A lot of Gaza rockets are falling - in Gaza



This morning, the Gaza NGO Safety Office sent out an SMS saying "Overnight, Pal. ops. fired 2 rockets toward the Green Line; both rockets dropped short and landed in the Pal. terr. "

Their latest bi-weekly report says:

During the period of reference Gaza witnessed a substantial increase in the number of rockets. From the 12 rockets fired between 30JUL-03AUG, six were launched from North Gaza; five others were fired from the Middle Area and a last one was fired from Rafah. Furthermore, from the total number of occurrences, ten rockets dropped short, one rocket exploded at the launching site; and a last one dropped on the Israeli side of the Green Line.
So Gaza terror groups are bombarding Gaza with rockets. 11 out of 12 attempts to shoot rockets to Israel ended up with the rockets exploding in Gaza.

No injuries were reported, probably thanks to the buffer zone Israel enforces. But in the past we have seen many rockets causing death and injury in Gaza.  And, besides one incident, no reporters mentioned a single injury or death from the hundreds of Hamas rockets that fell in Gaza last year during Operation Protective Edge.

All of those other deaths are being blamed on Israel.
