Three Katyusha missiles were fired at the Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona today; two of them struck the city. There were no injuries but there was significant property damage. Hezbollah denied responsibility, and the Lebanese army claims to have prevented an additional rocket from being launched.
The IDF suspects that the rockets were launched by a Palestinian group that wanted to start a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. It was also suggested that possibly it had some connection to the ongoing struggle between the Lebanese army and the Fatah al-Islam organization in the refugee camps.
Just the usual everyday Arab terrorism against Israel. Just like breathing, they fire a few rockets, do a drive-by or maybe a bombing inside Israel. Even during the horrendous fighting between Hamas and the hapless Fatah in Gaza, somebody took time out to launch a few Qassams at Sderot. The multiplicity of terrorist groups, all with their particular brand of ideology, religious, secular, allied with Syria, funded by Iran, connected to al-Qaeda or the Muslim Brotherhood — they all have the same way of expressing themselves, which is to try to kill Jews.
Unless the Jews are unavailable, in which case the fruit of the highly developed Arab civilizations has to content itself with murdering and dismembering Arabs associated with other factions, looting, or other less satisfying pursuits.
