islamic Jihad fired about five rockets at the settlements of Ganim and Kadim from Jenin in recent weeks, as part of continuing Palestinian efforts to bring to the West Bank the rocket fire that has threatened Israeli towns and settlements in and around the Gaza Strip.When will the western press start to reporting these serious violations???
The rockets exploded in the air shortly after being launched.
The Israel Defense Forces voiced concerns that the fire would increase after the area is evacuated under the disengagement plan.
Channel 2 reported on Friday that the rockets, which were fired on several different occasions, were aimed at Ganim and Kadim, east of Jenin. They did not land near the settlements however, apparently as a result of technical failures.
It is not clear whether these were Qassam rockets like those used by the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip.
In the last four years Palestinians in the West Bank have been attempting to manufacture or smuggle in Qassam rockets and mortar shells.
On several occasions Israel captured rockets in various stages of development, built with knowhow from the Gaza Strip and terror groups' headquarters in Syria. The Shin Bet has thwarted two attempts by the Hamas and Jihad to manufacture Qassam rockets in the Jenin area.
