The rocket calendars

Here are all of the rocket calendars for easy reference, in reverse order from last month.

The numbers are lower than reality; these are just the attacks I have been able to find links to. The number of mortars especially tend to be much undercounted in the earlier months and on days when there are many Qassams.


Q=Qassam (may include Katyusha-style rockets)
QS=Qassam landing short in Gaza
M=Mortar
F=Fatality (F=Gazan, F=Israeli)
(G)=Grad (included in Qassam count, not consistent yet)

M*- Apparently upgraded 120mm mortars
MS=Mortar landing short
P - unnamed "projectiles"
(Paren) indicates unconfirmed Palestinian claims

* - Fatal non-rocket attack

K=Katyushas from Lebanon

Mortars are severely undercounted since they simply don't make the news any more.

I'm going to hold off on reporting on humanitarian aid unless Israel starts to withhold it in reaction to rocket attacks. You can otherwise assume that aid gets sent six days a week.

A day without yellow doesn't necessarily mean the crossings were closed; I just may not have seen the reports of them being specifically open.

January 27 the crossings were closed immediately after a fatal attack on an IDF patrol outside Gaza during the day, but goods didget transferred in the morning.

M*- Apparently upgraded 120mm mortars

Yellow=day Israel sent aid to Gaza
Blue=day Egypt sent aid to Gaza via Israel, inspected by Israel at Kerem Shalom)

October and September had few rockets. The six-month "cease fire" really lasted about two months, and Israel increased the amount of supplies to Gaza by a large amount during that time period.

May 2007

As with the February, March and April calendars, the numbers for each date represent the number of Qassams fired on that day. The numbers in parentheses (second row after date) are those I saw reported by Palestinian Arab media, outside of parentheses (first row after date) are those reported in Israeli media. Linked dates are dates that Israel fired back. (Israel has fired back every day since the 15th and I have not maintained links for each day.) Italicized numbers indicated number of mortars claimed to have been fired, as opposed to rockets.

The dates with URLs (in red on some browsers) are the days Israel responded to events in Gaza.

March 2007

The numbers for each date represent the number of Qassams fired on that day. The numbers in parentheses are those I saw reported by Palestinian Arab media, outside of parentheses are those reported in Israeli media.

The one day highlighted in red is the single day since the "cease-fire" started that Israel reacted to Qassams in Gaza.
